Float Away
Ephemeral Escapes: Drifting with Jack Landis
Lyrics
Well, all those cotton-covered insects
Reference to insects covered in cotton
Drifting as the breeze does blow
Insects drifting with the breeze
Lose every ounce of grace they have
Loss of grace by insects in stagnant air
In stagnant air, you know
Highlighting the impact of stagnant air
They catch all on my clothes
Insects sticking to clothes and hair
And come in tangled in my hair
Insects becoming tangled
And when they extricate themselves
Insects extracting themselves from entanglement
They fall right out the air
Falling out of the air once free
And I would float away
Expressing a desire to float away
If I could, if I could
Reiteration of the desire to float away
I would float away
Expressing a persistent desire to float away
And I would float away
Repeating the longing to float away
If I could
Reiteration of the conditional desire to float away
I would float away
Continuing the expression of the desire to float away
It seems like every other day
Frequency of lake-silt disturbance by wind
The lake-silt's stirred up by the wind
Description of wind stirring up lake-silt
And all the benthic things below
Movement of benthic things due to wind
Get moved around again
Benthic things getting rearranged
They're carried in the current
Benthic things carried in the current
And they sink just where they do
Benthic things sinking in specific locations
And at the windy weather's whim
Formation of homes by benthic things influenced by weather
They make their homes anew
Creation of new homes by benthic things
And I would float away
Reiteration of the desire to float away
If I could, if I could
Continuing the expression of the desire to float away
I would float away
Repeating the persistent desire to float away
And I would float away
Expressing a longing to float away
If I could
Reiteration of the conditional desire to float away
I would float away
Continuing the expression of the desire to float away
And I would float away
Reiteration of the desire to float away
If I could, if I could
Continuing the expression of the desire to float away
I would float away
Repeating the persistent desire to float away
And I would float away
Expressing a longing to float away
If I could
Reiteration of the conditional desire to float away
I would float away
Continuing the expression of the desire to float away
