Famous Last Words - My Life Before My Eyes 

this band is honestly far too under-rated, the deserve much more attention that theyre getting because their songs are amazing and their lyrics seem so sincere

The song has to do with a dad whose children have died before he dies in the hospital: Jerrad, who died overseas (Brothers in Arms) And Daniel, who dies by gunshot after his friend Zack convinces him to steal drugs from a drug dealer (The Killing Zone) Afterwards, Zack copes with the death of his friend, Daniel, through using Heroin. He dies of an overdose (Fading Memories) They're all connected within the Council of the Dead, a group therapy room within the afterlife where participants are given the task of reaching into their memory of life to uncover the unknown past and come to terms with their death, as explained in the song, Council of the Dead

My grandfather died about a month ago, he got rushed into an hospital and non of our family got there in time since it were late at night. He had alzheimers and could bearly even recognize me but were always obesessed with me and my brother. I didnt think anything of how long I havent seen him since so much has been going on around me. Listening to this breaks my heart, I miss him.

It's hard to find a song I don't love on this album, they really went all out.

Those fucking ninjas are cutting onions again, man!

This is in my opinion the best song on the album. It's depressing as fuck and shows just how awful it truly is to die alone from the perspective of someone having to live through it. No Parent should ever have to bury their child and you guys did a FANTASTIC job of depicting just what that might feel like.

Am I the only one who wants to see music videos for all of the songs on council of the dead.

This song is so deep and meaningful, you can tell JT put his soul into these songs

This and One In The Chamber with The End of The Beginning are my favorite songs on this album. I watched the OITC music video and cried my eyes out. I lost my friend Matty to suicide and the video just hit home. This band should get WAY more recognition.

I try to stay away from sad music. But I can't help myself with this album. It's deep, beautiful, not only vocally but also instrumentally flawless. Well done FLW. There's not one song you guys have dropped I didn't love.

I cant stop crying. I listen to this and i am messaging my dad since i am overseas serving in korea, my dad is in his 50's and his health is somewhat ok but not to excellent. I dont want to be gone when my dad dies and this breaks me. I miss my father so much and i regret not spending enough time with him.

Music rarely makes me cry but I start trembling and tearing up whenever it gets to the second verse. Especially the part with him wanting to tell his sons that he’s proud of them

Even though I dig the heavier stuff, I think this is definitely my favorite track so far.

This reminds me of how afraid I am to be alone when I die.

This is the sadest song I've hurd. I've avoided this song for years.. but I need it now

me? crying? pfft. my eyes are just.. water guns?

i swear someones cutting onions around here *looks around for any cut onions* shit guess not. still a really good song tho

famous last words is the shit

I miss my grandmother i should've spend more time and I regret it

Been five years since the last comment, still listening to this album! 🤘🏻

Favorite track along side One In The Chamber. They absolutely nailed this album!

As soon as I get a job, I am buying this album with my first paycheck. Until then I put all these songs on my iPod but I don't remember hearing this song; I think I some how missed it ;-; By the way, I am really sorry for doing this and not buying the album... I promise I will

It's sad because this is relatable... I miss my family. So much.

this is beautiful, I'm crying so much right now c':

This song always makes me cry every time I hear it. My mom and my grandmother were in the hospital for a long while dying of cancer and when their time came they passed away in the hospital with no one by their side. I blame the doctors for their death, I don't think they did everything they could to help them. The doctors just prescribed them with a countless amount of medication. They were left to rot alone in a hospital. I miss my mom and grandma so much, id do anything to be with them just one more time.

this song makes me realize how much I love my friends and how I need friends or ill just break down

I lie here waiting For one of my sons to walk right through my door But no one's coming 'Cause everyone I've loved is lost I'm on my own My greatest fear is here And I don't want to die alone I want my family They always said they needed me But I need them more It's getting hard to breathe And I feel the cold And it's taking over I see my friends and family And my boys are by my side Before it all went wrong Before the both of them had died And I will try Just to go back to a time when I knew I had it all I'd give anything to have them here beside me But that'll never be I'm all alone Dear god how did this happen to me? You left me with no purpose and left them both to bleed They killed my boy at home and the other overseas So now I'm left to rot alone and die in this hospital If they could both just be here now I'd let them know before I go I was so damn proud But they are never coming home So now I'm left to rot alone and die in this hospital Give it up surrender (Surrender) Let it all subside there's no one by your side You'll never, you'll never win this battle within (Battle within) Your time has come, your body's going numb Now give in Now give in Now give in I see my friends and family And my boys are by my side Before it all went wrong Before the both of them had died And I will try Just to go back to a time when I knew I had it all I'd give anything to have them here beside me But that'll never be I'm all alone My skin goes cold as I'm barely breathing My body's done, I've lost all control I want my sons right here beside me But now they're both gone, and I don't want to die alone I'm starting to feel my vitals failing I'm drifting away to the dark unknown Death sinks in as it overcomes me My greatest fear is here, I don't want to die alone... As the last beat of my old heart subsides The doctors call the time, it looks like I've died alone

An acoustic version of this would be perfect.

This was and still is one of the most depressing songs I've ever heard.

I am 15 years old and I don't get emotional very easily. Never once has a song made me shed tears, but here I am, lying in my bed listening to this, crying softly into my pillow. From the lyrics I can hear over my sobs it seems to be about an elderly man who is dying of old age but none of his friends or family are there to comfort or support him. He is fighting death in the hope that at the last minute one of his sons will walk through the hospital door to see him one last time but this will never happen as they are both dead, therefore his mind is telling him to give up and let death take him. What gets to me is that I'm thinking of my own grandfather, a man who despite being annoying and stubborn sometimes is my dearest family member and probably the only person I can trust. Me and him have had an argument recently and even now I imagine him dying in his bed, nobody to turn to. The thought of him dying before I can apologise is bringing me down in tears. I need to tell him I'm sorry before it's too late...

One of the most powerful songs ive ever listened to. Puts me in a depressive mood every time i listen to it. Music shouldnt be able to do that but this songs so good that I cant help but feel it.

This song actually made my eyes tear a little....

I either want this or The End of The Beginning at my funeral.

I feel such a dream theater influence on this song its amazing.

This song is so fucking beautiful

I love the screaming/growling and more rough tracks from FLW, but it was so nice to hear a track with full clean vocals. We need more of those. It was absolutely beautiful all the way through. Made me shed a tear or two

Man this has to have more than 70k views it deserves fucking millions, all those shitty songs on radio having millions and this masterpiece only 70k

This song is one of the best off the whole album

By far the most underrated song on the album

Sweet Jesus this song is so touching ;-; I cant wait for this album! c:

My skin goes cold as I’m barely breathing My body’s done I’ve lost all control I want my sons right here beside me But now they’re both gone, and I don’t want to die alone I’m starting to feel my vitals failing I’m drifting away to the dark unknown Death sinks in as it overcomes me My greatest fear is here I don’t want to die alone!

This is The saddest song i've ever heard. It's so damm beautiful. I love this band

After the long time, I found a song that legit makes me cry. This song is close to me, because I feel the same like the person who's singing it. I'm afraid of that I'll die alone with nobody with me.

Love the whole album but for some reason this is the one that got to me

This song literally makes me cry almost Everytime I listen to it. I have 2 sons and my personal fear is dying alone and my boys not knowing how proud of them I am

Tried singing along while doing homework and just kept bursting out into tears because of the song.

This entire album is amazing. I love EVERY song from this album. I listen to a lot of heavier music, but it's awesome that one of my favorite songs on this album is this song! And there's no unclean vocals! Makes me love and appreciate FLW's musicianship and storytelling even more

I'm really good friends with the whole band. Grew up in the same town they did ha. I actually hang with Matt and Jt pretty frequently. I'm really happy with how this album turned out. :)

i'm stay crying a lot with that song dude, i don't know, but... FLW saves my life with this video... Thanks Famous Last Words to give me a reason to stay in my second chance

Boys reppin northern michigan hell yea. Can't wait to see them live. Absolutely life changing album

How was this song beautiful?? It was so heartbreaking ._.

Thus album is beautiful

The Killing Zone, and Brothers In Arms are the songs about his sons. Hurts so much to know that.

Favorite band

This whole album is a serious work of art.

Who said metal is from the devil, is absolutely DELUSIONAL. There is no way it came from the devil this masterpiece of art and music is amazing. Metal gets too much hate ✊😔

Easily one of the best songs on this album.

Can't stop hearing the chorus.

What's with the dislike? I mean, this song is great! And if you dont agree or if you don't like this band, you don't have to dislike their video. It's just not right, man

I would love to see an amazing music video to go with this masterpiece.

What are these feels?

I refuse to listen to this song because I don't want to break down on the floor sobbing, the feels man.

I like how they're mixing up their style a lil more this time. It's fucking awesome!
