Project similar to the Dragon Lady project I've uploaded, but based on a different idea.
I've been obsessed with a song called "Dissolve Me" by Alt-J for months. It inspired me to make this poster, even though the meaning of the song is slightly different from what I've chosen to depict here. The song is whimsical, dream-like, and a little trance-y. I sometimes interpreted the lyrics as a man's experience slipping away into sleep, recalling the lullaby his mother sang to him as a child.
White lines and text are by my hand. The illustration of the girl is not mine; thank you to its creator.
"Now dissolve me, two tabs on your tongue
A herd of shepherds to herd the sheep, sleep now my only one
Broken sweethearts who sleep apart
Both still pine for the other's side spine, spoon as sleep starts
And pulse to pulse, now shush
She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes to calm me down
I am see-through, soap sliver you're so thin
As I begin rubbing lathers up your state worsens on my skin
And gold, fatless finger to lip, one two three four hush
And pulse to pulse, now shush
She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes to calm me down
She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes. I'm tired now
Oooooh [x4]
She makes the sound the sea makes, knee-deep in the North Sea [8x]"
A herd of shepherds to herd the sheep, sleep now my only one
Broken sweethearts who sleep apart
Both still pine for the other's side spine, spoon as sleep starts
And pulse to pulse, now shush
She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes to calm me down
I am see-through, soap sliver you're so thin
As I begin rubbing lathers up your state worsens on my skin
And gold, fatless finger to lip, one two three four hush
And pulse to pulse, now shush
She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes to calm me down
She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes. I'm tired now
Oooooh [x4]
She makes the sound the sea makes, knee-deep in the North Sea [8x]"
