Against the Kitchen Floor tells the struggles of growing up and finally realising that no one owns your heart or body it is yours, and trying to accept and learn from failed relationships. In the song certain themes show up such as the need to apologise for being careless with someone’s heart, having difficulty understanding what “normal” people want, and even the feeling of loneliness while having a partner or companion. The song is ultimately about the past and how the person is willing to learn and commit to a better future. The person expresses that fact that they would be willing to die trying a true commitment to not wanting to make the same mistakes again.
