Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker compares their entire life to a dark-room, a place associated both with darkness and with developing photographs. The exaggerated scale gives the line its gloomy humour. A whole existence is pictured through one enclosed, dim space rather than through varied or brighter experiences.
