Meaning
This reads as a claim that inner life can be layered even when outward habits stay plain. It can be taken to mean that a person may carry mixed motives, doubts, and contradictions without living a dramatic life, and it lands in moments when someone feels hard to explain but does not want their life to be complicated by chaos.
