Artist's original text (angie-117): 当潮汐漫过月光铺就的航道
贝壳里沉睡的瞳孔悄然苏醒
在母贝的褶皱里
封印着七个未能唱完的潮汐挽歌
以永恒转动的瞳孔
提醒陆生族群
我们曾在暴风雨中如何蒙住双眼选择耳聋

English translation: When the tide washes over a path laid by moonlight
The pupil sleeping inside the shell quietly awakens
In the folds of mother-of-pearl
Seven tidal laments that could not be sung to the end lie sealed away
With a pupil turning eternally
It reminds the land-dwelling peoples
How, in the storm, we once chose to cover our eyes and turn deaf
