About

This song is actually incredibly important as it is a bit unusual for Modest Mouse songs. In this song, Isaac almost has a moment of humility as he admits how much he actually loves the chaotic beauty of our human civilization sometimes, despite how much we have sacrificed without knowing it to get...

Florida Lyrics

[Verse 1: Isaac Brock]
Although we'd often wondered
It was no thing of wonder
The shit that flew from our minds
While wearing stains of fresh fruit
And riding on shoes of horse glue
On this ridiculous climb
With great tunnel vision
We'd built ourselves a mission
To ride on bullets inside
Oh, what a vain description
Of what we have been missin'
So why would anyone try?

[Chorus: Isaac Brock, James Mercer]
(Whoa-oh) It was always worth it
(Oh-whoa) That's the part I seem to hide
(Whoa-oh) And the busy ant empire
(Oh-whoa) Put up the closing sign

[Verse 2: Isaac Brock]
I wasn't always cargo
I was once kind of my own
I guess I'll pack up my mind
Well, it took so much effort
Not to make an effort
Oh, what a flawless design

[Chorus: Isaac Brock, James Mercer]
(Whoa-oh) It was always worth it
(Oh-whoa) That's the part I seem to hide
(Whoa-oh) And the busy ant empire
(Oh-whoa) Put up the closing sign

[Refrain: Isaac Brock]
Even as I left Florida

[Chorus: Isaac Brock, James Mercer]
(Whoa-oh) It was always worth it
(Oh-whoa) That's the part I seem to hide
(Whoa-oh) And the busy ant empire
(Oh-whoa) Has all deserted hive
(Whoa-oh) It was always worth it
(Whoa-oh) That's the part I seem to hide

[Refrain: Isaac Brock]
Even as I had left Florida
Far enough, far enough, wasn't far enough
Couldn't quite seem to escape myself
Far enough, far enough, far from Florida
We were all drowsin' in cruise control
Far enough, far enough, wasn't far enough

[Bridge: Isaac Brock]
I stood on my heart's porch thinkin'
"Oh, my God, I'll probably have to carry this whole load"
I couldn't remember if I tried
I couldn't remember if I took my brain out
Threw it so directly at the goal
I couldn't remember if I— Ah! Ah! Augh!
I could have my mind erased
And still not know exactly what I don't already know

[Refrain: Isaac Brock]
Even as I had left Florida
