Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And feverish forehead, the blood that you waste
I'm tired of this, watching it wash out of you
I beg you to stay just 'til tomorrow
I'll clean up the bathtub and we'll leave the state
Mouth open, silent and blue
And in the heat, it searched for you
You were the one I'd have starved with
'Til I can't hold out no more
You were the one I'd come looking for
Over and over and over again
Look at me baby, dead in my eyes
It's the end of our holiday but it isn't goodbye
Carry me with you all of the time
Eat of me baby, skin to the bone
Body on body, until I'm all gone
But I'm with you, inside
The lyrics to "Famous Last Words" by 1017 ALYX 9SM convey a sense of longing and desperation in a dying relationship. The opening lines suggest that the singer has deeply loved their partner, as evidenced by their burnt lips from kissing their face and feverish forehead. However, they are exhausted from witnessing their partner's self-destructive behavior. The phrase "watching it wash out of you" implies that the partner is wasting away, both physically and emotionally.
The singer pleads for their partner to stay just until tomorrow, promising to clean up the evidence of their pain (symbolized by cleaning the bathtub) and embark on a new beginning in a different location (indicating the desire for a fresh start). The line "mouth open, silent and blue" suggests a lifeless state, perhaps hinting at the partner's impending demise.
Despite the turmoil, the singer admits that they have a deep connection with their partner. They confess that they would have starved together, emphasizing their commitment and loyalty. The repetition of the phrase "over and over and over again" implies a cycle of coming back to one another despite the hardships.
In the chorus, the singer implores their partner to look into their eyes, acknowledging that it marks the end of their holiday together, but not necessarily the end of their connection. They request to be carried with their partner at all times, signifying a desire for constant presence and intimacy.
The following lines continue with a sense of physical closeness and a willingness to give everything of themselves ("eat of me baby, skin to the bone"). The phrase "but I'm with you, inside" suggests that even if the physical aspect of the relationship ends, the emotional bond will endure.
Overall, "Famous Last Words" explores themes of love, desperation, and the complexities of relationships on the brink of collapse. It delves into the intense emotions and desires that can arise when faced with the possibility of losing someone.

Over and over and over again
Repeatedly, without end or hesitation

Our fleeting moments of happiness have come to an end, but our connection remains
Carry me with you all of the time
Keep our memories and the weight of our experiences with you constantly
Eat of me baby, skin to the bone
Consume my essence entirely, leaving nothing but bare bones
Body on body, until I'm all gone
Our physical union merged us into one, until I completely disappear
But I'm with you, inside
Despite my physical absence, my presence remains within you
