Sure the camera "steals the soul" is relevant. But if you tie it in with the Reflektor idea of social media overload, then it's angled more at how people bare their souls all the time now.
People didn't used to photodocument every night out, every dinner party, every lunch. Now it's selfies and airing all your dirty laundry in public. Hence "What if the camera / Really do / Take your soul" and "You know I got nothing to hide".
Followed up with "You know I got nothing" because most of what people document is utterly, utterly banal.
The title "Flashbulb eyes" makes me think of two things: one is that "trout-pout" look that high street fashionistas effect whenever within 2 metres of a finger poised over an iPhone screeen.
The other is those red-eye pictures you get, which people often joke makes the subject in the picture look demonic.
So what I get from this is, "are we all vain, self-obsessed demons, or empty shells"?
