Under and Over It
Five Finger Death Punch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah go!

Did you hear the one about me being a punk?
Did you hear the one about me, being a drunk?
So did you hear the one about me losing my nerve?
Or how I'm just another fucking sheep in the herd?
Did you hear about the money, how it made me change?
So funny to me, all the time that they waste!
Did you hear the one about me, giving a shit?
Cause if I ever did, I don't remember it!

You can be me, and I will be you.
You can live just like a star.
I'll take my sin,
And you take the fame!
I'm under and over it all
I'm under and over it!

Did you hear the one about me playing the game?
Selling my soul and changing my name.
Did you hear the one about me being a prick?
Did you know I don't care? You can suck my
D-Did you hear the one about me trying to die?
Fist in the air and a finger to the sky.
Do I care if you hate me? Do you wanna know the truth?
C'est la vie, adios, good riddance, fuck you!

You can be me and I will be you.
You can live just like a star.
I'll take my sanity, you take the fame.
I'm under and over it all.
(I'm under and over it.)
I'm, I'm, I'm under and over it.
I'm, I'm, I'm under and over it.

You can be me and I will be you.
You can live just like a star.
I'll take my sanity, you take the fame.
I'm under and over it all.
(I'm under and over it.)
I'm under and over it all.
(I'm under and over it.)




I'm, I'm, I'm under and over it.
I'm, I'm, I'm under and over it.

The opening lines ask if we've heard rumors of the singer being a punk or a drunk—accusations and insults that come with being in the public eye. The next lines discuss the idea of giving in to the pressure of money and changing as a result. This idea is emphasized by the repetition of the phrase "under and over it," perhaps reflecting a sense of exhaustion or feeling overwhelmed by it all. The singer then talks about playing the game of fame, selling his soul, and not caring about what others think of him. The final lines assert the singer's power and independence, suggesting that he doesn't care about his haters or the rumors that swirl around him.


Overall, the song offers a commentary on the challenges of fame and the way it makes people vulnerable to criticism and rumor. It also highlights the ways in which success can change people, bringing up issues of identity and authenticity. Despite the negative aspects of fame, however, the singer asserts his power and individuality, refusing to be defined by the opinions of others.
