Title: You Never Hit A Clean Floor
Artist: FenVian Child
(Verse 1)
Used to believe in kitchen tile logic
Something I read in a wellness blog post
If it’s down for less than five, then you got it
A simple rule to salvage what you lost the most
I gave you the benefit of the brief doubt
Held my breath and started counting in my head
While you were spinning your excuses, I was trying to figure out
How to un-hear all the poison that you said
(Chorus)
But the transfer was instant, the damage was done
I’m fighting off the taste of your bad science
One second, one lie, was more than enough
To kill off this beautiful, stupid compliance
Good God, the mythology I bought from you, babe
Now I’m scrubbing at the floor with bleach and rage
'Cause my five-second rule for you is broken for sure
Yeah, you never hit a clean floor
(Verse 2)
I keep a list of all your sticky promises
Little notes on how you'd “do the work” and change
Just like a scientist denying their hypothesis
You rearrange the facts to make me look deranged
I held my trust out, open-palmed and delicate
And you dropped it with a careless little shrug
Thought I could pick it up, pretended I was over it
Just another pretty mess under the rug
(Chorus)
But the transfer was instant, the damage was done
I’m fighting off the taste of your bad science
One second, one lie, was more than enough
To kill off this beautiful, stupid compliance
Good God, the mythology I bought from you, babe
Now I’m scrubbing at the floor with bleach and rage
'Cause my five-second rule for you is broken for sure
Yeah, you never hit a clean floor
(Bridge)
It wasn’t the time, it was the surface, wasn’t it?
Wasn’t the fall, it was the filth it landed in
And this bacterial bloom in my good faith is definite proof
That the whole damn ground was compromised by you!
You were the spill, you were the grime, you were the stain
I’m throwing my book of rules into the goddamn rain!
(Guitar Solo - raw, frantic, and melodic, channeling the frustration of the bridge)
(Chorus)
'Cause the transfer was instant, the damage was done!
And I’m choking on the taste of your bad science!
Your one second, one lie, was more than enough!
I’m burning down my beautiful compliance!
Good God, the mythology I bought from you, babe!
I can’t get clean, I’m scraping at the stage!
Yeah my five-second rule for you is broken for sure!
You never hit a clean floor! No!
You never hit a clean floor!
About The Song
"You Never Hit A Clean Floor" uses a recent scientific debunking of the "five-second rule" as a powerful metaphor for relationship contamination. The news that bacterial transfer to dropped food is nearly instantaneous, regardless of the time it spends on the ground, sparked the core idea: some toxic actions in a relationship don't have a grace period. They taint things instantly. The song's protagonist is wrestling with the angry realization that she gave someone the benefit of a doubt (the "five seconds") when the person's character (the "floor") was already filthy. There was no saving the trust she dropped. Musically, it channels the explosive, conversational angst of modern pop-punk, using driving guitars and a cathartic chorus to convey the rage of realizing a comforting personal "rule" was just a myth.
Production Notes
Genre: Pop-Punk / Alt-Rock
Instrumentation: The track should be built on a foundation of a tight, punchy drum groove and a driving, slightly overdriven bassline (think Mike Dirnt). Dual rhythm guitars (panned hard left/right) should use heavy palm-muting in the verses to create space for the vocals, then open up into full power chords for the explosive choruses.
Vocals: The lead vocal performance is key. Verses should be delivered with a close-mic'd, almost conversational cynicism (Shure SM7B is ideal). In the chorus, the vocal should be layered and powerful, with a central aggressive track and wider-panned harmony tracks to create a wall of sound. Apply subtle pitch correction to keep it tight, but leave in the raw energy. For the bridge, automate a light distortion/saturation plug-in to rise with the vocal intensity, making it feel like the singer is shouting into a breaking microphone.
Mix: The mix needs to be dynamic. Keep the verses relatively contained and dry, then use automation to make the chorus explode with stereo width and reverb. Use sidechain compression on the bass and rhythm guitars, keyed to the kick and snare, to ensure the drums cut through the wall of sound and maintain their punch. The final master should be loud and impactful without sacrificing the dynamic leap between the verse and chorus.
