Floater's regional success was noticed by Elemental Records, who put out their first full-length record, "Sink" in 1994. That same year Floater began a string of sold out shows at the Community Center for the Performing Arts (The WOW Hall) that is still unbroken to this day.
In 1995 Floater released "Glyph" and toured the country for the next two years supporting the record. The single, "Danny Boy" received heavy college and commercial radio play, in many cities outselling major label releases. Floater received nominations to the preliminary level of the Grammy's from NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences) in 1995 under Best Rock Performance for "Sink" and in 1996 under Best Alternative Performance for "Glyph." (Prelims are determined by nominations from the NARAS members).
In 1998, following their move to Portland, Oregon (where the band currently resides), Floater released their third full-length record, "Angels in the Flesh and Devils in the Bone." The second concept album by the band ("Sink" was the first), "Angel's" brought a new vibe to Floater. It wasn't long before widespread audiences came to embrace what has now become the band's trademark - their versatility.
September of 2000 brought the release of Floater's fourth full- length record, "Burning Sosobra"; a musical collection that explores the band's broad range of song writing. Following its release, the band began to perform live acoustically. Both the band and the fans enjoyed this new avenue of performance that allowed the "quieter" side of Floater to emerge and be explored. Of late, the band has begun playing shows where acoustic Floater opens for electric Floater - giving a sort of Jekyll and Hyde feel to their performances.
In 2002 Floater released their most critically acclaimed record to date, "Alter." Combining the bands strongest musical elements, "Alter" moves fluidly from heavy riffs to lullabies and tells flowing stories of fear, love and above all change.
August of 2004 - The release of the band's acoustic record, "Acoustics." Fans of Floater's electric shows responded with enthusiasm to the band's occasional acoustic performance - with their record label's encouragement, the band put together a uniquely recorded album - one that mimics the sound of their actual performances. Recorded in a studio built in the ballroom of their producers house, the record was made without digital editing and has a fresh, live feeling.
Floater is also the name of a late nineties indiepop band from Sheffield, UK. They briefly rename themselves Floater UK before later reforming as Dangerlust.
Crawl Into You
Floater Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna crawl into you.
Deep into you.
Take up my hands,
Spread you in two,
See through your eyes.
Make all your fears come true.
Under your flesh, shivering there,
I'm gonna crawl into you.
The lyrics of "Crawl Into You" by Floater are dark and introspective, delving into the singer's desire to fully enter and consume another person. The first line, "Down comes the day," sets the tone for the song as one of darkness and impending nightfall. The following line, "I'm gonna crawl into you," is a powerful statement of intimacy and possession, suggesting that the singer wants to become a part of the person they're addressing.
The lines "Take up my hands, spread you in two, see through your eyes" suggest a desire to fully experience the other person's perspective, to enter their body and mind in order to understand them completely. But this desire is rooted in a darker impulse, as the lines "Make all your fears come true, under your flesh, shivering there, feel your lies" suggest a desire to use that understanding not to connect with the other person, but to manipulate them and expose their vulnerabilities.
Overall, "Crawl Into You" is a hauntingly beautiful song that explores the conflicting desires for intimacy and control that can exist within human relationships, and the dark places those desires can lead us.
