Animal Collective – What Would I Want? Sky Lyrics 16 years ago
My interpretation of the song is the lead singer is feeling negatively about himself and uses winter as a metaphor to explain his current emotional state. He says he should be 'floating'(enjoying things), but he's weighted by thinking (stress, insecurities). He asks himself 'what would i want?' and he wants 'sky' (clarity).

that's what i got from it
