Five finger death punch a little bit off today

Songfacts®:

• We all wake up feeling really down in the dumps some days, and this has happened to Ivan Moody on this number. During the acoustic guitar backed song he sings of waking up "a little off" and now everyone's driving him crazy and he's got a "really short fuse."

• Moody admits to masking what's going on inside him.

  I told a little white lie today, I smiled and told someone I loved them

  He couldn't even show his emotions when bidding farewell to someone he's close to.

  I had to say goodbye today to someone that I love
  I couldn't even cry today, I think my heart is finally broken

  The singer smokes some weed in an attempt to escape his depression.

  I got a little too high today, got lost inside a sea of madness

• Fans linked the song with Ivan Moody's struggles with mental health, but by the time it was released as the second single off F8, the US was in lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic. The lyrics took on a new meaning applying to people's emotions as they struggled to deal with the COVID-19 nightmare.

• Five Finger Death Punch's original plan for the video was an epic chess battle between an angel and a demon. Having conceptualized the clip, F8 came out right just as the COVID-19 pandemic started sweeping through the Western world, so the band had to settle for a relatively minimalist visual featuring a chess match between guitarist Zoltan Bathory and bassist Chris Kael dressed up as an angel and demon. We also see Ivan Moody walking around an empty downtown Las Vegas.

  Rob Anderson shot the video during lockdown in a deserted, car-free Las Vegas. Anderson also directed the band's clip for "Sham Pain."

• Written and recorded from May to October 2019 with Five Finger Death Punch's go-to producer Kevin Churko, F8 is a defiant record, inspired by, in the band's own words, "two years of turmoil." This distress includes Ivan Moody's alcohol addiction and the departure of drummer Jeremy Spencer because of a damaged back.

Five Finger Death Punch Lyrics

"A Little Bit Off"

I'm a little bit off today, something down inside me's different
Woke up a little off today, I can tell that something's wrong
I'm a little thrown off today, there's something going on inside me
I'm a little bit off today, a little bit off today
(I'm a little bit off today, a little bit off)
See, I'm a little bit off today, I cannot put my finger on it
Got up a little off today, just to play that same old song
I don't really wanna try today, I see nothing in my reflection
I'm a little bit dry today, feel like I could die today

I'm a little bit off today
Feel like I could die today

Hey yeah, hey yeah
Hey yeah, don't ya know? (I'm a little bit off)
Hey yeah, hey yeah
Hey, you gotta let it go (I'm a little, just a little bit off)

I'm a little pissed off today and there ain't nothing you can do about it
I'm a little put off today and I could not tell you why
Got a really short fuse today, everyone around me's fucking crazy
I'm a little ticked off today, a little pissed off today
(I'm a little bit off today)
I told a little white lie today, I smiled and told someone I loved them
I had to say goodbye today to someone that I love
I couldn't even cry today, I think my heart is finally broken
Didn't need a reason why today, I don't need a reason why today

Hey yeah, hey yeah
Hey yeah, don't ya know? (I'm a little bit off)
Hey yeah, hey yeah
Hey, you gotta let it go (I'm a little, just a little bit off)

I got a little too high today, got lost inside a sea of madness
Crashed a little bit hard today, crashed a little too hard today
Everybody sing

Hey yeah, hey yeah
Hey yeah, don't ya know? (I'm a little bit off)
Hey yeah, hey yeah
Hey, you gotta let it go (I'm a little, just a little bit off)
Hey, you gotta let it go (I'm a little, just a little bit off)

I'm a little bit off today
Something down inside me feels so different
Just a little bit off today
You can all fuck off today
