Florida Guilt
Bay Faction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stomach empty
Would you dry my sweat?
I'm been burning up a twenty
And my health won't change
I don't pay attention
I feel no pain
I just can't let loose
Spin around the city like a drill bit
Talk through every window
Tell them how I feel
I just want to feel permanent
Skinny, cute, and comfortable
But can't I can't get that
I keep my teeth clean
For two weeks
Shaken up, headachy, caked in
Wake up queasy
Lost my conviction
Honestly, I think that's good
Hope my body's young enough
To feel you like I should
The lyrics of Bay Faction's "Florida Guilt" show a narrator who has an apathetic attitude towards their own well-being. They are willing to smoke weed regardless of its condition and are unaware of their own discomfort since their priorities lie elsewhere. The singer also talks about wanting to be a permanent figure in the world and being comfortable with themselves. However, they are struggling to achieve this sense of self-contentment. The line "Skinny, cute, and comfortable but can't I can't get that" is indicative of their desire for something that they are unable to attain despite their efforts.
The next verse further delves into the singer's disconnection from themselves. They mention keeping their teeth clean for two weeks, indicating a sense of neglect towards their hygiene recently. They are feeling physically ill, shaken, and headachy, which seems to be the result of substance use. Despite feeling queasy, the singer is still trying to hold onto a sliver of hope that their youth will persist so they can feel something they desire. The lyrics give off an air of confusion and dissatisfaction, with the singer feeling unfulfilled and uncertain about their place in the world.

"I just wanna feel permanent.
Skinny, cute, and comfortable.
But I can't get that."
Good grief, that chorus... And everything else... For real, every one of your songs ruins me in the best and most excellent of ways.
