Anywhere But Here
Five Finger Death Punch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some say the end is near
Some think it's all so hazy
I think it's all so clear
If it all ends tomorrow
If it all disappears
Where do you think you're going?
I don't claim to have the reasons
All I know is, if the world stops spinning tomorrow
I'd never shed a tear
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere
Anywhere but here
Some say they have the answers
Some say they know the truth
Some people live in question
Some people have no clue
If there was no tomorrow
If there was just today
Would you make different choices?
Or would you stay the same?
I don't claim to have the reasons
All I know is, if the world stops spinning tomorrow
I'd never shed a tear
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere
Anywhere but here
If there was no tomorrow
If there was no tomorrow
If there was no tomorrow
Would you stay, the same?
If there's no tomorrow
If there's no tomorrow
If there's no tomorrow
Would you stay, the same?
If the world stops spinning tomorrow
I'd never shed a tear
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere
Anywhere but here
If the world stops spinning tomorrow
I'd never shed a tear
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere
Anywhere but here
In the song "Anywhere But Here" by Five Finger Death Punch, the lyrics express a sense of apocalyptic thinking and a desire to escape impending doom. The opening lines of the song suggest that there is a sense of impending danger that some people can see coming, while others are unsure of what's going on. The singer of the song seems to be in the latter category, but expresses a clear desire to get away from the situation, wherever that might be.
The chorus of the song repeats the sentiment of wanting to be anywhere but here, with the singer suggesting that they would not be upset if the world were to end tomorrow. The second verse brings up the idea of choices, and asks whether people would make different choices if they knew there was no tomorrow. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, with the singer once again expressing a desire to be anywhere other than where they are in the present. Overall, the message of the song seems to be a desire to escape from whatever the present situation might be, whether it's feeling trapped in a particular place or facing something more existential.

Proverbios 7:10
10 Then out came a woman to meet him,
dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.
Proverbs 7:24-27
24 Now then, my sons, listen to me; pay attention to what I say.
25 Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths.
26 Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng.
27 Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death.
Ezekiel 16:40–41
40 They shall bring up a crowd against you, land they shall stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords. 41 lAnd they shall burn your houses and execute judgments upon you in the sight of many women. oI will make you stop playing the whore, and you shall also give payment no more.
Revelation 18:6
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

I've been listening to your music since 2022 I haven't heard every album yet but there are so many issues you addressed and solved in my life that I can't thank you enough for thanks Ivan and the whole FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH CREW

Like others have said, you hit on so many issues, addiction, depression, ect. It's the emotion and anger that really sends it home. I battled addiction for 12 years. I wasted money time and love all for the drugs. Each time the binge was over, I was so pissed at myself, but the next day, it would start all over again. It took hitting rock bottom and finding someone I loved more than the drugs and who loved me and was willing to be by my side through the end. This December will be 22 years sober and still in love. Hearing your music reminds me of those days and that others are currently struggling. You care through your music and that knowing that, there's hope for others that they can get back to living a life again. So, thank you and keep Rockin, brother.
