Reflect
Hands Like Houses Lyrics


And I can't explain enough
And I won't let it last the night
I'll show you that the image
Is still there unseen

We get in our way
We're tripping on our feet
Filling up our heads too much
With words too hard to speak
Drowning in a place
Where the night cannot escape
Commit ourselves into the depths
Exposed against the page

Caught in a phrase an echo in our minds
A flash, a flood
And it's burned into our eyes

And I can't explain enough
And I won't let it last the night
I'll show you that the image
Is still there unseen
It's darkest before the light
If we shut our eyes to see
The things that we have lost
Inside the lines between

Between the black and white
Where everything goes grey
And everything's unsaid, undone
And the negative bleeds away
To reveal the memory
That we waited so long for
The image shifts, the acid drips
Down the paper to the floor

Caught in a phrase an echo in our minds
A flash, a flood
And it's burned into our eyes

And I can't explain enough
And I won't let it last the night
I'll show you that the image
Is still there unseen
It's darkest before the light
And if we shut our eyes to see
The things that we have lost
Inside the lines between

We're so nervous to see
If we've let too much in if we
If we were out of focus or out of frame
And I know it's a moment of truth
If a recollection reflects reality
Or if it's lost forever

And I can't explain enough
And I won't let it last the night
I'll show you that the image
Is still there unseen
It's darkest before the light
And if we shut our eyes to see
The things that we have lost
Inside the lines between

And I can't explain enough
And I won't let it last
The image is still there unseen

@Oh_its_Mike

+Jackson Pickens Its not so hard to write emotional, meaningful lyrics for me.  The hard part is coming up with the melodies and the actual delivery of the vocals for me.

"Developments is based around the idea of a photographic darkroom—it takes darkness and careful treatment to develop an image. In the same way I feel like dark times, and the patience and optimism to see them through, are the only way we can retain memories and learn from our experiences. For me it's a justification of difficult times as perspective to better understand and appreciate our present as part of a whole."

That's the meaning they gave. So, i'm guessing the pictures have to do with the "photographic darkroom" and all of that.
