Float On Lyrics
Artist(Band):Modest Mouse
Review The Song (32)Print the Lyrics
I backed my car into a cop car, the other day.
Well he just drove off, sometimes life's ok.
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say.
Well you just laughed it off, it was all ok.

And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on any way, well.

A fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam.
It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand.
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands.
Good news will work its way to all them plans.
We both got fired on exactly the same day.
Well we'll float on good news is on the way.

And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, alright.
Already we'll all float on.
No, don't you worry, we'll all float on.
Alright, already, we'll all float on.
Alright, don't worry, we'll all float on.

Alright already we'll all float on.
Alright already we'll all float on.
Alright don't worry even if things end up a bit too heavy.
We'll all float on...alright. Already we'll all float on.
Alright already we'll all float on, ok.
Don't worry we'll all float on.
Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on.

Alright already we'll all float on.
(Alright)
Don't you worry we'll all float on.
(Alright)
All float on....

Review about Float On

life's a river | Reviewer: Joel | 10/31/09

Sometimes, we all really do need to just float on, and i think this song does a great job of reminding us all. As for the whole slaughterhouse thing, I think it's a metaphor that basically says "Yeah, we'll all be going the same way eventually, but until then, just live your life peacefully and happily." And so, with that, I leave you to interpret it on your own.



My interpretation | Reviewer: Alex | 8/10/09

Here is my interpretation of this great song

Life is an Ocean, and we are all on this boat in the middle of it. Sometimes the seas are rough and sometimes they are calm... The only true way to experience this life is to jump in, but we need to know how to float before we can swim, because we are far away from shore and if we only try and swim there we will get worn out and surely drown. Thus float on, take it easy, don't fret over every little thing.



...Sarcasm? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/16/09

Many of you are talking about the sarcasm that you see in this song, but if you read some interviews with Isaac Brock, he talks about how this song was during a period with Life goes on was basically his philosophy. Although the video is dark and sinister, I believe that that is just trying to reconcile old MM fans to the fact that this song is happy and hopeful. I love all MM, and this song is no different. But I do understand why the video would purposefully be made dark to attract old MM listeners who say that happiness in MM is just not acceptable. With the video, the producers are going for old fans, by releasing this song as a single, they attracted new. They just want the best of both worlds, and as much money as possible!



Don't try and use a video to ascribe meaning to a song. | Reviewer: Maven | 5/12/09

Seriously, there's no point in trying to judge a song by it's video. If we used "video logic", we'd have to believe that "Safety Dance" is about midgets in the middle-ages. Videos are most often created by a video producer, not the band, and typically don't have Jack to do with the song.



More people should just float on instead of getting enraged | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/8/09

Great song. It reminds me to take life with a grain of salt and not to let ever little thing get to me. However I am not sure that the second line is correctly printed. I thought the line went "Well he just drove off, sometimes I DK."



Hard to say but good song nontheless | Reviewer: Russ | 4/15/09

Well it's pretty hard to say for me if it's sarcastic. My first thought is no cause i'm pretty optimistic in nature. However, when you watch the video, you can clearly see the sheep being slauhtered. There's meat hooks in that building for god's sake...oh well. Still a great song.



Great Song, great message | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/24/09

Some of you say Float On is sarcastic, but I disagree. Listening to this song always gives me hope that even when I'm down, I'll always float on no matter what.
It's a good song to listen to when you are not happy with your life at the moment, if you ask me.

Also, it's very different from their more "remorseful" songs, if you will. One that doesn't have to do with death.

Great band, this is my favorite album.



re: to Anonymous | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/23/09

do you know what your talkin about...ie "If you can see the goodness in all things you will find nirvana" how about you live real life before you go to that length in judging something you don't understand. this is an abstract song and you shouldn't be trying to define it.



beautiful song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/7/09

this song is basicly taking the piss out of every1 by saying every1 is just floating on. dont float people swim take life into your own hands. don;t wait for next good thing to come along be open to the good in everything that comes your way.

"If you can see the goodness in all things you will find nirvana"



Rare | Reviewer: Daye | 2/5/09

Isaac Brock was definitely caught in a rare moment of positivity for this song! While it's a great Modest Mouse song, it's absolutely different from the good ole depressing tunes they normally play.. In the making of the video, Isaac was most likely stunned by himself for writing the lyrics so he had to make it sound sarcastic, perhaps? Good song nonetheless!
