It's a man with a cloud for a head rowing a boat with a lightning bolt and speaking rain.

I always thought it was about the type of person who doesn't know when to shut up and ends up making things worse for themself. Hence the speech bubble with rain and "Sink Yourself".

It's about saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, leaving yourself stranded in a bad situation.

It kind of reminds me of the Brand New lyrics:



"Your tongue is a rudder

It steers the whole ship

Sends your words past your lips

Or keeps them safe behind your teeth

But the wrong words will strand you

Come off course while you sleep

Sweep your boat out to sea

Or dashed to bits on the reef"





And it can also be seen as an optimism / pessimism thing: if you're continually in a bad mood and there's only "rain" in your mind, then you will actually "sink yourself".



Anyways, really cool design, will surely buy this once I got enough money again one day ;)

I enjoy that song. Good interpretation.
