Float Through Me
Hit the Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know where I've been
Last thing I remember an accident
Passed through your hands
My feet become anchors where I stand
You just float through me
Am I a ghost or am I just something new
Am I a ghost?
Is heaven just make believe?
'Cause you're always out of reach
My body's gone but my soul it still remains
Can't sleep
Still I dream that you call my name
I sing to you
Every night, I swear I do
You just float through me
Am I a ghost or am I just something new
That you see right through
Am I a ghost?
Is heaven just make believe?
'Cause you're always out of reach
Sing under your floor boards late at night
Drift into the morning light
Just float through me
Float through me
Float through me
Am I a ghost or am I just something new
That you see right through
Am I a ghost?
Is heaven just make believe?
'Cause you're always out of reach
Am I a ghost or am I just something new?
Am I a ghost?
Am I a ghost?
Am I a ghost?
Is heaven not meant for me?
'Cause you're always out of reach
The lyrics to "Float Through Me" by Hit the Lights tell a story of detachment and confusion. The singer awakens in a new and unfamiliar place, unsure of where they have been or how they got there. The only thing they can remember is an accident that passed through someone else's hands. They feel disconnected and anchored to the spot, while someone else floats through them.
The chorus repeats the question, "Am I a ghost or am I just something new?" The singer wonders if they have become something different, something not quite human, through their experiences. They express frustration with feeling out of reach and unable to connect with the other person. They question if heaven is just a fantasy because it seems impossible for them to attain.
The bridge adds a layer of poeticism to the lyrics, as the singer sings of singing to the person every night, calling their name into the void. They wonder if they are just a ghostly voice beneath the floorboards, drifting through the morning light.
The overall feeling conveyed by the lyrics is one of confusion and isolation. The singer doesn't quite know where they belong, and feels cut off from those around them. The repetition of the chorus creates a haunting effect, as if the singer is still searching for the answer to their question long after the song has ended.

I awake out of place
Waking up without knowing where you are
Don't know where I've been
Having no memory of your past
Last thing I remember an accident
The last thing remembered is an accident
Passed through your hands
Being handled by someone else
My feet become anchors where I stand
Feeling stuck in one place
You just float through me
Feeling disconnected from someone who used to be close
Am I a ghost or am I just something new
Questioning one's identity and self-worth
That you see right through
Feeling transparent and unseen
Is heaven just make believe?
Questioning the existence of an afterlife
'Cause you're always out of reach
Feeling like someone you care about is unattainable
My body's gone but my soul it still remains
Feeling disconnected from one's physical body
Can't sleep
Experiencing insomnia
Still I dream that you call my name
Dreaming about someone you miss
I sing to you
Expressing love and longing for someone
Every night, I swear I do
Consistently thinking about and missing someone
Sing under your floor boards late at night
Singing to someone who can't hear you
Drift into the morning light
Thinking and longing for someone into the morning
Just float through me
Feeling like someone is only passing by and not staying
Am I a ghost or am I just something new?
Continuing to question one's identity and self-worth
Is heaven not meant for me?
Feeling like you don't belong or deserve good things

Well, the lead singer used to be one of the guitarists until they're old singer left the band.

The question wasnt whether Nirvana would be better, which is definite because the Foo Fighters are infinitely superior. I'm not saying they control all the music, but obviously the lead singer who writes the songs is going to have a much bigger say in the sound than any other person in the band.There is a clear difference between the old singers lyrics and style from the new one, namely that both style and lyrics are better.
