What did HE mean by this?

Question

He told me, "the mask that I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like S**t."

Answer 1

it sounds like one of those old spy codes like

"The duck flies at midnight"

I couldn't tell ya unless you give more detail...does he collect masks does he speak of masks as a metaphor for himself?  

Answer 2

That's a line from the song 'Lua' by Bright Eyes.
