To Be Alone
Five Finger Death Punch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey you
Can you tell me when enough is enough?
When you've pushed enough buttons and it's time to back up?
Well, would you know when someone else has had enough of you?
(Of you) Of you
(yes, you)

Just take a second, you should listen to yourself
Everybody is to blame, but no one else is around
Is any of it sinking in and making sense to you?
(Of you) Yes, you
(It's true)

Is there no means to an end?

So tell me, how does it feel to know that no one is coming?
No one is running
When you hit the ground (you hit the ground)
How does it feel to know that no one's around you?
No one will be there
When you hit the ground (you hit the ground)
How does it feel?
How does it feel to be alone?

Well, now that I've got you here and you're all alone
Is there anyone you need to call before we move on?
Well, is there anybody out there thinking of you? (It's true)
Of you (yes, you)

I can see the empty look in your eyes
Like someone came along, stole your heart, and left you to die, yeah
I know the feeling 'cause you did the same things to me
(Of you) It's true
(It's true)

Is there a means to the end?

So tell me, how does it feel to know that no one is coming?
No one is running
When you hit the ground (you hit the ground)
How does it feel to know that no one's around you?
No one will be there
When you hit the ground (you hit the ground)
How does it feel?
How does it feel to be alone?
To be alone

So tell me, how does it feel to know that no one is coming?
No one is running
When you hit the ground (you hit the ground)
How does it feel to know that no one's around you?
No one will be there
When you hit the ground (you hit the ground)
How does it feel?
How does it feel to be alone?

Overall Meaning

The song "To Be Alone" by Five Finger Death Punch is a very introspective song that delves into feelings of loneliness and isolation. The lyrics suggest that the singer is speaking to someone who has caused harm to themselves or others, and is now feeling the effects of their actions. They ask if this person has ever stopped to listen to themselves, to consider the consequences of their actions. The repeated question "how does it feel to be alone?" emphasizes the importance of connecting with others and avoiding self-destructive behavior.


The lyrics also touch on themes of accountability and responsibility, as well as the idea of an uncertain future. The singer implies that no one is safe from the consequences of their actions and that there is no one else to blame but themselves. The line "Everybody is to blame, but no one else is around" is particularly poignant, suggesting that even though others may contribute to our problems, ultimately, we are responsible for our own lives.


Overall, "To Be Alone" is a powerful and emotional song that encourages self-reflection and introspection. Through its thoughtful lyrics and haunting melody, it asks important questions about our relationships with others and ourselves.

8 straight fucking albums of pure raw anger and emotion and sadness to the most talented end ! I'm impressed it only takes a year and half for these guys to make a 14 song album that's badass

@jaysarandrea5000

Can't wait to see what comes next. If this album is their rebirth, as they've called it, I'm pumped to see what follows
