Float
Discovering Home: A Journey of Finding Purpose in 'Float' by The New Pacific
Lyrics
I’ve walked to the end of the road
The speaker has reached the end of a journey or experience.
To find my way back home
Despite reaching the end, the goal is to return home.
I’ve found my way to the ledge
They've gone to a risky place (symbolized by "the ledge").
To find my home again
Despite the risk, it's about finding a sense of belonging again.
We’ve traveled oh so far
Having traveled extensively to understand reality.
To find the way things are
The journey to understand how things truly are.
The further that I go
More exploration reveals a stronger connection to home.
The more I’m finding home
Discovering the essence of 'home' with increased exploration.
We’ll float along
Metaphorically floating in life's experiences.
(We’re ordinary)
Recognizing their ordinariness while floating.
Like we belong
Feeling a sense of belonging while floating and not wanting to return to normalcy.
(We’re never coming down)
Not intending to come back down to reality.
We’ll right the wrongs
Intention to correct past mistakes or injustices.
(And you’ll discover)
Encouragement for the listener to experience floating.
You’ll float along (along)
A continuation of the floating metaphor for the listener.
(So with nights like this we’ll keep you hanging on)
With moments like these, they aim to keep the listener engaged.
You might think we’re out of our minds
Expectations of being seen as irrational or crazy.
Might think we’re off of our heads
Anticipating judgment for being unconventional or different.
Well off with our heads
A phrase hinting at defiance against criticism or expectations.
You might think we owe you
Suggesting that the perception of owing something is incorrect.
It’s more like we own you
Asserting a sense of control or mastery over the situation or relationship.
The only way out is through
Emphasizing that facing challenges is the only way to move forward.
( The only way out is through )
Reiteration of the idea that overcoming difficulties is necessary.
Just let go you’ll be okay
Encouragement to release worries or fears.
Just let go, don’t be afraid
A repetition emphasizing the importance of letting go.
Just let go, just let go
A final call to release and surrender to the situation.
