"My humor is pain in disguise. We laugh to hide the pain."
Simplified meaning
Sometimes, when a person tells jokes or makes others laugh, they're actually hiding their own sadness or hurt. Imagine a clown at a circus who always makes kids laugh, but when he goes home, he's feeling lonely. Even though he looks happy at work, inside, he's not feeling good. This can happen in real life, too. For example, a friend might always be the life of the party, making everyone else smile, but secretly, they could be struggling with their own problems. If we notice someone who's always trying to be funny, it might be worth checking in on them. They might need support or just someone to talk to about their true feelings.
