Based on lyrical content it can be assumed that “Float” focuses on self-esteem issues. Since a common way of saying someone is sad is by saying they’re “feeling down,” and there are lyrics in which Jesse questions whether or not he’ll float. It can be assumed that Jesse wants to know if he will be able to maintain a good self-esteem (that is, considering Jesse is referring to floating as the opposite of being or feeling down).

Float lyrics

Imagine breathing in
Imagine leaving all your air behind
What matters in the end
A matter of opinion 'til you find out
Life can only mean hardly anything
All I'll ever be is partly settled in
They show you how to swim
Then they throw you in the deep end
I've been learning since
But it doesn't mean I'll float, oh, no
I won't float, no, no, no, no
Won't float
I had a funny sleep
I didn't have a dream
'Cause I don't believe in them
Life can only mean hardly anything
All I'll ever be is partly settled in
They show you how to swim
Then they throw you in the deep end
I've been learning since
But it doesn't mean I'll float, no, no
No, no
I won't float, no, no, no, no
Float away
Float away, then come right back to me
Float away
Float away, then come right back to me
They show you how to swim
Then they throw you in the deep end
Well, I've been learning since
But that doesn't mean I'll, oh
They show you how to swim
Then they throw you in the deep end
Well, I've been learning since
But it doesn't mean I'll float, no, no
No, no
I won't float
What if I, what if I don't float?
What if I don't float?
I think I'll float
I'll float
I'll float away
