after closing my doors, pulling the shades, climbing the walls, and listening to this great song i started to think that it could be about chris's battles with depression and drug abuse during his younger teenage years. the drug use allows him to temporarily forget his problems and shame. the 'over' in overfloater implies excess. it's not excess in the sense of an overdose on drugs, but rather, in the sense that the drug use is overwhelming to his young mind. he is also overfloating 'alone.' alone, depressed, and abusing drugs to escape problems can really take its toll on a young teenager.
