The song is about someone feeling depressed, and being unable to talk about it.
His “head is full of bother”, he got a lot on his mind, but he can’t find the right words, or the right person, to discuss his issues.
And he expects the person he’s talking to to be here for him, to be compassionate, ev...
[Verse 1]
Sit on a train, reading a book
Same damn planet, every time I look
Try to relax and slow my heartbeat
Only works when I'm dead asleep
Been thinking and drinking, all over the town
Must be gearing up for some kind of meltdown
[Chorus]
All I am is a body floating downwind
All I am is a body floating downwind
[Verse 2]
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Are you sure nothing's wrong?"
"Yeah."
"But you're sad about something?"
"Yeah."
"So tell me what?"
"I don't know."
I can't tell you
I can't tell you
I can't tell you
I can't tell you
[Chorus]
All I am is a body floating downwind
All I am is a body floating downwind
[Verse 1]
Sit on a train, reading a book
Same damn planet, every time I look
Try to relax and slow my heartbeat
Only works when I'm dead asleep
Been thinking and drinking, all over the town
Must be gearing up for some kind of meltdown
[Bridge]
As the express train passes the local
It moves by just like a paper boat
Although it weighs a million pounds
I swear, it almost seems to float
And as we pass by each other
Our heads all full of bother
We can't look, we can't stop
We can't think, we can't stop
'Cause we're stuck in our own paths
And it's the way it always lasts
And I need something more from you
[Chorus]
All I am is a body floating downwind
All I am is a body floating downwind
Floating downwind
