Five Finger Death Punch - The Tragic Truth (Official Music Video)

- Official music video for The Tragic Truth performed by Five Finger Death Punch.
We wrote “Tragic Truth” in 2011 for the “American Capitalist” album, but it simply wasn’t finished by the manufacturing deadline. Since the song was very important to us, we didn’t want to wait and hold it until the following album, so it was added as a bonus track to the digital edition.
Consequently, it never really got the attention we intended for it and a lot of our fans are not even aware of its existence. It’s been a conversation for years to somehow circle back to this song, and we felt right now, on Ivan’s birthday, and two months from his 4th sober anniversary it is probably as good of an occasion as it can be to release this music video; as it is a visual journal of our story ... The battle with addiction... the pain... the chaos ... life and even death. A celebration of a victory, Ivan’s rebirth into a new life.
It is also a message for those who are battling addiction right now: you are more than your addiction, and you are never alone. Seek help, fight back, it’s never too late... Ivan came back from the dead, literally. He was so far gone, if he can do it - you can do it. Let this be a testament to that.
So, with that said, Happy Birthday Ivan!
Congratulations on your new lease on life.
And thank YOU to all the fans who stood by us all these years, supported us, supported him, and have been the catalyst of his recovery.

"You are more than your addiction, and you are never alone"
Thank you.
Lyrics:
I'm drowning in the bottom of a bottle.
Running from a man I swore I'd never be.
No one ever has to face tomorrow.
But I'm the one that has to face me.
It's the demons I've created for myself.
The tragic truth.
It's hard for me to understand myself.
So it has to be hard as hell for you! (For you! You!)
Are we born to be broken, sinners, and thieves?
Someone tell the heavens I'm ready to escape! (You!)
This is not what I wanted not what I need!
Take it all, tear it all, rip it all away!
I can't say the Devil made me do it.
I chose to be the one I am, the way I am today.
I wish there was but there's no way around it.
In the end I made the choice and will not die ashamed.
It's the voices screaming in my head.
The tragic truth.
It's hard for me to understand myself.
So it has to be hard as hell for you! (You! You!)
Are we born to be broken, sinners, and thieves?
Someone tell the heavens I'm ready to escape! (You!)
This is not what I wanted not what I need!
Take it all, tear it all, rip it all away!
Take it all, tear it all, take it all, tear it all away!
Are we born to be broken, sinners, and thieves?
Someone tell the heavens I'm ready to escape! (You!)
This is not what I wanted not what I need!
Take it all, tear it all, rip it all away! (Away!)
Are we born to be broken, sinners, and thieves?
Someone tell the heavens I'm ready to escape! (You!)
This is not what I wanted not what I need!
Take it all, tear it all, rip it all away!
Take it all, tear it all, rip it all, tear it all! (It all away)
Someone tell the heavens to take it all, tear it all away!
5FDP and Disturbed both bringing awareness to mental health, depression, and substance abuse struggles really helps show the world that this shit is real and it sucks. Been dealing with depression and drinking problems for awhile now but knowing there's a way out and a potential end to this pain gives me hope and I hope it does the same for those who are also struggling too.
Agreed on FFDP and Disturbed.
Potential? You can do it mate!!!
FIGHT YOUR DEMONS inside, seek help, you're WORTH it.
Kudos.
Very true(.)
@Fire_EMS711
First and foremost, thank you for your service. I also walk the red line and gold line as a 911 dispatcher. These demons we face are not for the faint of heart.
Just a week or so I had a woman begging me to get the ambulance there faster while her daughter was doing cpr on her own father. Don't be afraid to talk to someone if needed man.
I know it is embedded into our history to just bury it and move on, but you can only bury so much. One day at a time brother!
The "don't tell the fans" breaks my heart every time. Proud of you Ivan.
❤️🤘
❤❤❤
I thought he said don't tell the feds...
Yes…..🤣🤣🤣……me too…..😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fucking hand of your daughter got me, I do not see myself leaving this fucking world at all because of my daughter, the best thing that has ever happened to me are my children, I am so glad you’ve been on the road to recovery Ivan, never ever give up. 👊🏻
The childless don't know how the little ones are literally God's angels sent down to save us. They think they know what life is... And yet it isn't until you have your own that you realize heaven does exist.
@@iamwhoyousayiam6773 It is also when you plan to have children and it is all ripped away and you are left asking... "Why me?" I had Ovarian Cancer. Because I have grief over losing all chances of having children myself, I have been told that I cannot possibly give a child who has lost it all themselves (lost all of their family, for whatever reason) a loving home.
@NrG Mugsy Give your children a huge hug. Children are a blessing that many who have them do not always appreciate until the child(ren) are ripped away. my husband and I are still dealing with the grief and rage over losing the ability to have children ourselves. I hope to get to a point one day that I will be able to adopt a child, and give them the loving home they deserve.
the fucking hand
@@iamwhoyousayiam6773 For you to type something like this, with no regard for the people who cannot have children through no fault of their own. Lets just say that if you ever said something like that where I could hear it, you wouldn't be around anymore.
Damn this song hits home. I've been fighting the demons of addiction all my life but hitting rock bottom last year .I now have 11 months drug and alcohol free.
Melissa ~ I just wanted to be the first to tell you WAY TO GO! on 11 months of living drug and alcohol-free. That is truly an accomplishment to be proud of.
I know that by now, you must have your one-year chip, if that’s your thing, so CONGRATULATIONS, (from someone who knows.)
I came across your Comment, somewhat by accident, while watching a Best-Of video compilation. I was about 60 seconds in when I decided it wasn’t “for me,” and I was getting ready to skip to the next one, but got curious about what was being said by those who had actually SEEN it. When I read Comment, after Comment, after Comment, some of which had to be translated into English for me to understand; filled with individuals’ love and support for not just Ivan, whose story I do not yet know, but others who suffer with their own demons of addiction; I knew that it’s definitely something I should see.
To invoke such KNOWING, such understanding of others’ struggles; and on a Comments board, at that!
Music has always played a huge part in who I am, so I can’t wait to experience the video that brought so many wonderfully expressive, like-minded individuals together. Because when you know, you know.
Congrats, again, Melissa! I am praying for you, and each person who left a Comment, who suffers from the disease of addiction and/or loves someone who does, to “Hang in there ~ your future self will love you for it!”
So proud of your accomplishment…. This song drew me to the comments and I’m in a fierce battle with getting rid of this addiction
Hang in there please. 1985 here, life is up and down, but never drunk!
I used to get high in drug treatment and prison.But after my mom died I've been clean.7 years.
Drugs and Drink wasn't the problem I was . Clean time isn't the same as treatment time.When you stop counting the months and people don't know you got Trax marks and people start saying you used too.Those days are coming.The high cost of living ain't like the high cost of living High.
The part when he said "Don't tell the fans" my god that hit so damn hard..
Yes, it hit a spot.
For real! News got out eventually but I remember Ivan was reluctant to talk about it during his live sessions on instagram.
That definitely hit, felt sad right there
When did he say that ?
@@tiffanydott6531 when the paramedics woke him from being blacked out on the floor. He didn't want the fans know he drank until he blacked out
i'm proud of you ivan and everyone here that struggle with addiction. You are all loved.
Sometimes it's not the love but the hate that you have to kill with alcohol
@@k0sm0naf777 depression is why I drink it kills what’s killing me
It's also loneliness an stressed out it's easy to be addicted to anything
The ones who fight and manage the beat addiction is already admirable as it is but doing it in a place where alcoholism and all sin of many kinds is practically overflowing is nearly God level
Yessir@@richardthomas7157
I’m struggling myself with alcohol today. I hope i have you’re strength
I hear you brother. One day at a time. Hardest thing is telling the truth to someone. Much respect
The hardest part is admitting it to yourself. @@danskeeloNotHacked
I pray that you have that one person who will always be there for you in your time of need. But there can also be someone who you don't know that you are comfortable to open up to at your pace
I’m crying now, knowing addiction and being suicidal I felt this as I do with all FFDP songs. The message at the end and the headlines about Ivan just pushed me over the edge. I probably wouldn’t be here today without the music these guys have made. Letting me know that I am more than what brought me down. FFDP Is by far the best band to exist, not just bc of the songs but bc of what they stand for. My life goes out to these guys, hope that I can meet y’all in person some day. Thanks for what you do. You’ll probably never see this but that’s ok, you guys have done more than enough for me already.
Facts
This song help me out i. Agree with you about everything you said
This song is a perfect mirror image of life for me! Alcoholism/Drug addiction and 2 attempts on my own life. I could guzzle that much every night for years....waking up on the floor in my own vomit😟But I made it through and I'm glad you did two!!
Awesome video to an emotional song. The clip at the end of Ivan pulling the strings of his demons was a neat way of showing he’s in control of his life now, not the alcohol. Congratulations on 42 months sober and keep it going Ivan!
He is the master of puppets now
So True💯
Agreed
Perfect analysis
Awesome song and.vid
Congratulations on getting sober,Ivan.much love and light sent,love you! Thank you so much for all the really awesome music,and for the deep thoughts and messages therein
Keep em coming,and blessings to youandthe band in theNew Year.💖❣❤💯✌🙏
Overseas when this came out and still struggling. Thank you for your sobriety!
You are not alone
To share such raw emotion... that's a kind of magic in itself. So proud of Ivan and how far he's come, and proud af to say I'm a Knucklehead!
This touches home for me and so many of my veteran brothers! It becomes so easy to drown the civilian world out after returning home from deployments. Misunderstood, and not knowing how to truly adjust back to the lifestyle drinking and drugs becomes second nature. An easy out!
Never disappointed with your music Ivan! You’ve helped me and my brothers through more than you will ever understand.
Stay strong all of you. FFDP has really been therapy and to show something like this truly requires something special.
Very well said sir. Thank you for your service. Nothing but respect for you. 😎👍
Thank you for your service and never stop fighting for your brothers!
So true, been on that road ever sience i got out. It a hard life.
The scene in the The Hurt Locker when he is staring at all the cereals really truly hit Me.
Thanks 12 yrs sober inspiration for everything
My mom overdosed in April and y’all are all that keeps me going I played gone away at her funeral. Thank you for putting music out that I can relate to and helps me hold on. Even just a little.
Gone away is a very special song, it makes me think of my dead grandpa every time. Somehow it makes me sad but also consoles me at the same time. I'm sorry for your loss and all the best wishes to you and your family
😔🙏💞
Keep your head up. Metal people are small in numbers, but large in will.
My ex husband committed suicide we also played gone away at his funeral 😞
Gone away was a good remake. They did a good job
Очень сильный посыл тем,кто борется с какой либо зависимостью,ни кому лучше не попадать в эти цепи ада и безумия.FFDP спасибо,что не боитесь говорить о подобном за это я вас и люблю
@Серёга Одинсон Ну в жизни всякое может случиться и не каждый в силах справиться вот и прибегают к крайностям
@Серёга Одинсон Достойно уважения
CYKA BLYAT
@Серёга Одинсон Но не каждый способен на подобное и это похвально
@Серёга Одинсон очень сильное заблуждение...
I’m glad this song is getting the attention it deserves. I first heard it back in 2011. This song aged better than I did.
Congrats on 3.5 years Ivan. We’re all proud of you.
Brought tears to my eyes before the video even started. To everyone battling their inner demons I wish you all the best.
Two years sober today 🙏 this song brings me to tears but on a good way also to anyone and anybody that relate with this don't give up. Keep kicking and no matter what you will make it blessings to all of you🙏
Man I can't believe what Ivan has accomplished since his previous bands Black Blood Orchestra and Motograter. Congrats on sobriety, keep on becoming a legend man.
Ghost Machine as well...🤘🏼
This song is one of the few songs that keeps me from sinking back into my problem with drinking my sorrows away. This song means so much to me. I cry every time I see it. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. It really helps me so much.
find something you love and pour yourself into it, believe in you and keep going away from old habits.
#Sup Budd. I just found it and made me realize going back to cocaine wasn't worth it
27 yrs sober, relapsed and survived it! 657 days sober today!! Congratulations on 42 months! My sponsor has 44 years sober and is hard core old school AA!! My prayers 🙏 for those still in active addiction!! ✌️
Please don't feel bad about relapsing! Alcoholism isn't something that you "get over". You'll always fight those demons. I've never had an alcohol problem, bit I struggled with anorexia in my early 20s, was down to 92 lbs. It was bad. I still get those thoughts, occasionally, it normal. But you gotta keep pushing forward! Congrats on the new number! Keep going, stay strong! ❤❤
Incredible video. ♥️
Great to see u here
Huge fan of Five Finger Death Punch!👊🏽
I truly appreciate this song on so many levels. Ive been battling my demons and mental health problems for 19 years now. This band always gets me thru and gives me hope! Thank u 5FDP for understanding the world n relating it in ur music for the masses!
Приезжайте в Россию, ребята! У нас нет депрессии, алкоголиков и наркоманов на улицах, у нас нет нищих и бездомных. У нас есть работа и прекрасные женщины, и мужчины.
Смысл жизни даёт наша культура и православие. А какая у нас природа! Приезжайте все!
Wow, this was powerful. I don't drink or smoke, but I know those who have been addicted to drinking. It sucks. It takes people away. Ivan, great job. Thanks for still being here and bringing so many of us together with your music.
Man, this video hit the feels. I remember when Ivan went through all that shit and it sucked being a fan just to see everyone shitting on him. Personally, I don't think they knew the extent of it, but we're all really glad you're still here, Ivan! You're doing a lot better and I know that we all can't wait to see what 2022 and the future holds for you guys!
Amen brother.
I have been a huge fan for a long long time and that truly did suck!!!! I thought for sure we were going to read one day that Ivan Moody passed away. From the sounds of it, it was just a matter of time. So glad he chose the road to recovery and is back 110% kicking ass!!!!
I stopped listening to them a while ago but I’m happy for Ivan. Addiction blows and I’m happy to see him overcome it.
That's how I feel about Bam Margera right now.
As an combat veteran. Ex paramedic and cocaine addict (recovered) this band has really spoken to me and helped me with may ghosts of my past. When I start looking to fall back one of their videos pop up and make me clear my head.
Thank you for you service Rob! Stay strong! You got this!
I just had this song come on my youtube and wow....im 48 and been struggling with addiction for yrs. This is powerful. Going to add it to my playlist cause I'm going to win this fight thanks guys ☮☯️💙
You are strong and amazing and you can do this
Keep fighting. Every day is a different battle than the previous. People who haven't been there don't understand how difficult of a fight it is unless they have gone through it first hand. If you don't/ haven't, go to meetings. At the end of the serenity prayer we always said "Just for today". It's all you can do is one day at a time.
Leslie, I just wanted to give you a shout-out. I am 51. I have been clean a number of years now, but that does not mean my struggles disappeared. I really needed to read your Comment tonight, as a reminder that I am not alone. You hang in there, and I will do the same. Much love to you!
I respect Ivan for making this, No matter how many times he has battled with his own demons, He pushed through. I couldn't imagine this being easy for him to make. Ivan I don't know if you will ever see this, but your dedicated to your fans, our troops who risk their life's, your a great man, and we're here for you.
Up to you to control them
It happens to anyone not just because of the fame or being rich or poor! This is a message to all of us people and being that's in the video may help others to over come what we call demons we all have them deep inside its up to you to control them not for them to control you!
ABSOLUTELY!!!
I have been sober since August 1991. To this day I take it one day at a time. I'm proud of him.
@@Jimyatit exactly
addiction is a living hell that most will never understand thank you for giving us hope that we can recover
Been there. Struggled for a long time. 14 years off and on. I have been clean almost 3 years now. You have to really want to change your life. Sometimes for some people it takes hitting rock bottom or something very tragic or even nearly dying to end the cycle of addiction. It's a hard road. I am proud of the progress I have made and still getting better in time.
There is always hope. There is always faith. That's what keeps us going.
Going through a very dark time. Lost my wife almost 2 years ago. Bottle has been my best friend. But this really hits home and personal note for me. Appreciate the song and 5FDP for life!
I feel the need to tell you shes sending you messages through songs and small animals
Hang in there R.Hopkins ♥️
Dude put it down. Your best friend is yourself not that bottle. I'm sorry for your loss I truly am I write this with my most sincere condolences and my deepest sympathies to you and everyone else like us. You're not alone. Reach out for help. It's hard to do in this darkness that surrounds us I know. You should continue to live for her. What youre doing right now ain't living. You know it. I'm proud of you man! If Ivan can do it anyone can...
Never thought a metal song would bring tears to my eyes, choke me with soft emotion.
It was the whispers at the end of the bottle . The inaudible ones .....the ones we tell ourselves. The horrible things we start to believe .....that choked me up
@@Doyamn For all his parading as a baddie and a loony, Ivan actually has such a sweet-natured side to him, bless his heart.
As a combat veteran, this song got me thru some very dark times trapped in my own mind. For that I thank you and I love that you made a video for it especially explaining your own struggles. Thank you
I'm right there with you, when my family and neighbors hear 5FDP playing from my garage, they have learned to let me deal with it on my own terms. If I get lost to deep in my own head, I can get a bit self-destructive and forget how to be a decent person. They have a way of pulling my head out of my self-hate pit and accept my demons I can't excise, but don't make anymore. Can't forgive myself, but I can offset them doing anything to help someone in need.
Thank you for your service, I really mean that, it's not easy coming home
Intense. Love how instead of hiding his demons, as most do. Ivan chose to put them right in your face.
Eu amo essa banda, me faz querer lutar sempre ! Você não está sozinho, vença os demônios que querem te afundar!! Você consegue!!
Eles me ajudaram muito também, a lidar com a depressão. Sempre vou ser grato a esses caras. Mesmo que a formação tenha passado por mudanças nos últimos quatro anos a essência da banda continua. O vocalista compõe letras que fazem a gente se identificar e associar com situações que a gente já passou. Poucos liricistas/compositores conseguem esse feito.
Cara 5fdp esta em outro nível.. que produção...ivan mood e um puta artista .. os cara sao foda ... o vídeo e muito bem elaborado que historia de superação foda.. só aumenta ainda mais a vontade de fazer uma tatoo com o logo do 5fdp.
Essa banda é incrível
Ae galera,assistam meu React dessa musicona. Essa banda é foda demais 🤘🏻
There's always a reason to fight. If you're struggling, look hard around you. You are loved. Congrats to Ivan on his continued sobriety. Happy Birthday, man.
Hello 👋
How are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful time over there ?
Your comment and likes warm my heart always and that why I tried to reached out to you today 😘😘.
Thanks for your love and support towards me dreams and carrier!!
Seven years ago, I considered myself a fan of this group. Today, I can always say with certainty that Five Finger Death Punch will remain in my heart forever. Seeing this clip, I cried, but with joy, seeing Ivan defeat his demons. And if you read this review by chance, know that you are the best. Take care of you and your family.
This songs makes my heart go out to everyone who is fighting their own demons. Alcohol and drugs is only a few. There are many, many out there.
This song alone with several other from Ivan have gotten me thru a lot, just keeping the thought on my mind that ending isn’t the only option, there’s a lot more in life to live for, ending it will solve nothing, it will end my pain but just give twice as much to everyone that actually cared. Bless these men for everything they do and I thank them for that, if they didn’t exist I would have never made it this far
Being a mother to a child who was addicted to Heroin, I give you heart felt congratulations Ivan on your sobriety OF 42 month's. Your band members are your family that surrounds you and SUPPORTS you . What a WONDERFUL family and friendship that you all have GOD BLESS
Внутренние демоны.. демоны, которых мы сами порождаем в своем разуме... Каждый день и каждую ночь мы боремся с ними. Кто то терпит поражение и уходит, и еще один огонек гаснет среди миллиона других. Кто то побеждает, и хочется бесконечно радоваться за таких людей, поскольку свою силу они обрели.
А всем тем, кто продолжает свою борьбу желаю только одного - не сдаваться.
Очень хорошая, сильная тема.
Keep fighting. From Russia with love.
No matter what ever happens to the ffdp crew they deserve the best, tribute to veterans, people with addictions real shit.
I have been fighting my mental state for two years, in november 2019 we lost my mother and that didn’t make this experience easier. Your music has, been screaming feeling things i didn’t dare to face alone at first. Thank you for putting music to some of my battles and with God got me through. The battle is and always will be mine, but it makes things easier. Again, thank you!! Love from Sweden!!
Strongs man.
That takes a backbone my friends. Still struggling (myself) with recovery. Founding strenght in music.
Good Job, Ivan and never give up.
You've got this. Don't give it up. Keep fucking going
Sadly, this is relatable. Growing up I always despised my dad for being an alcoholic, now those demons are looming over me. When we tell someone to just stop, we need to realize that it's the addiction we should also be talking to 🙏
I missed this song initially as it was only on iTunes for a while, but this has honestly become one of my top five favorites. I try to listen to it once a day.
As a person who has dealt with Addiction for a good chunk of their life and has been sober for almost 10 years I really applaud you Ivan. The drinking Meth weed cocaine and Shrooms was leading me down a rabbit hole of Destruction a hole that I thought I would never get out of a hole I deemed my grave because I just didn't care about myself first and foremost and also my family the ones who pulled me out the hole if I told anyone that dealing with Sobriety was easy I would be lying it is a Constant struggle not to pick up the Bottle again when something goes wrong or to want to hit the pipe when your depressed but with people keeping up my spirits and Encouraging me to stay sober I can truly say I am blessed and what works for one may not for another you have to find what works to help keep you sober Thankyou Ivan and the rest of FFDP for a great song and Video....
As someone who relapses to this day and uses to escape from their demons and ptsd, as well as a musician and song writer. This brought me to tears. Understanding the shame of being resuscitated and being asked what you took, dreading the look in your mother's eyes if she ever found out. The shame even to tell the nurses and doctors.
I'm glad your sober man.
Hopefully one day I can kick my demons. I just pray.
This song helped me when I was struggling and I was addicted to alcohol. I lost a lot of friends and family. Thank you FFDP for making songs that have meaning.
Keep it up guys, you rock and your music has helped me through so many dark times in my life, thank you so much
❤
I concur.
Same here, keep being great and making music that helps fans with there life's. Without Five finger Death Punch and Metallica I would not be walking the earth today. Music is Life
Amen. It helped me through struggles with my self image, dealing with my father's death (diary of a deadman), my mother's death in 2020 (brighter side of grey), and so many more situations.
This is a dark world finding Jesus is the light that over powers the dark that encompasses us all everyday. The demons are subjected under the foot of Jesus.
This song hits home 🏡 hard. I'm a recovering alcoholic. It was a battle to quit. I got help. I realized I needed help. I'm 3 years sober this past 4 of July.
This is why FFDP is one of my all time favorites. Real music from deep within. Love y’all’s music man. Congrats on the 42 months. Don’t ever stop moving forward bettering yourselves.
This song will never not make me a sobbing mess. And now that it finally got such an incredibly powerful video I am EVEN MORE MOVED. Lord help me
I don't really have the words to express just how grateful I am to this band and to Ivan. I'm still struggling with my own demons, but I'm trying my hardest.
💖💖🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻for you always Ivan! So glad you got out of the grips of addiction! I lost my only two brothers one year apart to drug over doses! Tried everything to help them! Their pain is over, mine is eternal! This video tears my heart open! Its powerful! May God bless n keep you sober n anyone who needs it!! Much respect Ivan!❤
A strong hug to all those who fell into addictions have had the strength and friends who helped them find their way to life. Thanks also to you FFDP who always bear witness to people’s pain.
The tears...the cheastpain...the panic in my body...
Totaly missed this vid...
2006 was the year i listened to my demons and find the bottle.
Seeing this vid took me back to those years....
You know, hes gone thru it. Only one who has looked into their demons eyes can make a video like this. I'm still trying to get the upper hand on mine. Lost my fiance....self respect and will to go on at 64. Thx FFDP for giving me a look at what victory looks like.
FFDP helped countless people by addressing their issues directly and supporting them... Us... Giving us strength. You'll make it brother ! We may not know each other personally yet if we did, we would reach out to you and tell you how you deserve much more. That's what FFDP says to all of us in essence.
FFDP helps so many people. They helped me greatly when my grandpa died and I didn’t slip back into drugs. I am so sorry for your lose. We are all here ya man. We are a family here and are there for anyone.
@@jessicabraida2997 It's a nice feeling not being alone......cause thats part of it. My situation has slid farther into the abyss since I first saw and heard this tune. The hard part is trying to find the strength to stop the slide. :))) I don't feel well at all..
@@ronwayne5274 you gotta find a means of taking it off your mind.
Start getting into shape.
Find a hobby.
Dont let that shit sink its claws into you.
Keep fuking pushing ol timer.
Your generation inspires me to be above this weakness and scum festering in society today.
Fighting the depression of losing the love of my life. I'm staying focused on life after love. Just had a mild stroke.....on my birthday. Sept 28. While I was asleep. In 2002 I kicked a 12 year heroin habit and have stayed clean. Ive got to learn how to live again.....w/o drugs. Its a big challenge. I'll never give up trying to get back into the light. Thx for the kind words.
Your music and inspiration has saved me Ivan, I was a severe alcoholic for 7 years and have been sober now for 18 months. listening to you guys has given me a better purpose the message is more clearer now than ever that life is fragile and struggles are very real, we have to become warriors to battle and overcome those struggles even if it means we need help. Ivan I am so amazed and very proud that you have overcome such battles of your own. I've been a fan for a very long time and seeing this video it's showing a message a message that you can overcome your battles as long as you try and keep trying thank you for all that you do you have helped me in more ways than one with your guys's music I am and forever will be greatful and always a five finger death Punch fan. I got you six
5FDP songs hit so many chords. I may not suffer from addiction, thankfully, but I have friends a family that have and do. As a vet, their songs about military and veteran struggles hit home. Thank 5FDP. Can't wait to see you in concert.
I really wish that you made this video a year and a half ago, I would have showed it to my friend who battle with alcoholism and took his own life. I think this video and your vision would have open up his eyes and saved his life. I just bought your book dirty poetry and I can't wait to read it. If it is as good as this video. It's going to make my 2022 a whole lot better
Take my condolences. And good luck to you my man

Condolences. I tried helping my cousin in his addiction (meth) but ended up he stole from me while I was in hospital recovering from a stroke and he was living with me and was my last straw what he told my son. Thought his last prison stent helped (he supposedly did rehab) but no. He’s back as deep as before. Sadly, I fear it’ll kill him before he gets help and I can’t help with his lying, hiding his use but the his appearance and attitude is same as when he admitted use. It hurts not knowing how to help but knowing he needs it and with the lies and deceit I couldn’t begin to do anything.
I wouldn't call myself a fan of this band but I'm definitely familiar with their radio songs. Being 7 years alcohol free myself this song hits pretty deep. The imagery of the demons brought back the memories of what it was like in the worst days of my alcoholism. I hope this guy keeps going with his sobriety. Some of us just need to be sober for life.
WOW, that hit to the core. As a struggling alcoholic who completely messed up my marriage I know how it is. I would've offed myself if it wasn't for my daughter. She's the only reason for living. Now Im sober raising her. I thank God every day for another chance. There is hope, there is life beyond addiction. But you can't do it alone. Much love and respect and to God be all the glory 🙏
Powerful song, powerful video
This is an eye opener for me. I've cried my eyes out listening to this song many times. I struggle with alcoholism, you truly are an inspiration!!!
Agree so much. Struggling to fight the demons myself but too scared to let anyone know
been struggling with addiction my whole life. I'm 37 now and still find myself in the same shit. family and friends would help a lot if I had any around. not sure what to do.. just know I need to do it for my kids. yall stay strong! love from WV
keep it up buddy, your kids are sure proud of you
Keep doing what your doing,your making your kids life better and that'll make you a father.
Brother keep your head up I know what it's like I'm 40 years old and I was doing crystal meth for over 20 years I'm 9 months clean now and I feel a lot better about myself and about life if I can do it anybody can man I got faith in you
I’m am MORE than proud of Ivan for coming this far, and I hope he gets to celebrate many more years of being sober. This song is making me cry because of its message, and I thank FFDP for making such meaningful music. I wish you all the best and I hope that you can overcome whatever you’re dealing with. I believe in you. ❤️
I love the ending of this video of him speaking about his sobriety. Kudos to regaining your life and sharing it for hope of others
Took me years to concur my addiction.. congratulations Ivan.. I will pray for your continued success
Absolutely hits home very hard.. not every bottle has alcohol in it that we fight the fight with... i really wish there were better programs for the people that can't afford the big name places like celebrities can get into.. nothing against Ivan or his recovery program
Listen to where he references heaven, he is tell the truth as we wrestle NOT with flesh but with demons that we can not see but are here on the earth. There is one way only to heaven and that is through Jesus Christ. The war is real and I know the fight your in but do not who has you in chains however I do. Please call out to the Jesus and ask for forgiveness and he will help you from Satan and his demons. Seek him while he may be found. Its about to get real here on the earth. Also if your have not taken the shot don't... it's the mark of the beast, and if your not sure what that is look it up. The power you seek is already inside you, only you can unlock it.
Been listening to this song for many many many many years with my sobriety, happy there's a video for it now
Omg I’m crying. So hard to see his suffering but than you can see his strength at the end. And seeing his all his fan mail letting him know he is loved. I don’t know if I could watch again bc I love ivan to pieces 😢❤
I wish i could take all of his pain and end mine🙂
FFDP knows how to make masterpiece songs, especially with this song and The Bleeding are two songs that I've had a strong connection with. I've been dealing with alot of pain for the past 11 years of my life, physically and emotionally. Ivan is a great mentor to me and I have the upmost respect and love for him. You Ivan and FFDP have been my therapy over the 11 years and I thank you guys so much
The Bleeding was the very first song from 5fdp that I heard.its still my favorite.hang in there.it will get better
OH. MY. GOD. I still have goose bumps! It"s too strong, too emotional, too painfull. This is so incradible, that Ivan is so brave to tell this story. I love Ivan's voise so much!
I was so disappointed when I seen you down, my thoughts " what an awesome person he has so much to offer to the world I can't imagine him not being a part of these years to come". Then I seen you rise
Way to go Ivan. Keep it up. The music this band brings has helped me through dark and tough times. I'm glad to see you still going strong!
This song hits harder than a Philly blunt in 98. Hats off to my fellow vets that are facing demons every night. Keep your head up
Congratulations on the 42 months. Don't let the inner demons get to you.
Or the Outer Ones 😉🙏🏻
@@alu.304 Outer ones????
Everyone fights their own demons, but today you made that struggle okay. Thank you!!
What I love with this video is they show both sides of fame the glits and glamour that the fans see then the dark ugly side we often don't get shown
ROCKSTAR STYLE 🤩😍🥰🥳🤘
Devastating and inspiring at the same time. Thanks for the tear jerker.
I've been sober for a year thanks for the music to inspire to keep going
Congrats on sobriety. It is a battle that not everyone wins and the fact you continue to do it is a testament to your strength of character.
I’m so glad Ivan has beaten the demons. Don’t know how it would have gone if we’d lost him. But there’s no good ending to loosing anyone to alcohol or drugs
holy fuck this hit home so hard , 3 yrs sober on dec 12
I quit drinking when my dad passed last October. never go back. proud of ya man. Keep the faith.
Наконец то ! Долго ждали видео клип данной песни! Прекрасно получилось! Всегда вперёд FFDP ❤ ! С любовью из России
Oh hell, that would have dredged up some unpleasant memories for you all. I hope you guys looked after yourselves while filming this. So proud of you Ivan! ❤❤
I don't know why I get on social media sites and see people ripping on this band all the time. I really find that their lyrics are raw and honest. Ivan isn't the perfect lead singer. He doesn't claim to be. He has his demons and he addresses that and a lot of his songs. I love this band because of that
I'm definitely living vicariously through this song.
Keep fighting Ivan, I have and have been sober for 21 years..... We love you as a person and the artist. Your music has helped me with my PTSD and survivors guilt. It has kept me from becoming one of the 22 a day
Dear Bearded B ~ I just prayed for YOU. Thank you for your sacrifice and thank you for your message of hope. Rebecca
@@rebeccahintonhines585 thank you so much, you caring message made my day
Just got home from rehab, that video is the tragic truth. I saw those demons nobody else saw. Ended up in hospital. Thank you ffdp great song
Первая мысль - человек сам всё это пережил ... Очень правдиво показывается что может быть с человеком в состоянии глубочайшего похмелья , когда полностью отсутствует сон , а если и наступает сонное забытье - снится что-то ужасное ... Наверное сценарии фильмов ужасов пишутся именно в таком состоянии.... Когда от малейшего стука возвращаешься в реальность а сердце готово выпрыгнуть из груди. Респект 5FDP!
В очередной раз неповторимо! Хорошо что у Айвена все хорошо закончилось! Дай бог здоровья всем участникам команды!
My brother died today after he overdose .. I appreciate Ivan for sharing his story to help People understand what they go through. The struggle is real 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Never let the darkness settle inn. True words, god bless.
I was Going through the darkest time of my life and addiction was a large part of the reason. I was riding my 4-wheeler with my headphones on. This was the first 5 finger death punch song I had heard and it hit me like a freight train. I Parked, sat alone in the mountains and listened to it 3 times in a row (which is something I never do). However, I never knew this is basically a true story until watching this music video. I am totally blown away and have more respect for Ivan now than he'll ever know. Instead of hiding his demons, he created this amazing song and his personal experience helped me crawl out of my own personal hell. I don't know if he ever reads these but if he does, Thank you for sharing your talent & experiences so open and honestly. Even heavy metal rock stars influence people all around the world for the positive. I'm proof of that.
Am I hope u have lived on brother
