Floating
Julee Cruise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I burst in flame and burned
I'm floating
Love has set our hearts aflame
Burn like the sun
We're floating as one...
Floating
Floating
Floating with you.
Ever since you kissed my eyes
I find myself alive
I'm floating
Ever since I held your face
I soar through space,
I'm floating with you...
Floating
Floating
Floating with you.
(spoken)
Why don't you come over to my house?
Please...
Love has set our hearts aflame
Burn like the sun
We're floating as one...
Floating
Floating
Floating with you.
In the song "Floating" by Julee Cruise, she describes the feeling of being in love as floating. The lyrics convey the idea that when she heard her lover's secret name, she burst into flames and burned, perhaps as a metaphor for feeling overwhelmed with passion. The repetition of the word "floating" throughout the song emphasizes the feeling of being weightless and free.
Cruise's description of being in love is vivid and intense. The lines "Love has set our hearts aflame, Burn like the sun," suggest the passion and heat that comes with falling in love. The use of the word "aflame" is particularly powerful, as it evokes both the intensity of the experience and the idea of being consumed by it.
The song also has a dream-like quality to it, with its ethereal music and Cruise's otherworldly vocals. The lines "Ever since you kissed my eyes, I find myself alive," and "Ever since I held your face, I soar through space," suggest the idea of being transported to another world through love. The image of soaring through space is particularly powerful, as it conveys both the feeling of weightlessness and the idea of exploring uncharted territory.
Overall, "Floating" is a beautiful and poetic tribute to the power of love.
