the ocean's electric will you marry it? 

and fill it with the things you'll miss? 

we're waiting and waiting to come. 

i don't necessarily know if anyone will think this pertains to the future but i see it like that. it seems nostalgic yet optimistic in a slightly cynical way. its a collection of lyrics from a trio that cares more about what they say than how they seem to others. i explained it in the underlying layers of my illustrator project, but the ocean, to me, is a passageway to new worlds and new lives (metaphorically speaking of course) . it's as if you're caught in a wave; you forget about breathing and just let the wave take you wherever its going. it's only after you regain your balance that you realize the severity of the situation. but for an instant, the tranquility opens you up and lets you breathe, without the physical action. i don't want a set future. 

i want to go wherever the circumstances may lead me. 

the second line is a reminder that we all come from somewhere and we carry little bits of that along with us even if we aren't aware of it. i want to remember what made me the way i am, for the most part, and bring in new experiences as well.
