Q: 偽りの仮面で僕は世界を拒絶した

How do you understand the meaning of this sentence?

I think 偽りの仮面で means something like "I hid my feelings from others." that is, no one knows what is really on my mind and why I did this? とはどういう意味ですか?
A:
Ah, the phrase comes from the lyrics! First of all, the lyrics' interpretation is totally open to the listener, so you don't have to decide which one is correct. You can choose the one you like.

Thus, the following is, again, just an example of the interpretation.

I guess my interpretation of the metaphor was more or less right for the situation.
For example, 「作り上げた笑顔で応える」 means he is role-praying "a smiling man" while he is not actually comfortable.

However, the nuance I felt was somehow opposite to the first interpretation. The atmosphere of the overall lyrics is dark and tragic but somehow sounds powerful.

What I missed in the first answer is the arbitrariness of the choice of the mask.
The second paragraph of the lyrics is a description of taking his own life. Thus, the mask he wears is something just imposed from outside of him. He is confusing about the detachment between what he actually acts (=mask) and what he really wants to act (=true feelings). He knows how he should behave or how he is expected to behave, but at the same time, he understands that it is not his true feelings.
The conflict described in the lyrics seems a bit similar to what Elsa in Frozen sings in "Let it go," or 人間失格, famous literature in Japanese, in my sense.

One thing that I found is interesting is that the mask is described as some obligated artifact. Still, he accepts the behavior that he is doing through the mask. He explains his actions in an active voice, which made me imagine that he struggles to grasp his own reality in his life, although it should be painful. Perhaps it is why he had tried to end it all.

As you pointed out, he is mentally ill. The mental illness could be derived from the pain that he felt during his struggle to accept his mask as his own. The struggling could be a kind of maturing process, in my opinion.
