Famous Last Words, una banda estadounidense de post-hardcore, nació en 2010 en Petoskey, Michigan. Sus fundadores, JT Tollas (voz), Jesse Maddy (guitarra), Craig Simons (batería) y Tyler Myklebust (guitarra), compartían una pasión inigualable por la música. Aunque sus caminos se habían cruzado en distintas bandas y proyectos anteriores, la química entre ellos fue innegable desde el primer momento.
En 2010, la banda lanzó su primer EP titulado ‘In Your Face’. Este trabajo tuvo una aceptación modesta, pero suficiente para ponerlos en el radar de la escena musical alternativa. Con una combinación de letras poderosas, riffs impactantes y una energía abrumadora en sus presentaciones en vivo, Famous Last Words empezaba a hacerse un nombre.
Dos años después, en 2012, la banda firmó con InVogue Records y lanzó su primer disco de larga duración, ‘Two-Faced Charade’. El álbum conceptualmente narraba una intrincada historia de amor y desilusión, y su ambiciosa presentación cautivó tanto a críticos como a fanáticos. Temas como ‘The Show Must Go On’ y ‘My Life Before My Eyes’ se convirtieron en himnos para sus seguidores.
A partir de la publicación de este álbum, Famous Last Words comenzó a atraer la atención a nivel nacional. Su estilo único, que combinaba elementos de teatro con la intensidad del post-hardcore, los distinguió en una industria saturada de bandas similares. Las giras se hicieron más frecuentes y sus presentaciones cada vez más esperadas.
It started out as one love one passion
Now it's bursting out into a chain reaction
My sinful deeds I will never confess
This dead will make out to be a useless witness
This is just what we wanted
Which is why it feels so right
Cut, slice, dig as deep as you can
Look into her hands
And know his blood is on your hands
My lead is the reaper
And my anger is my scythe
Together we will make this life
Together we will
Hide and seek, a sick game of destiny
And this round you will never win
You know you'll never find him
Here we go, count to 10 let's start the show
Where you've gone she will never know
Cut throat executioner
I aspire to survive
It's a case of an unsolved murder
Baby, now you're all mine
No services
Coffin
No hearse
I'll find a place to hide his corpse
Under the world!
Bury my secrets
Evidence will burn
The deed is done I've lost my mind
Last sense of my conscience
Starts fade and
Die
Under the world
Are the sins committed for this girl
This man who died it's justified
He's out of sight
Now you're all mine
Now you're all mine
Hide and seek, a sick game of destiny
And this round you will never win
You know you'll never find him
Here we go, count to 10 let's start the show
Where you've gone she will never know
Woah-oh-ohh-ohh
I'm a sinner
I'm a sinner
I'm a sick cold hearted killer
I'm a lover
I'm a winner
And I? d do it all to steal her
From a life she thinks she wants
But I know she would regret
Living life without another man
And now he's fucking dead
I'm a sinner
I'm a sinner
I'm a sick cold hearted killer
I'm a lover
I'm a winner
And I? d do it all to steal her
From a life she thinks she wants
But I know she would regret
Living life without another man
And now he's fucking dead
It's sadistic
It's pathetic
So simplistic
It's poetic
It's ironic
So psychotic
And I really really want it
So I took what I deserve
And I said "Hey, well fuck the price"
So I cut him into pieces
Took my demons own advice
Now you're all mine
Go, look for your lover
If you keep searching he will show up dead
I am the murderer
You will never see his pretty face again
Never again
