I don't know how new this is but I think it's pretty recent?
Anyways, I searched if it was a link to something and it must have something to do with T.S. Elliot's poem called "Burnt Norton", it's the first one out of his 'Four Quartets'.
This is the full part where the sentence appears :
Quote:
“And the bird called, in response to
The unheard music hidden in the the shrubbery,
And the unseen eyebeam crossed, for the roses
Had the look of flowers that are looked at.”

The meaning of the poem :
Quote:
Burnt Norton is the first poem of T. S. Eliot's Four Quartets. He created it while working on his play Murder in the Cathedral and it was first published in his Collected Poems 1909–1935 (1936). The poem's title refers to a Cotswolds manor house Eliot visited. The manor's garden served as an important image within the poem. Structurally, the poem is based on Eliot's The Waste Land with passages of the poem related to those excised from Murder in the Cathedral.
The central discussion within the poem is on the nature of time and salvation. Eliot emphasises the need of the individual to focus on the present moment and to know that there is a universal order. By understanding the nature of time and the order of the universe, mankind is able to recognise God and seek redemption. Many reviewers of Burnt Norton focused on the uniqueness and beauty of the poem. However, others complained that the poem does not reflect Eliot's earlier greatness and that the use of Christian themes harmed the poem.

The last bolded part could def. mean something for the album's concept.
But what do you think, new lyrics or is the poem a hint to the new single/album?
