Following a creative trail in between dark pop conceptions and raving picks of industrial style, Glampire succeeds in retrieving his own visions of groundbreaking, vigorous electronic mixed rock. Substantiating a personal predicament within the established industrial ground and strengthening his themes from within by way of self-producing his work, the musician, producer, and performer eventually expands his cult beyond the limits of composing. Born David Michael Jahn, Glampire started playing the guitar when he was only five years old. During his teen years, he continuously learned to play, by then having Robert Fripp as a teacher. After moving to New York City in the midst of the '90s, he decided to create Bedside Studios, already preparing to hit the underground music scene. Following two years of preparation, his first full-length album, The Beginning of Terror, arrived in 1997 confirming Glampire's resourceful and galvanizing creativity. Pretty Scary, his second full-length, hit record stores in 1998, and one year later, it was time for The Heraldic Universe, the third album. His exquisite musical scenarios and thrilling performances originated an always-larger following, expanding beyond U.S. frontiers, specifically due to the distribution of his records and themes on the Internet. In 2001, one year after the release of The Soft White Ghetto, Glampire delivered Drop Dead Gorgeous, his fifth album.

Famous Last Words
Glampire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We had a fling, a friendship, a feast of a fuck fest
We shared a hatred for the world
These times were the best these times were the worst
Didn't I always warn you
I would not suffer wise guys who wouldn't play along
I made that simple and I made that clear
Just like this song

Goodbye
Good luck
It's time for me to live up to my
Famous last words

We laughed off the tears 'cause the drugs couldn't help
Oh you my dear went and married your fears
While I played my trade in the ancient art of falling apart
I built a brand new self

I promised you I would always get here
Let nothing stand in my path
That was my first intention and the last words I spoke

Looks like you're the one underneath the joke
If I cared I'd cry but I don't so I am laughing in your face

Overall Meaning

The song "Famous Last Words" by Glampire is a poignant commentary on the intricacies of relationships and the difficulties of living up to one's own expectations. The opening lines of the song describe a tumultuous relationship filled with passion and resentment, and the struggle to reconcile the two emotions. The line "We shared a hatred for the world" is particularly expressive, capturing the sense of alienation that can accompany intense emotional connections.

The chorus of "Goodbye, Good luck, It's time for me to live up to my famous last words" hints at the singer's recognition that the relationship has come to an end, and that they must move on in order to realize their own potential. The second verse makes reference to drug use and the ways in which fear and anxiety can shape one's decisions. The line "I played my trade in the ancient art of falling apart" is perhaps the most evocative of the entire song, conjuring up images of a heartbroken individual piecing themselves back together.

The final lines of the song are both melancholy and defiant. The singer acknowledges their own emotional detachment ("If I cared I'd cry but I don't so I am laughing in your face"), but also seems to acknowledge the fleeting nature of relationships themselves ("Looks like you're the one underneath the joke").
