Rising through the UK D.I.Y scene Nai Harvest released various demo's and EP's and even a collection album called 'Whatever', before signing to Topshelf Records in 2014 and releasing their debut EP 'Hold Open My Head'. This EP saw the band move into a sound that set them apart from their previous material and that focused on poppy memorable hooks, fuzzy guitar work and punk driven drums. Nai Harvest shortly followed up with a split single with close friends and London duo Playlounge, which was released as a special edition flower shaped vinyl.

Nai Harvest had a habit of surprising people with their ability to skip effortlessly through genres and in 2015 released their second full-length album 'Hairball', which offers their take on surfy garage punk without losing their acclaimed scuzzy pop charm.

Floor
Nai Harvest Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watching the white walls close in on me, I know I'll never make friends like these it's such a drag.
I wish I had something better to say about being awake, I guess it's not that bad anyway.
So I'll pass it off and focus on something that I care about.
How about myself?
How about everyone else?

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Nai Harvest's "Floor" are indicative of the sense of isolation and disillusionment that pervades the song. The metaphor of "white walls" closing in on the singer suggests a feeling of suffocation and entrapment, while the admission that they will "never make friends like these" reflects a deep sense of alienation from their surroundings. Despite these bleak sentiments, however, the singer tries to find some semblance of positivity in being awake, acknowledging that "it's not that bad anyway." This moment of introspection then gives way to a focus on the self and on others, as the singer contemplates the possibility of finding fulfillment in these areas.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of searching for meaning and connection in a world that seems to offer little of either. The repeated refrain of "I don't know what it is that I am looking for" underscores this theme, as the singer grapples with the limitations of their own understanding and the seemingly insurmountable obstacles that stand in the way of genuine intimacy and communication.

Overall, "Floor" is a poignant and introspective exploration of the complexities of human emotion and the search for meaning and belonging.

Line by Line Meaning

Watching the white walls close in on me, I know I'll never make friends like these it's such a drag.
Feeling confined and isolated in a dull environment, I realize that I won't find meaningful connections here, and it's disheartening.

I wish I had something better to say about being awake, I guess it's not that bad anyway.
Although I don't have much enthusiasm for waking up early, I suppose it's not the worst thing in the world.

So I'll pass it off and focus on something that I care about.
Instead of dwelling on my lack of satisfaction, I'll redirect my energy towards my interests and passions.

How about myself?
Perhaps I should prioritize my own well-being and self-care.

How about everyone else?
But I also want to consider the needs and desires of those around me, showing kindness and empathy towards others.
