Frontman Matthew “Murph” Murphy explained of the track: "The idea behind ‘Blood On The Hospital Floor’ is that things that might seem difficult in life can often have a simple resolution. Things are not always as bad as they first may seem. The analogy of mopping up blood from the hospital floor - cleaning up the mess and keeping going."
