What to Do
FLOORS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I run, I think
Of what I am supposed to do with my life
With my time, with my music
Is there anyone who cares about my songs?
And I say

Even if I try real hard and go
Chase my dream and play on my guitar
Is there any reason now?
Or anybody listening now?

Every day I'll try
Even if there is no reason why
I'll make it up, is that stupid?
Trying to win this war inside my head

And I sing

Friends will lie to me
That's what I think in my head
I will be betrayed
That's what I think in my head




I will be alone
That's what I think in my head

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Floors and Walls's song "What To Do" convey a sense of introspection and uncertainty about the path of the singer's life and their artistic pursuits. The opening lines suggest a contemplative state while running, using this physical activity as a metaphor for seeking direction and purpose.

The underlying theme seems to revolve around doubt and the fear of being unheard or overlooked.


However, despite the doubts, the singer expresses their determination to keep trying and pushing forward. They acknowledge that there may not be a clear reason why they should persist, but they refuse to let that deter them. They acknowledge the war happening inside their own head, possibly referencing the inner battles and self-doubt that often come with pursuing a creative career.


The second part of the song delves into the singer's thoughts about friendships and betrayal. They reveal a deep mistrust and fear of being lied to, betrayed, and ultimately ending up alone. These thoughts may stem from personal experiences or anxieties, adding another layer of emotional complexity to the song.


In summary, "What To Do" by Floors and Walls captures the artist's inner struggle to find meaning and validation in their music, while also battling feelings of doubt, mistrust, and loneliness. It is a raw and introspective exploration of the challenges and fears that can arise when pursuing a creative calling.
