- Checkered Floor LyricsWinded through monotone
One foot on checkered floor
Head hung but still watching
One dimlit figurine
Concealed
Pass it on
Appeal
Play along
Please don't stop singing
Cohorts are empty jars
Concealed
Pass it on
Appeal
Play along
Meanwhile another scene
Tracking mud while blood letting
We've been so proud
Watch how our star behaves
We'll all roll in our graves
Sink with every word
While all their backs were turned
Meanwhile our little gem
Is sleeping with sycophants
But now and then we're joining in
Tracking mud while blood letting
We've been so proud
One foot on checkered floor
Head hung but still watching
One dimlit figurine
Concealed
Pass it on
Appeal
Play along
Please don't stop singing
Cohorts are empty jars
Concealed
Pass it on
Appeal
Play along
Meanwhile another scene
Tracking mud while blood letting
Watch how our star behaves
We'll all roll in our graves
Sink with every word
While all their backs were turned
Meanwhile our little gem
Is sleeping with sycophants
But now and then we're joining in
Tracking mud while blood letting
We've been so proud

✔️
When we look deeper into its meaning, Silversun Pickups' 'Checkered Floor' touches on the social double standard and the hollowness of pride while employing metaphors such as 'empty jars' and 'sleeping with sycophants' to express the moral decline and the effects of blind loyalty. The Checkered Floor lyrics predominantly represent angst, social commentary, reflection, despair and anger. Still, the song highlights the role of hypocrites and pride to the point of one's downfall. The lyrics speak to disillusionment, pride, and possibly betrayal, which are no longer simple but rather more matured and layered. The imagery of 'tracking mud while blood letting' implies a degree of violence and conflict that is not appropriate for children. Furthermore, the recurring line 'We've been so proud' might indicate a criticism of either societal or personal values that could be more demanding in terms of understanding the case in point, thus needing a mature audience.
