"On the way home I held your camera like a bible, wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth. And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room, you dropped the paper in the water and it all begins to bloom. Yeah, they go wild"
This song seems to take place over the course of one day. He wakes up when the alarm sounds. Then, he is walking with someone to a place in an inner city. whatever this place is, there are barricades to keep everything orderly. what ends up happening instead of order is chaos and everyone going wild. this sounds like a new york city protest.

then, he and this other person decide to leave before it is completely over, or before the location's original order is restored. many people believe that their bible holds the ultimate truth, whatever that truth is....
then, he and this other person decide to leave before it is completely over, or before the location's original order is restored. many people believe that their bible holds the ultimate truth, whatever that truth is. The speaker of this poem hopes his ultimate truth is displayed on the film of the camera. Many times you protest because you strongly believe in something, and whatever you are defending, you will defend it as if it is your religion. --Then the other person puts the unprocessed photo paper in the liquid that processes photos and he uses a metaphor to suggest that the photos come to life, open, appear, and he is reliving that moment of what he saw at the protest because that is what is on the developed film.
the last stanza is alluding to new york city where protests are held daily and depending on where you stand, all you see is a wall of televisions and that is a simile for the hillside of flowers. This is where we find out that he is referring to a past memory. he says he is lonely to suggest he is no longer in the big city but in some sort of rural area looking at flowers on a hill, and these wild flowers remind him of that day in new york when everyone was going wild.
