Mick explained the concept of this tape on his Oyster Magazine interview. Water is a direct metaphor for the truth, [which is] just as important as water is to the world, to our lives, to our well-being. By truth I mean the true nature of things like beauty, success and wealth—what those things really are as opposed to what the media pushes and would lead us to believe that those things are. What the world standard for beauty is as opposed to the fact that beauty is everywhere—we’re all God’s creations and we’re all beautiful, and that’s the real truth. So when I say drink more water, when I say I’ve been in these waters, when I reference water like that, it’s really synonymous with saying, “Learn more things, gain more knowledge and seek more truth.” That’s just the basic synopsis of The Water[s]: an introduction to this water or to this truth. Fun Fact: Mick made sure to drop The Water[s] and Wave[s] on rainy days.
