Bound For The Floor
Local H Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I've learned all my lessons before now
Born to be down
I think you'll get used to it
And you just don't get it
You keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it
Born to be down
I think that I've said this before now
Born to be down
What good is confidence?
And you just don't get it
You keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it
You know it's so pathetic
And you don't
even see it
The lyrics to Local H's song Bound For The Floor explore the theme of acceptance of one's insecurities and limitations. The repetition of the phrase "born to be down" highlights a feeling of resignation and acceptance of a life that will always be plagued by difficulties and setbacks. The lyrics suggest that the song's narrator has learned to accept their circumstances, but the frustration of not being understood or supported by others still weighs heavily on them. The line "what good is confidence?" calls into question the value of false bravado in the face of adversity.
The chorus of the song is particularly impactful, as the repetition of the lines "and you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic, and you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic" creates a sense of frustration and resignation. The song seems to be a call for empathy towards those who are struggling with their insecurities, as well as a call to embrace one's true self and stop pretending to be someone they're not.

@anachronologist2017
Such a simple riff, but it hits so hard it ingrains itself in your brain for decades. What a masterpiece of rock music this is.
@johannavanderpool1796
I woke up with this song stuck in my head. Haven't heard it in FOREVER... That's how ingrained it is LOL
@TheChristalLove
I think the simplicity is what allows it to rock. Just came back to this song recently since they don't make rock mainstream anymore.
@codystrom8708
@@TheChristalLovesome new rock is still ok but nothing beats the feeling you get from this era and 90s rock/grunge style! Nostalgia big time
