Five Finger Death Punch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never gonna die your way
Fuck No! Go away!
Never gonna try, never wonder why, never gonna change
No, say it, what
Never understand, never gave a damn
Never see it through your eyes
Never understand,
Never lend a hand
Never see it through my eyes
There's a fire within
Hate to admit it but always knew
Violence and sin,
Keeps me fearless
Keeps me from being
You, so dated
You, outdated
You, so fading away
You, can't take it
You, just fake it
You, are just in my way
I don't give a fuck about you!
I'm never gonna quit, never gave a shit
Never gonna walk away
Fuck you all day!
Never gonna drop, never gonna stop, never gonna fall
No, what, say it
Never understood, never really could
Never saw it through your eyes
Fuck off, no way!
Never understand, never give a damn,
Never gonna change my mind
There's a fire within
Hate to admit it but always knew
Violence and sin, keeps me fearless
Keeps me from being
You, so dated
You, outdated
You, so fading away
You, can't take it
You, just fake it
You, are just in my way
I don't give a fuck about you!
What!
Stand the fuck up!
I don't give a fuck about you!
You, so dated

Don't give a fuck about you!

Legitimate Morons
I love the way they add this song to the begining of house of the riseing sun it amazes me that the were able to go from a heavy song like this to a much lighter song like that and still put there own twist on it
Moppi
I remember a few years ago, I hadn't found this song as its own, so almost everytime I listened House of the rising sun I only listened this song's part.
Melonization
@Moppi haha same
Hope Rock
I'd never heard this song in full before but I always loved the beginning of House of the Rising Sun, except it always felt way too short. After some Googling I found this song and now it's probably my new favorite ffdp song.
JP jp
@Hope Rock that's exactly how I found this, and it's definitely in the top 5 since
Super Al
When you give all your love to someone and they throw it away.
You should blast this song out loud and always remember to never care about people who don't care about you. 💯
This is not just a song.
This is a lesson.
The Ram Quest 4 Advanture.
Damn they couldn't make a bad song if they tried!! One of the only bands that you can put in anyone of their CDs, or hell out all their CDs in, listen to them over and over and never skip one song!!
Joey Joint Jebaiter
The worst song they have in my opinion is This is War, but thats cause i've listened to it like a million times and not cause its bad
HU Soldier
This comment may have been viable but then f8 came out 😬
Joey Joint Jebaiter
@HU Soldier just because like 2 songs from F8 are skippable doesnt mean their music is bad
