The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Float" by the artist "Thomston"

Contents

The lyrics of Thomston's "Float" are a metaphor for a relationship where the narrator tries to "save" his lover from her problems, symbolized by her surname that "trapped" her. He believes he knows how to help her and tries to "take her to the depth," to get her out of her comfort zone and change.

At the beginning of the relationship, everything seems idyllic: they "run, walk, crawl, lie, swim," try new things and become closer. The narrator believes that he is doing the "best" for her, "leading her to the depth," but does not notice that his actions do not bring her joy.

The phrase "she could just float to the surface like me" shows that the narrator has the illusion that they are the same, that his methods will work for her too. He holds her "hand," controls her, not giving her the opportunity to cope with difficulties and "float" on her own.

Kisses through a "one-way mirror" symbolize the one-sidedness of the relationship. He sees only his reflection in her eyes, not noticing her true feelings. She "looks at her reflection," sees how she changes, "falls apart" under his influence.

In the end, the narrator realizes that he is hurting her. He realizes that his actions were wrong and is now trying to fix the situation, "show her how to get back to the top."

She was landlocked with her family name

By the time that I got there

She was in a state

I took her places, it took adjustment

Just being wanted

And we ran before we walked before we crawled before we lay

Swam before she learnt, before she'd even seen the waves

I want the best and nothing less, I led her out so far

Took her deep and let the water have its way

I had her hand

And everything was good

She could float just like I could

(she could float just like I could)

On our backs

And everything was gold

Should've never let her go

I knew she couldn't float on her own

Closed-eye kisses through one-way glass

She watched her reflection

I watched her fall apart

She got sicker, she never breathed

The air like me

Now she's wounded and it's my fault

She had always been so careful

On my sonar, at the bottom

I will show her to the surface again
