Float'n flow
m-flo loves Rie Fu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A simple breeze of calming
The heat of oh romancing
Don¥t wanna end this feeling
This wave of my love

I¥ve been feeling lonely
I¥ve been feeling low
But the minute that you give it, you just take me away
And that¥s what I¥m asking for
Drifting like the waters
Coming all night long
And the minute that you give it, you just take me away
And that¥s what I¥m looking for

Your hands on me so suddenly
We¥re gonna flee together
(all the people get up and come on)

Memories are turning
But you are still here even though it¥s a one time summer
cruisin¥
We¥re flylng above the clouds

When I¥m feelin lonely and I find myself alone
I just take myself to have a chicken curry with nan
At samrat shibuya store
Why¥d I love your daughter? Ain¥t nobody know for sure
I would love to call and hang up when you pick up the phone
But your caller ID would show…

I go by V E the R B
A L and that¥s how people call me
But really really sometimes it¥s hard to be me
My real me... like I¥m chillin with my families
People come... and, people go
But most just actin like friends than toes
Gotta be on the edge of my seat and my toes
Cuz everything that glitters ain¥t gold
What you expect man, it¥s show biz...
it¥s all for show... You¥re not supposed to
give your trust to most cuz most don¥t know... you
if you don¥t like it change your clothes and go... WHOOOH!
What¥s new? Under the sun
Ain¥t nothing changed, everything¥s been done...
But yo... what keeps me going is that"something"...
"Something"that moves me... and what moves me is my
future with you

Your hands on me so suddenly
We¥re gonna flee together
(all the people get up and come on)

do you know how I feel? This is so real
So real, it¥s so real
No matter what they tell me I believe what I feel
You know it (You know it) You know it (You know it)

I¥ve been feeling lonely
I¥ve been feeling low
But the minute that you give it, you just take me away
And that¥s what I¥m asking for
Drifting like the waters
Coming all night long
And the minute that you give it, you just take me away
And that¥s what I¥m looking for

Your hands on me you¥re part of me




We¥re gonna flee together
(all the people get up and come on)

Overall Meaning

"Float'n Flow" is a dance-pop song by m-flo featuring Rie Fu, a Japanese singer-songwriter based in the UK. The song is about the rush of emotions that comes with falling in love, particularly the desire to stay in the moment and make it last. The opening lines, "A simple breeze of calming, the heat of oh romancing, don't wanna end this feeling, this wave of my love," set the tone for the rest of the song, which is filled with references to water, drifting, and escaping reality.


The chorus, "I've been feeling lonely, I've been feeling low, but the minute that you give it, you just take me away, and that's what I'm asking for, drifting like the waters, coming all night long," captures the sensation of being lost in the moment and not wanting to let go. The second verse talks about the power of food to lift the spirits, with the singer seeking comfort in a chicken curry dish at a specific restaurant in Shibuya, Tokyo. Meanwhile, the rap verse by VERBAL emphasizes the difficulty of being true to oneself in a world that demands conformity and superficiality, but ends on an optimistic note about the power of love to inspire hope for the future.


Overall, "Float'n Flow" is an upbeat and catchy song about the all-consuming nature of romance and the desire to escape the mundanity of everyday life. The use of imagery related to water and drifting reinforces the idea of being carried away by the emotions and sensations of the moment, while the various references to food and culture ground the song in a specific time and place. Rie Fu's clear and bright voice contrasts well with VERBAL's more laid-back and rhythmic style, creating a dynamic and engaging track that is sure to get listeners moving.

I think Rie Fu is one of the japanese singers that has the best english pronounciation. The first time I heard "Life is like a boat", I was sure it was an american girl. I love her =)
