All the Stories But One
- When played in concert this song has a hard-extendend ending. Lasts for approximately 45 seconds, but varies.

American Theatric B-side
- Appeared first on the Subject to Change Compilation. This version of the song was recorded entirely different from it's Angels in the Flesh and Devils in the Bone counterpart.

Ascent I, The

Beast, The
- Usually attached to the ending of The Feast in concert.

Becoming

Beginning, The
- The first track on Sink. Most Floater fans, hope they never see the track, "The End."

Beginning, The (Angels)
- Endless I was first named The Beginning in hopes that the album would feel more conceptual if the last track were titled, "The End." But the first track on Sink already had the name "The Beginning."

Big Top, The

Bottle
- Bottle was played by Pete Cornett and sung by him.

...But Rain Never Came
- Sometimes in concert this song is changed into a drum beat performed by Pete in concert and is followed by Cinema.

Caroline
-A very very old song before the days of the Stiff and Restless Demo Tape. Has never been recorded by the band.

Centerfold
- This rarity is on the Sink Demo Tape, and gives an incite to Floater's early song-making capabilities and styles. A treat for hard-core fans.

Cinema
- From the album Glyph. "This song's about acid", was Rob's definition.

Clean Plastic Baby
- Clean Plastic Baby when played in concert usually has a jam session before the intro. During this jam session Dave uses a "wa-wa" peddle. A sleeper-hit, and a crowd favorite.

Crawl Into You

Danny Boy plus three
- A radio single cd. Alcoholic which was previously unreleased appeared on this single. Only 1000 were made, 600 went to radio stations abroad, another 300 went to fans through mail order, and the final 100 were sold at their shows and select record stores in the Northwest. Limited Edition.

Dead

Dead End
- A.K.A. Nothing. Dead End was the attachment to Oof.

Decleration II.

Downbringing
- This song was scrapped due to it's similarity to Snowblind. Reportedly was very kick ass.

The End
- Later renamed Endless II for the Angels in the Flesh and Devils in the Bone album.

Endless I
- In concert Endless I has another chorus, and then goes back to the verse. Adds much to the song. Played acoustically.

Endless II
- In concert Endless II is played electrically by Dave, and towards the very end, a small hard riff has been included to make the song end with more of a punch. On the album Endless II is mispelled "Endless Ii," which on the album appears as "Endless Li."

Face of Order, The

Feast, The
- Very commonly this song is played with The Beast in concert, and together they are practically considered one song.

Glyph
- Floater's second album. To date this album is the crowd's favorite for it's huge hits such as Cinema, Clean Plastic Baby, Persecutor, and The Sad Ballad of Danny Boy. Produced by Floater, mixed by Drew Canulette, and mastered by Kevin Nettleingham.

Godgun

Godgun Post-Edit
- Appeared on the Post-Grunge Compilation from Elemental Records. The Post-Edit included Summoning (1) as the intro, and Ah as the ending, extending the song to a full length of 6 minutes and 4 seconds.

Golden Head
- Usually precedes Settling in concert.

Gyuto
- Pronounced "Gee-oh-toe". Gyuto is an older song that plays out like Ah, but has more of a Peter the Destroyer funk to it. Has never been recorded by the band.

Intermezzo

Invisible
- A new song from Floater. May not be performed for some time.

Invitation, The

Isolation

Isolation II
- Faster tempo version of Isolation. Most commonly played before Glyph was released.

Jam
- Several jams exist to this date and most can be heard before Floater kicks into The Sad Ballad of Danny Boy, or Clean Plastic Baby. It involves an instrumental collage of distortion, rapid drum beats, and a persistant collaboration between the bass and guitar. No vocals, except for maybe a few grunts.

Kill the Girl
- Rob told the crowd once that "This song is for anyone who's a pathetic liar like me."

Killed the Girl
- Appeared on the Stiff and Restless Demo Tape. Later renamed Kill the Girl for their first album "Sink".

Knowing Dirge, The

Last Time, The

Manic

Medicine Woman

Mexican Bus

Midnight Ride

Minister

Mosquito
- This song deals with one of Rob's friends who came close to death from an overdose of heroin. Once, a while back Rob mentioned "This song is for a friend." Sometimes Jeff Chase, Floater's road manager, comes out on stage towards the end finale and blows forth fire towards the crowd.

Nothing
- Was known as Dead End. This song used to be the attachment to Oof (Our Hero's Resolve minus Zorba). Now it's commonly played by itself.

Oof
- Oof was the combination of the first part from Our Hero's Resolve plus Nothing. Later it was decided for the upcoming album to divide these two into entirely seperate songs.

Our Hero's Resolve
- Our Hero's Resolve was considered Oof at one time by the fans, but later Nothing (Dead-End) was removed and Zorba was later attached for the album.

Out of Sheer Lonliness

Persecutor
- When played in concert nowadays, this song has an extended ending which adds another minute to the cinematic experience. This song also has a new beginning which is much like the original intro, except a slower tempo, and much softer.

Pet

Peter the Destroyer
- Towards the end of this song, when played in concert, an extension is included to make this song even more intricate. The song is divided into four sections on the album including: The Ascent, Decleration, Peter the Destroyer, and Smoke and Madness.

Peter the Destroyer III.

Possum's Funeral, The
- To date Floater's only song that requires a keyboard.

Sad Ballad of Danny Boy, The
- Floater's anthem song, competes with Cinema and Peter the Destroyer for the most requested song by the crowd. Rob said, "This song is for anyone in the crowd who has kids." A Jam version of Danny Boy exists where Floater speeds the pace up a good couple notches. This one is called the "Adrenaline" version.

Settling
- Settling has a two-minute extension in concert. Sometimes the Seventeen/Snowblind combo is switched to Seventeen/Settling.

Seventeen
- Commonly followed by Snowblind in concert. Written as "17" on the set list.
