On The Floor
Seahaven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you know that it's wrong, yet you still move it along.
And you find all in all, for yourself it's better off.
There's something you create that won't ever wash away.
Well you knew it was wrong. It is wrong.

So you buy and you sell the means of keeping you from hell.
But the Ghost on your trail can't seem to neglect a step.
There's a noose in his hand with a shape to fit your neck.
Keep on running from hell. This is hell.

Ain't it something when everything falls apart?
The ground you build upon determines if you'll fall.
It's slow motion as I watch it from the hall all come undone.
It's the past that leaves you on the floor.

Forgiveness comes with a humiliating clause.
It's the last thing you want, but the first to move forth.
Now your demons are sewn to your shoulder clearly shown.
It is your futile refrain from vulnerable.

Ain't it something when everything falls apart?
The ground you build upon determines if you'll fall.
It's slow motion as I watch it from the hall all come undone.
It's the past that leaves you on the floor.





As you fall, you faintly hear a familiar song, hum along, "hallelujah."
Now he's gone, as is the time you now have lost. We die alone, hallelujah.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Seahaven's song "On the Floor" explore the theme of guilt and the consequences of one's actions. The opening lines suggest that the singer is aware that what they are doing is wrong but chooses to continue regardless. They justify their actions by telling themselves that it is ultimately for their own benefit. However, this just creates a lasting sense of something terrible hanging over them that they cannot seem to escape. The "something" created is not something that can be washed away.


The rest of the song carries on this theme of guilt and its consequences. The singer tries to escape their destiny by buying and selling means to escape hell, but they know that this is futile. There is always a ghost on their trail, always a noose waiting for them. The song then goes on to suggest that the singer's demons are now a part of them, something they carry constantly. They can't escape the mistakes they have made, and the only thing left for them is to fall and face the consequences. The song concludes on a haunting note, suggesting that we all die alone with nothing left to accompany us but our regrets.


Overall, "On the Floor" explores a heavy theme with a mixture of resignation and defiance. The lyrics suggest that we are all responsible for our actions and cannot escape the consequences of our mistakes.

Come to me, come to me
Yeah, I'll be your friend
You're sitting alone
at home
With your open wrist that bleed all
over
Been notable years now
Well, it's easy for me
Yeah, Yeah
And maybe if I was
not so vain
Well maybe then I, would have seen it

Chorus
You will find yourself
in time
All it will take is some
time
Kown that all that it
will take is some time
I am furthest from
the sun Closest to roots of
the tree
You're not the only
one under shade suffering

You''ll hate her
forevermore
and you'll love her
the same
And she'll never
understand no
Cause life seems to work
that way
The Dark DNA intact
Leaves stain in your
brain
Yeah I know
That I am not all that
you see
Most of it you'd
never want to be

I need my degree
I'm breaking
Priority
I'm learning
All that is me
I will be
Not enough time
For trying

All that you are
Is much more
Than what you call
As your worth
You're foremost
Don't you forget
I love you
