This first talks about lying awake in bed wondering if you want to be different. This could be connected to 1984 with Winston having to act like every one else in society even though he doesn't really fit into this society at all. So he wants to be different but he can't or else he could be killed for not fitting into the society. Then it says try to let go of the truth. In 1984 when Winston is in prison he is tortured until he lets go of what he thinks is the truth and only accepts what the part says as true. Its a beautiful lie. This line could refer to in 1984 where the government lies to every one in order to make a better society. and it is a beautiful lie because no one can prove them wrong. Its time to forget about the past. In this line Winston is forced to forget about his past memories when he is being tortured by O'Brien. and believe his past is a lie or continue to be tortured. Hide behind an empty face. This line could refer to near the beginning where Winston had to constantly hide behind an empty face in order to survive his life.
