"Bound for the Floor" is a song by American alternative rock duo Local H, released as the first single from their 1996 album, As Good as Dead.

The song's angst-driven lyrics deal with a lack of confidence and frustration which is strongly reflected in the overall performance.

Like many of Local H's songs, the guitar tuning is a half step down from standard.

A music video was produced for "Bound for the Floor," which features a performance by the band strung with shots of a school building.

[citation needed] "Bound for the Floor" was featured in the 2006 film Big Nothing, starring Simon Pegg and David Schwimmer, as well as in the Xbox 360 video game Saints Row (also from 2006).
