Famous Last Words
9353 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's okay
It's not loaded
I'm a good driver
Don't worry, honey

It's okay
It's not loaded
I'm a good driver
Don't worry, honey

It's okay
It's not loaded
I'm a good driver
Don't worry, honey
Come back, honey

Famous last words

Time to get out from this fucking hole
Time to get out of it
You might not ever adjust to it

Time to get a slice of the real pie




I might not ever adjust
You might not ever ...?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Famous Last Words by 9353 reveal a story of denial, fear and maybe even delusion. The singer repeatedly reassures someone, possibly their partner, that everything is okay and that there is nothing to worry about. They insist that the gun is not loaded and that they are a good driver, both of which can be interpreted as foreshadowing impending danger. The repetition of these phrases adds to the unsettling feeling of the song and creates a sense of desperation.


The line "Famous last words" suggests that the singer is aware of the potential consequences of their actions and is resigned to facing them, but their behavior doesn't reflect this acknowledgment. The second half of the song suggests that the singer is going through a difficult time and is attempting to make a change but is finding it hard to adjust. They urge themselves and listeners to "get a slice of the real pie." Still, they acknowledge that it might not be easy to do so.


Overall, Famous Last Words seems to be a commentary on the ways in which we deceive ourselves when we are faced with difficult situations. It is a somber reminder of the importance of being honest with ourselves and others around us, even when it is uncomfortable.

I've been singing this song and other 9553 songs to random strangers and my pets for +30 years.

I have circa 1986 photos of the band from a concert they did but most of the pictures were taken of me and band members drinking and cavorting...lol

I miss the fun, insane, dangerous yet adventurous years of old DCsleeze!
