In Their Words: "'Florida' is a funny, dark story about a delusional guy living in Florida. He lives in this s---ty sort of 'Stranger Than Paradise' motel with his wife and commutes to this generic job in Miami once or twice a week to do some mindless pushing-paper job. He was an actor in L.A. for a spell, but he's moved back to Florida, so in the song there's this line about him waiting out in the pool for a phone call from his agent that creates an absurd visual of this guy in his swim trunks, in this dingy motel with the phone near the pool, like he doesn't want to go swim because he thinks the call is going to be coming. But there's not going to be a call. That ship has sailed." -- Jesse Kivel, singer.
