About This Track

'Floaty' by Foo Fighters is an alternative track from the album 'Foo Fighters', released in 1995. The lyrics repeatedly frame people and things that float away, then come back down, with the final lines turning that image into a comment on scale, as “what’s flown around” seems larger than what is sitting in front of it. The overall sense is buoyant, but also a little pointed, circling between whimsy and comparison rather than settling on a single destination.

"Floaty" is a track by Foo Fighters, from the album Foo Fighters, released 3rd July 1995. The track is 4:29 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 17 articles about Foo Fighters.

Lyrics

Floaty

He floats
Floats away
On the ground
He comes back down
They float
Float away
On the ground
They come back down
She floats
Floats away
On the ground
She comes back down
We float
Float away
On the ground
We come back down

That's not as big as
What's flown around here
That's not as big as
What's flown around here
That's not as big as
What's flown around here

He floats
Floats away
On the ground
He comes back down
She floats
Floats away
On the ground
She comes back down

That's not as big as
What's flown around here
That's not as big as
What's flown around here
That's not as big as
What's flown around here

They float
Float away
On the ground
They come back down
We float
Float away
On the ground
We come back down

That's not as big as
What's flown around here
That's not as big as
What's flown around here
That's not as big as
What's flown around here
