about

This album hilights how in Moby Dick, the White Whale drives captain Ahab to insanity, and his whole crew dies except for Ishmael. This monomania is a disease that kills people. The White Whale is a representation of the Green Light and the dream in American culture, as well as the insanity that manifests from the pursuing of this dream and the deaths that take place because of it.

This album hilights a cure to the disease, showing that there is no success in the monomanic pursuing of an impossible dream.

The moment Ahab throws his pipe into the ocean at the beginning of the novel is the moment he has sacrificed his pleasure and humanity for the pursuance of a mythical creature, similar to a unicorn.

The solution to anyone who wants to pursue a monomanic dream is to never step on their ship, and stay at home and enjoy the edge of the sea with whatever pleasure you want.
