| | I think it is about overcoming by reaching an understanding of everything that sucks in the world, like everyone fucking up the world and creating global warming. "Sink, Florida, Sink" think about it, don't they predict that Florida will someday be underwater? All because people fuck it up.. |

that's what i got out of it too, but i also like to think that's the song's a last goodbye to the relationship since it has ended, they're finally completely letting go, they've overcome the angst and pain of the break-up. |

| I keep thinking of a couple failing to get along and the distance beteween them is affecting them either that they are not getting along type of thing or that they are far away from eachother.
Cadence is like music rythym or w/e aint it? so could be the music is carrying one away from the other? i dunno just thought id shit that out there |

| I always thought it was about relationships also. The boys were spending a lot of time in Europe (distance the size of an ocean) and perhaps they weren't sure if the connection would be there when they returned (addressed to your last known residence)
What I really love about this song is that a friend used it for the voice mail greeting. When you called her too late at night the answering machine would pick up: NOT ONE MORE WORD TONIGHT .....
priceless

Ever been?
God, there are so many reasons. First of all, it's one of the most beautiful places you can be, and yet it's nothing but bars and tourist traps all built at the expense of the landscape that made the place so famous.
It's full of people who are not actually from Florida, who only move their because of the idea of Florida, to retire, to die, to live a "good life" in giant McMansions behind iron bars with security guards out front questioning all visitors. I grew up in Florida, north and south (North Florida and South Florida may as well be two different states, and in fact they were going to be split up way back when), and in 20 years I have only met maybe 5 people who were actually born in Florida, everyone else is from New York or Puerto Rico or Quebec or somewhere else. There is no love for the place, only the idea. No one wants a community there. They are simply there, and everyone else is simply encroaching upon their vacation time.
The incredible divide between the rich and poor. Miami may as well be a third world nation, but people only ever see the movie image of Miami, of mansions and beaches and beautiful people. They don't see the shanty houses and desperation.
The amazing conservativism in the government, the homophobia, racism, and amazing insanity that stems from the government, which really originates in the population as a whole.
The fact that Tampa probably has more strippers than teachers. Most of the girls I went to high school with have to be strippers to pay for their education and for their food and rent. And who am I kidding? Most of them don't really give two shits about education, since they can make a couple of thousand dollars for an hour of work a week simply being nude. And these women will have children, I assure you.
The fact that the economy is driven solely by tourism, the fact that the only jobs available are a part of the tourism or retail industry. Any other line of work is frowned upon, and anyone who does not want to be a telemarketer or salesman has to leave.
The fact that the school system in Florida is basically a punchline to a joke. It's amazing that anyone can read in Florida. It's amazing that each and every one of the universities in Florida are taken seriously.
The fact that people only go to school in Florida to party, and as such, those who go to learn are placed at a serious disadvantage. The teachers aren't much better.
The fact that the black, latino, and white populations are so aggressive to each other most of the time. It's the most racially divided, racist, horribly closed minded place. As a white man, I have never, ever been asked "what are you" so often, and the answer to that question often dictated whether I would be treated with respect, or beaten by a group of people who were not "what I was".
The fact that the Gulf of Mexico is basically a dead sea. There's no life there, and no one cares.
Shall I go on? I could.
Florida is the worst place in the world. And people like it that way. Fuck Florida. |
I'm also from Florida, born in Miami. I moved to a town just outside of Orlando. Though this state's government sucks, it's a decent place to live in. By the way, your going to have racial tensions wherever you go. I mean, do you think LA is a tolerant place? New York City? |

I think that basically sums it up perfectly. 
And that is a bloody awesome answering machine greeting thing..

| I definitely agree with the long-distance relationship.
To me, though, it seems that the relationshipees or however you'd say it haven't come to terms with it yet.
Like they're still trying, sinking and drowning, but trying, and one of them realizes it isn't going to work. |
