Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl :
Is there something wrong?

Guy :
Ahhh.... I was just sorta, you know, thinkin' about tomorrow.

Girl :
Tomorrow?

Guy :
The lawyer said I'll probably get off; you know, probation or something like that
But he might be saying that afraid i'll jump bail and take off.

Girl :
What are you gonna do?

Guy :
I was thinking about cutting out to Florida tonight. [night,night,night,night]

Guy :
(i said) I'm thinking about getting lost down there.
You know, it's real warm down there;
[if i moved down there i could get a blanket and sleep]
Out on the beaches at night.

Girl :
Where will i find you? (what if i want you?)

Guy :
Yeah but hmm... I'm used to being independant
I couldn't be put in a cage or anything
And besides, you'll never wait.

Girl :
Yes I will.

Guy :
You say that now, but you don't really mean that.





Girl :
I will. i promise i will. [promise i will] {fade out}

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to RJD2's song "Cut Out to FL" revolve around a conversation between a couple discussing the potential consequences of legal trouble. The male in the dialogue appears to be the one facing legal issues and expresses concern about his potential sentence, explaining that the lawyer believes he will likely receive probation. However, he also considers the possibility that he might jump bail and run away to Florida that very night. The female counterpart responds with confusion but also with questions about his plan and where she could find him if she needed to.


The male vocalist then goes on to explain how he is drawn to Florida because it is warm and offers an opportunity for him to sleep on the beach at night. The female's concern deepens, and she worries about where she will find him if he goes to Florida, to which the male responds by pointing out that he values his independence too much to be caged and would not want to be held back. The female counters by insisting that she would wait for him, but the song fades out with uncertainty still in the air.


The song appears to capture a moment of intense tension between two characters caught in circumstances beyond their control. The male seems overwhelmed and desires escape, while the female seeks to hold onto him and keep him close in a time of trouble. The ambiguity of the ending leaves the listener wondering what will happen between them, which effectively heightens the emotional impact of the song.

The difference in beats between when the protagonist is thinking about himself versus when he is thinking about his girl is dope.

Anybody have any idea what he samples for this tune? It's reminding me of another really good track but I can't think of what it actually is for the life of me.

Track 3 from "A lot of people would like to see Armand Schaubroeck... DEAD!," called "Out On Bail, Armand Is Alone With Suzie (Night Before Sentencing) - Love For The Last Time."
