Floating
Ready to Live Lyrics

I can't understand
The artist is struggling to understand their identity

Who I am, what I am
They are questioning their identity further and seeking answers

Woke up one morning like bam,
Their realization was unexpected and sudden

Here's this half white Mexican
The lyrics suggest a mixed-race identity

Who's my maker?
The artist is asking the question of biological origins and existence

What's my brand?
They are looking for a sense of individuality and purpose

I need someone to talk to,
The artist feels alone and wants someone to confide in

I still don't understand...
They are still seeking answers and don't have clarity

Sometimes I feel alone and so taken back,
The artist is struggling with loneliness and feeling overwhelmed

Afraid I might die before I ever get a chance...
There is a sense of urgency to find answers and find purpose in life

My heart feels broken, just a hopeless romance
The artist feels disillusioned and heartbroken in life in general

As we toe dance around this issue we should hold hands
The artist suggests that people should come together to face problems instead of avoiding them

Carry a conversation, plant a seed, and hope for a plan
Misunderstandings should be resolved through communication and working toward a solution

Your perfection was perfected, it's perfection, I'm a fan
The artist may be referring to a person they admire or love who they see as perfect

The definition is in your eyes, and I can't help but take a glance
The artist is admiring this person through their eyes

Rest your head up on my shoulders, take a breath, raise your glass...
The artist is offering comfort and support to the person they admire

Cause lately, i've been thinking everything comes back to you...
The person they admire is the center of their thoughts and world

But I have no idea who you are, or what
The artist is still unsure about the identity and character of their admired person

I gotta' do to get your attention
The artist wants to catch the attention of the person they are admiring

Even though I kinda' think I do,
The artist has some ideas on how to grab this person's attention

I'm still gonna ask for help or maybe one more clue...
The artist is seeking help and guidance in their life struggles

Lately, I've been numb from the sound
The artist is desensitized or disenchanted with their surroundings

My feet are elevated when my heads up in the clouds
They may be feeling detached from reality and living in their own headspace

I'm Floating, (yeah, yeah) I'm Floating (ugh)...
The artist may be feeling a sense of weightlessness or detachment from reality

Lately, I've been stuck inside this haze
The artist may be feeling confused or unclear about their life path

To high above myself to find the words I need to say
They may be feeling disconnected from their own thoughts and emotions

I'm disgusted with the person i've become
The artist is frustrated or unhappy with their own self-growth

Created, faded in rust, and must it get worse before it doesn't?
The artist is questioning if things will continue to go downhill before they get better

Related to the cluster, these inodaidid struggles were facin'
The artist feels they share their struggles with many others

Pale in comparison to all the lust and the rage
Their struggles seem less significant when compared to bigger issues like desires and anger

If we trust and behave, the custom to which just to be saved
The artist suggests that trust and good behavior can lead to salvation

Plus we've repaived the road, that was untouched that we changed, its all for nothing
The artist may be questioning the point of their efforts and progress in life in general

Something tells me we just busted the chains, from once in the viens
The artist suggests that they may have broken free from limiting beliefs and mindsets

Of a pitbull, stuck in a cage!..
They compare their former mindset to that of a captive animal

Now were indebted, ignorant in the direction were headed
The artist feels indebted and unsure of their direction in life

To be imbedded innocents, were just reflections of heaven
The artist suggests that humans are inherently good and reflections of a greater divine plan or energy

I haven't felt this way in so long
The artist may be expressing relief or joy after having overcome a difficult obstacle or mindset

Am I testing the reverend, or is the path were travelin' an indiscretion?
The artist may be questioning if their current path in life is right or morally acceptable

I'm guessin' that mean, without you, this wouldn't have happened...
The artist suggests that their current state of being is a direct result of the influence of another person

I'm askin' you to accept the fact that had you not been passionate, as it whent passed you
They want the other person to acknowledge their own impact and importance in the artist's life

Then you would have had to pass the match, we lit, back to the bastards who put out the fire, as if that was the answer, but...
The artist may be referring to those who have discouraged or tried to dampen their passion and drive

Lately, I've been numb from the sound
Repeating line, the artist is beginning to feel disconnected with their surroundings

My feet are elevated when my heads up in the clouds
Repeating line, they continue to feel detached from reality

I'm Floating, (yeah, yeah) I'm Floating (ugh)...
Repeating line, this detachment may be becoming greater in the artist's mind
