I saw the cover of Incubus's Monuments and Melodies album again today. I've seen it loads of times but never really gave it much thought.
This time I visually dissected it.
It shows a person reaching for the light on a huge lantern fish, its mouth opened ready to swallow the person.
It made me think...
We all have goals... aspirations... dreams we want to see come to fruition. This person actually reached for his (touching a light with a dangerous fate imminent) and it will probably cost him his life.
A depressing thought to be sure. Yet in that single moment... seconds before the fish swallows him up... what if he did touch the light? The emotions of accomplishment, reaching for the impossible and actually attaining it...
That's what I want to feel.
Minus the giant lantern fish.
