Float
Biv Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Equal
So we walk
And if we fly
And all was fine
By night
Inside
In the fall
In this fight
Oh I
Surprised
To watch you fall
To his eyes
Survive
For mine
My own dissolve
That's all I want

But I
Never dreamed
Of all that's taught
And memories
And it's just us
Fuck what they think
Do you love me dear
Without my wings

At the end of the day
It's crawling away
My home, it was gone

Leave dear
I won't watch you
Fight you
Leave dear
I won't watch you
Fight you

Am I safe
Saw my hate
Saw it break
It's ok
I'm just in the way




I shouldn't of stayed
I'm just in the way

Overall Meaning

In Biv's song "Float", the lyrics convey a struggle of letting go and moving on, and the difficulty of personal transformation. The opening line "Equal" suggests a desire for balance and fairness. The following lines, "So we walk / And if we fly / And all was fine / By night / Inside", convey a sense of contentment with where they are, but also uncertainty of what's to come. The mention of "night" adds a layer of darkness and mystery to the overall mood of the song.


"In the fall / In this fight / Oh I / Surprised / To watch you fall / To his eyes / Survive / For mine /My own dissolve / That's all I want" could be interpreted as a reference to a relationship that has ended, where the singer is surprised to see the other person fall for someone else. "Survive for mine" suggests a personal struggle for survival and growth, while "My own dissolve / That's all I want" may refer to a desire for self-discovery and letting go of past hurts.


"But I / Never dreamed / Of all that's taught / And memories / And it's just us / Fuck what they think / Do you love me dear / Without my wings" is a reflection on the lessons learned and memories made through the ups and downs of life. "It's just us / Fuck what they think" implies a disregard for societal norms and expectations. The line "Do you love me dear / Without my wings" may suggest a fear of being rejected or unloved for one's true self without any external validation or attributes.


"Leave dear / I won't watch you / Fight you / Leave dear / I won't watch you / Fight you" could represent the internal struggle of holding onto someone who wants to leave, but ultimately choosing to let go and move on. "Am I safe / Saw my hate / Saw it break / It's ok / I'm just in the way / I shouldn't of stayed / I'm just in the way" is a reflection on the singer's own insecurities and self-doubt, and questioning their existence and purpose in relation to others.
