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.

Float Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Imagine breathing in
Imagine leaving all your air behind
What matters in the end
A matter of opinion 'til you find out
[Pre-Chorus]
Life can only mean hardly anything
All I'll ever be is partly settled in
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I had a funny sleep
I didn't have a dream 'cause I don't believe in them
[Pre-Chorus]
Life can only mean hardly anything
All I'll ever be is partly settled in
[Chorus]
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, oh, no, no, no
I won't float, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Bridge]
Float away
Float away, then come right back to me
Float away
Float away, then come right back to me
[Chorus]
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, oh, no
I won't float
[Outro]
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

What does "float" mean in this song?
In this song, floating is used as a metaphor for being mentally stable.
Is this song about depression?
I feel like that is a plausible solution, given the text that the narrator is close to drowning in his life while everyone else is swimming, and that even though he knows how to swim, he just can’t. It can be a metaphor for someone who knows how to be happy but just can’t. And the last two lines, ab...
