- 1. The couple holding hands are a reminder to him of what he is being blinded from and missing out on. He is watching himself and what his life could have been if he wasnt constantly worrying about how long he has left and he started living for the moment. I believe the 3 events (Wedding, The image is of a busy zebra crossing, with all different types of people walking past the man hospital and death) represent 3 trapped in an hourglass. Theyre ignoring him things the band have been through and just carrying on with their own life and could not control. representing that life goes on.

- 2. 3. 1. 2. There always has been a man pictured in the middle of the album covers, this gives a familiar face that people can identify, making them feel they know the band personally. Whether it is the same man or not is a mystery. To the right is an edit to where you can see the men all in line. Throughout the albums each man and its surroundings describes a different story, the 1st (in the top right corner) looks as if it is a man in the army sat down in front of a type writer. From this I believe that the lead singer found it a battle to be able to write down the lyrics, maybe there were a lot of his beliefs and feeling portrayed and with a struggle of time and life getting time own his own was hard for him. There are also different words on the board in front, none that I can make out, these could be thoughts and that because theyre unreadable and in a mess it shows where his head was at. With the second - Album I believe they have moved onto more of a fight and a struggle to get where they want to be, this is shown by the baseball bat, but at the same time with the baseball hidden behind the man it isnt about the action but about the thought. In his other hand are some chains (I think). They may have anangrier take on this album having a man with a corrupt mind that will do bad things to get what he wants, Id hope this isnt a reflect on the band. The 3rd album shows a silhouette on his knees, he looks as if he is shouting out. There are random sign posts pointing in all matters of directions to indicate this man is very lost, surrounding him are 100s of vines and animals closing in on him showing that he is also trapped that, but out of all of that, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, showing there is a chance, and that hope exists. The link with his artwork is even when you think everyone/thing is trying to get at you and you feel trapped and lost in your surroundings, that space of freedom and hope will be there, and its about getting to that place. Lastly with album 4, its a man trapped inside an hourglass which is slowly filling up. Everyone is walking by and just carrying on with their daily lives not paying attention to the man fading away. This man is trapped in constantly thinking about time then just living for what it is, this is keeping him down and slowly ruining his life. This is a lesson that can be taught to everyone. The design for the album is very different throughout but the stories are all feelings everyone knows.
