I Will
Bruts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can get by without electricity
So you don't need to lend me money
I'm out most of the day
And it's not long before I get paid
If you're cold, hungry
Put on a coat
I've bread (?)
You can't tell if it's toast
You're always welcome to crash on my floor
There's no key or lock for the door

I know what it looks like
And I can tell you're not impressed
I don't know what I'm doing
But it's feeling like success

A pile of clothes, just been laundered
Drying damp in a bag on the corner
I'd love some tea, but you won't find a cup
I've been using this saucepan to avoid washing up
You're cold and hungry
Put on a coat
I've bread
You can tell it's not toast
You're always welcome to crash on my floor
There's no key or lock for the door

I don't know what I'm doing
But it's feeling like success
Life is what you make it
And I've made mine a mess

Sunlight comes in a few hours a day
But only I see it, 'cause no one's awake
On the floor, strangers starting to surface
Ashtrays and coffee cups sharing a purpose

I'm young and nothing can harm me
I've sold all my records to pay for a party
I'm still drunk, but that's alright
I've been staying out every night
You're always welcome to crash on my floor
There's no key or lock for the door
I'm ignoring my grown-up problems as
I've got no idea how to solve them

I will survive
(I will survive)
I will survive
(I will survive)
I will survive
(I will survive)
I will survive




(I will survive)
I will survive

Overall Meaning

In Bruts's song "I Will," the lyrics describe a scene of someone who is living a simple, almost minimalist lifestyle. The singer states that they can get by without electricity and don't need to borrow money. They also mention that they are out most of the day and get paid quickly. The tone is somewhat dismissive of anyone who might criticize the singer for their lifestyle, as they advise anyone cold or hungry to simply put on a coat and eat a piece of bread. They say that anyone is always welcome to crash on their floor, and there is no key or lock on the door.


The lyrics suggest that the singer might not have everything together, but they are content with their life. They admit that they don't know what they're doing, but it feels like success to them. They describe a pile of clothes that has just been laundered and is drying in a bag on the corner. There is no cup for tea, so they use a saucepan to avoid doing the dishes. Despite these less-than-ideal circumstances, the singer maintains that they will survive.


The last few verses describe a party atmosphere, with strangers starting to surface and ashtrays and coffee cups sharing a purpose. The singing saying they've sold all their records to pay for the party and is still drunk but is alright with staying out every night. They are ignoring their problems and admitting they have not much of an idea how to solve them. The whole song paints a picture of someone who is making the most of what they have, even if it's not much, and who is determined to survive on their own terms.
