Keep My Head Afloat
Jeremy Zucker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Really couldn't say that I know your type
Yeah
30,000 feet and I'm so damn high
Ohh
[Chorus]
Are you excited
And if you hold me
I won't mind it
And I don't know you
But I want to
And if this plane fell to the water I'm OK
We'll ride the waves of the ocean
Wasting all of our days
We could roll with the motion
It could all float away
All these feels in the open
Reasons I've been afraid
Knowing I won't drown if I keep my head afloat
I'ma keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
The sun won't shine if you're terrified
Yeah
It's all the same when you close your eyes
Ohh
Are you excited
Do you like it
And if you hold me
I won't mind it
And I don't know you
But I want to
And if this plane fell to the water I'm OK
We'll ride the waves of the ocean
Wasting all of our days
We could roll like the motion
It could all float away
All these feels in the open
Reasons I've been afraid
Knowing I won't drown if I keep my head afloat
I'ma keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat

Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat

Keep my head afloat
Keep my head afloat

The lyrics of Jeremy Zucker's song "Keep My Head Afloat" seem to be about letting go of fear and opening up to new experiences, even if they are scary or unknown. The first verse acknowledges that the singer does not know the person he is addressing, but is curious about them nonetheless. He knows that he is high up in the air, but he is unafraid. In the chorus, he asks the person if they are excited about what's to come and if they like what they're experiencing. He tells them that he doesn't know them but wants to, and that if the plane were to fall into the water, he would be okay because he knows how to keep his head afloat. The line "We could roll with the motion, it could all float away" suggests a willingness to go with the flow and accept whatever may come.
The second verse talks about how things are the same whether you have your eyes open or closed, emphasizing the idea that it's important to live in the moment and take in everything around you. The repetition of the phrase "Keep my head afloat" solidifies the idea that the singer is able to handle whatever comes his way as long as he stays focused and doesn't let fear take over.
Overall, the song seems to be about letting go of fear and embracing the unknown, even in potentially dangerous situations. The references to the plane and the ocean add to the feeling of being out of control and surrendering to the unknown, but the singer is unafraid because he knows he can keep his head above water.

Really couldn't say that I know your type
I don't know anything about you
30,000 feet and I'm so damn high
I'm on a plane and feeling exhilarated
The sun won't shine if you're terrified
Fear can make everything seem dark
It's all the same when you close your eyes
Things can feel the same in the dark or in imagination
Are you excited
Do you feel enthusiastic?
Do you like it
Are you enjoying this moment?
And if you hold me, I won't mind it
Physical contact is welcome
And I don't know you, but I want to
I'm curious and intrigued by you
And if this plane fell to the water, I'm OK
I'm not afraid of drowning
We'll ride the waves of the ocean
We'll go with the flow of things
Wasting all of our days
We'll spend our time carelessly
We could roll like the motion
We could move along with the waves
It could all float away
Our troubles could disappear
All these feels in the open
My emotions are exposed
Reasons I've been afraid
Things that scared me in the past
Knowing I won't drown if I keep my head afloat
I'll stay above water if I stay positive
I'ma keep my head afloat
I'll stay optimistic
Keep my head afloat
Stay positive
Head afloat
Stay above water (metaphor for positivity)

Over 3 years on and Jeremy, EDEN and Lauv have grown so much.
Also, the stripped versions are godly.
