She Floats - meaning
« on: September 14, 2004, 09:33:36 pm »
I have been listening to She Floats. I really like it. I have interpretted it in my mind, but I was curious to what anyone else got from that song. What does it mean, do you think? Or is there a general idea of what the song is about? Just curious. Thanks

The first two more than the latter, IMO  :razz:

the lyrics might change a little for Harmonium, but so far im guessing its about--

escaping your body / reality  to go to a more peaceful 'imaginative' place
and/or
a woman with drug problems who finds it difficult to quit

...romours about someone still hooked on drugs although she says she's quit.

that is, if it goes "God knows she quits, though i'm told she floats"(meaning...noone knows if she quit, but romour has it she still "floats" a.k.a. gets HiiigHh)


meh, maybe maybe not, i'll have to see the lyrics in the booklet to be sure.

I thought it was about death and/or being suicidal..

Edit: upon listening again, I can see how it can be about someone on drugs..

A summer day in 2002, she sat in a Seattle hotel room, looked out over the puget sound, saw the whales... it basically wrote itself :)
