Float
Scandia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Satisfies himself in quiet delight
The morning dew evaporates away
And for the time he is here to stay
But he knows it can't be too long
Til the owl sings it's night song
So he stumbles off on his way home
Knowing he won't be alone
So
Stay here with me
Float here with me
Stay here with me
Float here with me
Stay home with me
Float here with me
Stay here with me
Float here with me
And as he makes the long trek home
From the west comes the silent storm
His pitter patter grows ever faster
Feebly runs from sure disaster
But the rain comes so stealthy
And the mouse moves so swiftly
But not enough to not get swept away
Flowing in a peculiar way
No it can't end this way
So
Stay here with me
Float here with me
Stay here with me
Float here with me
Stay home with me
Float here with me
Stay here with me
Float here with me
Stay here with me
Float here with me
Stay here with me
Float here with me
Stay here with me
Float here with me
Stay home with me
Float here with me
Stay home with me
Float here with me
Stay here with me
Float here with me
Float here with me
The lyrics to Scandia's "Float" describe a little mouse in the warm sunlight enjoying his peaceful surroundings. He knows that he can't stay forever, as it won’t be long until the night owl sings its song. As he begins his journey back home, he is met by a silent storm, causing him to run frantically to escape. Despite his efforts, he is caught in the rain and begins to flow away in a peculiar way. However, the little mouse does not give up and continues to fight, knowing that he won't be alone. The chorus invites the listener to stay and float with him, a representation of the idea of enjoying the present moment while it lasts.
Metaphorically, the song is about enjoying the smaller things in life, as they are worth cherishing, regardless of how fleeting they are. The mouse represents us, and the storm represents the harsh trials of life that we come across. The chorus sings to embrace the moment and enjoy it with the person you're with.
Overall, the song Float is a beautifully articulated thesis on life. The song advocates for living in the present, finding joy in small things, and cherishing your time with your loved ones. Scandia's message is so powerful and well-articulated that it is guaranteed to resonate with anyone who enjoys the art of poetry.

The little mouse sits in warm sunlight
The mouse enjoys the warmth of the sun
Satisfies himself in quiet delight
The mouse is content and happy
The morning dew evaporates away
The dew on the grass is gone as the sun gets hotter
And for the time he is here to stay
The mouse will stay in the sun for a little while longer
But he knows it can't be too long
The mouse is aware that his time in the sun is limited
Til the owl sings it's night song
The mouse knows that the owl will come out soon
So he stumbles off on his way home
The mouse starts to walk home
Knowing he won't be alone
The mouse expects to meet other animals on his way home
No he won't be alone
The mouse will have company on his way home
Stay here with me
The singer is asking to stay and enjoy the moment
Float here with me
The singer wants to be carefree and relaxed
And as he makes the long trek home
The mouse starts his journey home
From the west comes the silent storm
The singer is describing a coming storm
His pitter patter grows ever faster
The mouse starts to run faster
Feebly runs from sure disaster
The mouse is running weakly from the storm
But the rain comes so stealthy
The rain comes unexpectedly
And the mouse moves so swiftly
The mouse starts to run quickly
But not enough to not get swept away
The mouse is still swept away by the rain
Flowing in a peculiar way
The mouse is flowing in the water oddly
No it can't end this way
The singer hopes that the mouse can survive
Float here with me
The singer repeats the chorus
Stay here with me
The singer repeats the chorus
Stay home with me
The singer hopes that the mouse can take shelter
Float here with me
The singer repeats the chorus
Float here with me
The singer repeats the chorus
