Rise Florida and Little One
At Will Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I bleed for the silver and diamonds
Will I get to sleep alone
Will I get to sleep alone, I'm going home
Kiss the wife goodnight
Put the kid to bed, so I can think about breathing again
I left my blood at your front door, so
I get to sleep alone and place a stamp on my heart, send me away (I'm fine) so,
I get to sleep alone and place a stamp on my heart and send me away
I look good to you like sex on the sand
Like flowers in hand
I feel God slipping away
Bye-bye little one, I loved Mommy
A little too much




Florida and rum taste better than a family will
If I sleep alone, If I sleep alone then I'm going home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of At Will's song, Rise Florida and Little One, depict the struggles of a person who is torn between their material desires and the need for human connections. The opening lines, "If I bleed for the silver and diamonds, will I get to sleep alone?" suggest that the singer is willing to sacrifice everything, including love and relationships, in pursuit of power and wealth. He wonders if his efforts will be worth it in the end, and if it will grant him the isolation he craves.


The refrain, "I get to sleep alone and place a stamp on my heart, send me away," reflects the singer's desire to detach himself from his emotions and become an emotionless being. He wants to be like a letter put in the mail, with a destination and no return, suggesting that he wants to disconnect from his feelings and be free of the burden of human attachment. The line, "Florida and rum taste better than a family will," suggests that he values material pleasures over family bonds, further highlighting his detachment from humanity.


The bridge of the song features the singer bidding farewell to his child ("Bye-bye little one, I loved Mommy a little too much"), and the final lines, "If I sleep alone, If I sleep alone then I'm going home" bring the song full circle, indicating that the singer's pursuit of wealth and power has left him alone and disconnected from his humanity.


Overall, Rise Florida and Little One is a poignant reflection on the dangers of placing material wealth over human connections, and serves as a cautionary tale about the toll that such choices can take on a person's emotional state.
