We The Wild Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wide enough to wake up
Do you feel, light enough to float
Dight enough to float on
Your heart, is nothing like it used to be
Nothing like it used to be
My love, is nothing love I used to be
You stole, heart of gold
Yes you stole, a heart of gold gold gold gold
Oh oh oh oh oh
Do you speak, only when the wind blows
Only when the wind blows
Do you reach, just open up your window
Tare out the wall and let go go go
REPEAT Never gonna see you fall, never gonna see you fall
Never gonna see you run, never gonna love someone X7
Oh oh oh oh oh
REPEAT
In "Float" by We The Wild, the lyrics reflect on the idea of being light and free, almost like "floating". The opening lines, "Do you sleep, wide enough to wake / Wide enough to wake up," suggest a sense of deep insomnia and/or an inability to fully unwind that is necessary to achieve a new state of consciousness. The following lines, "Do you feel, light enough to float / Light enough to float on," imply that the singer is questioning whether the listener is able to leave behind the weight of their burdens and simply float away.
The following verse, "Your heart, is nothing like it used to be / Nothing like it used to be / My love, is nothing love I used to be / Is nothing love I used to be," suggests a loss of love or a change in the way the singer loves the recipient. The line "You stole, heart of gold / Yes you stole, a heart of gold gold gold gold" implies that the recipient took advantage of the singer's love and perhaps ripped it away in a forceful manner.
The final verse is a call to action, urging the recipient to take a chance and break free of their constraints, "Do you speak, only when the wind blows / Only when the wind blows / Do you reach, just open up your window / Tare out the wall and let go go go." The chorus repeats the idea that the singer will never let the recipient fall or run away from love, which can be interpreted in a positive or negative light depending on the listener's perspective.

I listened to this song about 10 years ago in vancouver, canada. I was smoking pot in a coffee shop and all of the sudden this songs starts. It feels like it was yesterday even though 10 years have passed. Nice memories, cant believe my mind found this random thought.
