Pinhole Cameras Lyrics

I've seen this city through the eyes of pin hole cameras
Shadows grey and upside down
I've seen these streets strech like slides in panorama
Vanish into darkness on the edge of town

It makes me sorry
My pin hole camera
These photographs
Reveal no answers

I've walked the allleys with my camera in my pockets
I've stopped to watch the sun set, Ladybird Lake, Austin
I've captured moments, paces, faces lost and empty
I've seen them starving, living in this land of plenty

It makes me sorry
My pin hole camera
These photographs
Reveal no answers

I've traced the lines of broken prayers on empty spaces
Recorded time in strange and cryptic wire transmissions
Postponed the days I felt fit to reveal the deception
Does deception reveal itself?

It makes me sorry
My pin hole camera
These photographs
Reveal no answers

I've kept the world a secret in my instamatic
I've captured history upside down
Taken light from others heedless of the vision
Lost memories to anger in a split decision

It makes me sorry
The world of cameras
Our photographs
Reveal no answers

Mistakes And Regrets

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
