I Might Float
Syd Matters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It′s the spring time floating on, upon the city I won't blow it but (won′t blow it but)
I will leave this town by the weekend if you
Buy me a ticket out to save my money for
The dark days (.oney for the dark)
I will travel through the seas until the summer voices of
The fire noises of
And I will find the strength to give up all the things I'm made up of
The things I'm made up of
The leaves are tied up on my arms
And I miss that confort in being trusted by the king and the princess
The king and the princess
The king and the princess
The king and the princess
The lights and the flashes.
I might float for a second through the shadows of my reason
For my own, my own on the rainbow above the ocean
I might float for a second through the shadows of my reason
For my own, my own children on the rainbow above the ocean
(There is something in the weather coming.
It′s the spring time floating on upon the city.)
I might float for a second through the shadows of my reason
For my own, my own children on the rainbow above the ocean
The lyrics of Syd Matters's song I Might Float paint a picture of a person who wants to leave their current city and embark on a journey to discover themselves. The first few lines suggest that spring has arrived, and it's time for a change. The singer wants to leave the city but needs someone to buy them a ticket since they want to save their money for the 'dark days.' The darkness here could symbolize the unknown future or challenging times.
The following lines seem to talk about the singer's journey, which will take them through the seas until the summer. The mention of the 'fire noises of the burning witches' is ambiguous but might symbolize something being cleansed or renewed. The singer will find the strength to give up all the things they're made up of, which could indicate a desire to shed their old self and start anew.
The singer misses the comfort of being trusted by the king and the princess. This line is also open to interpretation, but it could represent the trustworthiness of the old order the singer is leaving behind. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer might float above the ocean, with their reasons shadowing them, for their own sake and that of their children. Overall, the song seems to be about seeking change, renewal, and self-discovery.

The noises of the fires
The burning witches call me home
I am drawn back by the calls of the witches burning in the fires
And I will find the strength to give up all the things I'm made up of
I will summon the courage to let go of my past self
The things I'm made up of
The characteristics that define me
The leaves are tied up on my arms
The symbolic leaves are tied to my arms
And I miss that comfort in being trusted by the king and the princess
I yearn for the comfortable position of being trusted by royalty
The king and the princess
The rulers of the land
The lights and the flashes.
The attention and glamour associated with royalty
I might float for a second through the shadows of my reason
I may briefly drift through my logical thoughts
For my own, my own on the rainbow above the ocean
For my own benefit while soaring above the ocean
I might float for a second through the shadows of my reason
I may briefly drift through my logical thoughts
For my own, my own children on the rainbow above the ocean
For the sake of my own children while flying above the ocean

"I Might Float"
There is something in the weather coming
It’s the springtime floating all upon the city
I wanna blow it back, wanna blow it back
I will leave this town by the weekend
If you buy me a ticket, I have to save my money
For the dark days honey, for the dark
I will travel through the season
'Til the summer voices and the fire noises
And the burning witches call me home
I will find the strength to give up
All the thing I made up, all the things I made up
All the leaves I tied up on my arms
I miss the comfort in being trusted by
By the king and the princes
By the king and the princes
By the king and the princes
By the lights and the flashes
By the clock and the watches,
By the stars and the matches
By the dying species
By the flying foxes...
I might float for a second
Through the shadow
Of my reason
Find my home
My children
I’m a rainbow (o)ver the ocean
