Famous Last Words may refer to:
Last words or final words are a person's final articulated words said prior to death or as death approaches.
Quotations of last words may not be the words spoken immediately before death, as these tend to reflect the mode of death.[citation needed] Last words may not be written down and accurately recorded, and they may not be quoted accurately for a variety of reasons.
It is estimated that around 17% of people have given thought to what their last words would be if they knew they were dying.[citation needed]
Famous last words include both the literal sense such as the sayings of Jesus on the cross, "Et tu, Brute?" from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and Oscar Wilde's "My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go", and the ironical sense of words said before a disaster, such as:
The last words reported to have been uttered by a person revered as a martyr or hero of a religious, nationalist or revolutionary movement often gain a political significance and are extensively quoted in later literature and/or used as a slogan. However, in many such cases their historical authenticity is doubted.
Alone
No more!
Her broken heart, her broken heart! [x2]
Call me in
the doctor only i can mend this wound
We'll stitch it up! We'll stitch it up!
and we can act and pretend like this never happened
love's lost in your eyes
They glow, and shine, and hypnotize
They terrorize!, they terrorize!
She yells aloud, she screams, she cries
so let's pretend this went exactly as we had intended
So dry your tears, no more fears
we'll scream, "Let's go get it!"
and when the world, it turns its back on you, I'll be
waiting here for you
No regrets, don't you quit
we'll scream, "Let's go get it!"
Let's go get it!
You sit there in the dark cause you feel empty inside
Your mind's caught in a loop screaming, "What's
happened to my life?!"
It's a heart aching, stale feeling, but don't fear
Just listen to my words, they're words you might want
to hear
You feel like it's all over, there's nothing you can do
But listen to me when I say that time it heals all
wounds
You feel empty, lost, and broken inside
You'll be fine, You'll be mine, Every day’s a new
sunrise!
so let's pretend this went exactly as we had intended
So dry your tears, no more fears
we'll scream, "Let's go get it!"
and when the world, it turns its back on you, I'll be
waiting here for you
No regrets, don't you quit
we'll scream, "Let's go get it!"
I'll pick you up show you you're not alone, my arms are
your new home
it's worth the pain, worth the risk
waiting for your special kiss
when all is dark and loss is all you know
just search, you'll find a home
it's worth the pain, worth the risk
waiting for your special kiss
They terrorize!, they terrorize!
She yells aloud, she screams, she cries
love's lost in your eyes
They glow, and shine, and hypnotize [x2]
They terrorize!, they terrorize!
She yells aloud, she screams, she cries
I'll pick you up show you you're not alone, my arms are
your new home
it's worth the pain, worth the risk
waiting for your special kiss
when all is dark and loss is all you know
just search, you'll find a home
it's worth the pain, worth the risk
