Float
J. Peach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Momma told me
She said there's always somethin to live for
Just keep goin
Then you'll learn your purpose on this earth boy
Well
It's hard to hear her while I'm passed out
I'm on the hard floor dreaming about a penthouse
It's got the Milky Way and bitch I want it in my mouth
Hennything is possible if you just see it out
My confidence on Johnny Bravo come and test me now
I had the rope, wanted to see if it could hold me down
But I moved on that is no longer my rationale
So what the fuck am I supposed to do now that I'm out
I'm used to tears and thunderstorms
I felt like I would drown
Thought about gettin baptized again
Because recently I've been lookin back on all of my sins
All of the things I've said
Things y'all will never hear
Because it don't sit right
Somehow it's turned into fear
Fear that God don't love me
Even though I know he does
Fear that the devil is smiling
Because he smoked me up
I'm really done with the weed
Because it turns me insane
Been hurting my family
Don't wanna see them in pain
No more
No more
I might still sip a little but I don't wanna end up
On the floor
Like who is this
Damn that's not me
I know I'm sick
But it will not kill me
It was always some kinda rock to tie my string around
It was there or a hard place where I was usually found
Let it sink to the bottom watch the surface from the ground
I'm in the raft my sad underwater compound
But I stuck with the current and I'm fully unbound
Now I'm seeing for the first time what life's really about
As I rise I see the beauty in the fish crowd
I can't fully soar but one day I'll rest upon the clouds
I'm on the surface
The sky is perfect
The sun is setting
The waves is calm
I'm pushed along
This feels like heaven
This could be it and we ain't know
We was too busy fretting
Fuck it, it is what it is
I'm just gon keep it pressing
Honestly I'm happy with my circle cause I'm swimming
Word to Mac I take it day by day I'm gon keep thriving
I got no faith but if it's true I hope there's peace in it
It's good to know if life's a dream one day I'll wake up smiling
You're okay
It's all right
You're doing fine
Just don't float too soon (Let my balloons go now I'm free)
Don't float too soon
We're not balloons (I can't say I'll make it but we'll see)
We're not balloons
We wanna see you again (Let my balloons go now I'm free)
Me, scope and all of your friends (I can't say I'll make it but we'll see)
I said we wanna see you again (Let my balloons go now I'm free)
Me, scope and all of your friends (I can't say I'll make it but we'll see)
Let my balloons go now I'm free
I can't say I'll make it but we'll see
Is this what it feels like
The lyrics to J. Peach's song "Float" depict the struggles and inner thoughts of the artist, as well as their journey towards finding purpose and happiness.
The opening lines highlight the advice and guidance given by the artist's mother, emphasizing the importance of continuing to strive for something in life. However, the artist is often disconnected from these words of wisdom due to their struggles with substance abuse, as indicated by lines such as "I'm on the hard floor dreaming about a penthouse" and "The liquor love got me seeing stars under its blouse." They long for a sense of confidence and a better future, expressing a desire to overcome their self-destructive tendencies.
The mention of tears and thunderstorms represents the emotional turmoil the artist has experienced, leading them to contemplate seeking redemption through baptism and reflecting on their past mistakes. They confess to having said things they'll never share, which has now turned into fear. There is a fear of not being loved by God and the idea that the devil may be rejoicing in their struggles. The artist acknowledges that they want to break free from their dependency on weed, recognizing the harm it has caused to themselves and their family.
In the second verse, the artist employs metaphors to describe their journey. They liken their existence to being caught between a rock and a hard place, using a rock as a symbol of something that keeps them tied down. However, they let go and surrender to the current, finding freedom and a new perspective on life. Rising to the surface, they finally see the beauty around them, symbolized by the underwater world. The artist expresses hope for a future where they can fully soar and find peace.
The final verse reveals a sense of contentment with the artist's current circumstances and the people in their life. They embrace a day-by-day mindset, focusing on personal growth and thriving. Although they may have lost faith, they express a desire for peace and to wake up smiling when their life is revealed to be nothing more than a dream. The lyrics also acknowledge the support of friends, indicating that they want to see the artist happy again.
Overall, the song showcases the artist's struggles, self-discovery, and pursuit of happiness. It touches on themes of addiction, self-reflection, and finding peace through embracing the present moment and the people around them.

Introduction to the song
Momma told me
My mother gave me advice
She said there's always somethin to live for
She emphasized the importance of finding purpose in life
Just keep goin
She encouraged me to persevere
Then you'll learn your purpose on this earth boy
Eventually, I will understand my purpose in life
Well
Transition to personal struggle
It's hard to hear her while I'm passed out
I struggle to listen to her advice while I'm unconscious
I'm on the hard floor dreaming about a penthouse
I fantasize about a luxurious lifestyle while lying on the cold floor
The liquor love got me seeing stars under its blouse
Alcohol intoxication makes me see imaginary stars
It's got the Milky Way and bitch I want it in my mouth
Drinking makes me desire the feeling of being the center of the universe
Hennything is possible if you just see it out
Alcohol can make you believe in limitless possibilities
My confidence on Johnny Bravo come and test me now
I feel extremely confident, like the fictional character Johnny Bravo
I had the rope, wanted to see if it could hold me down
I contemplated suicide to test the strength of the rope
But I moved on that is no longer my rationale
I have moved on from that mindset
So what the fuck am I supposed to do now that I'm out
I am confused about what to do now that I have overcome suicidal thoughts
I'm used to tears and thunderstorms
I am accustomed to sadness and turmoil
I felt like I would drown
I have felt overwhelmed by my emotions
Thought about gettin baptized again
I contemplated seeking spiritual cleansing
Because recently I've been lookin back on all of my sins
I have been reflecting on the mistakes I have made
All of the things I've said
All the words I have spoken
Things y'all will never hear
Things that will never be revealed to others
Because it don't sit right
Because it doesn't feel right
Somehow it's turned into fear
Somehow it has transformed into fear
Fear that God don't love me
Fear that God doesn't love me
Even though I know he does
Although I am aware of His love
Fear that the devil is smiling
Fear that the devil takes pleasure in my struggles
Because he smoked me up
Because he influenced and deceived me
I'm really done with the weed
I have decided to quit using drugs
Because it turns me insane
Because it has negative effects on my mental state
Been hurting my family
It has been causing harm to my loved ones
Don't wanna see them in pain
I don't want to witness their suffering
No more
I have made a firm decision to stop
I might still sip a little but I don't wanna end up
I might occasionally drink, but I don't want to reach a point where
On the floor
I am metaphorically and literally broken
Like who is this
Questioning my own identity
Damn that's not me
Expressing disbelief about my past actions
I know I'm sick
Acknowledging my own mental health issues
But it will not kill me
Believing that my struggles won't be the end of me
It was always some kinda rock to tie my string around
There was always a difficult obstacle that held me down
It was there or a hard place where I was usually found
I was often caught between a rock and a hard place
Let it sink to the bottom watch the surface from the ground
Allow it to sink down while observing the surface from below
I'm in the raft my sad underwater compound
I am in a metaphorical raft, isolated and submerged in sadness
But I stuck with the current and I'm fully unbound
I continued to follow the flow and now feel completely liberated
Now I'm seeing for the first time what life's really about
I am gaining a new perspective on the true meaning of life
As I rise I see the beauty in the fish crowd
As I improve, I appreciate the beauty in the world around me
I can't fully soar but one day I'll rest upon the clouds
Although I can't reach my full potential yet, I have hope for the future
I'm on the surface
I have successfully risen above my struggles
The sky is perfect
The sky represents a serene and ideal state
The sun is setting
Symbolizing the end of troubled times and a new beginning
The waves is calm
The waves are calm, indicating a peaceful environment
I'm pushed along
I am carried forward by the current of life
This feels like heaven
I experience bliss and contentment
This could be it and we ain't know
This could be the ultimate happiness we have been seeking, and we didn't realize it
We was too busy fretting
We were too preoccupied with worries and anxieties
Fuck it, it is what it is
Accepting the current situation as it is
I'm just gon keep it pressing
I will continue moving forward
Honestly I'm happy with my circle cause I'm swimming
I find happiness in my close group of friends as I navigate life
Word to Mac I take it day by day I'm gon keep thriving
Inspired by Mac (presumably Mac Miller), I focus on taking life one day at a time and continue to strive for better
I got no faith but if it's true I hope there's peace in it
Although I lack faith, if there is an afterlife, I hope it brings peace
It's good to know if life's a dream one day I'll wake up smiling
Finding comfort in the idea that if life is an illusion, I will eventually wake up with happiness
You're okay
Assurance that the listener is doing well
It's all right
Reiterating that everything is fine
You're doing fine
Affirming that the listener is coping well
Just don't float too soon (Let my balloons go now I'm free)
Advising to take time before moving on from struggles
Don't float too soon
Cautioning against rushing towards change
We're not balloons (I can't say I'll make it but we'll see)
Emphasizing that we are not meant to simply drift away from our problems
We're not balloons
Highlighting that we have the ability to actively navigate our lives
We wanna see you again (Let my balloons go now I'm free)
Expressing the desire to witness the listener's growth and happiness
Me, scope and all of your friends (I can't say I'll make it but we'll see)
Including myself, scope, and all your friends, we hope for the best
I said we wanna see you again (Let my balloons go now I'm free)
Reiterating the desire to witness the listener's progress and joy
Me, scope and all of your friends (I can't say I'll make it but we'll see)
Including myself, scope, and all your friends, we hope for the best
Let my balloons go now I'm free
Releasing the metaphorical burdens and finding freedom
I can't say I'll make it but we'll see
Uncertainty about the future, but holding onto hope
Is this what it feels like
Questioning and seeking confirmation about the newfound experience

@e018
0:29 - Is like... almost all of the explanation of what float cancelling actually is like, accidentally skipped ?????? It jumps from
"It's peach exclusive" to "For comparison drill has 9 frames of landing lag"
@absolutelynathan2453
Yeah i'll be honest, in retrospect this isn't really all that good of a video. Hopefully once I get more time I'll be able to actually make a peach tutorial that I can showcase.
