Famous Last Words - Hell In The Headlights Lyrics






Crash the impact that took my life
But what happened to the little girl still trapped inside?
Did she make it out of there alive? Did she survive?
The headlights showed me the light
Lit the tunnel down the road to my demise
All we went for was a little drive
Who knew that it would be the last time?

[Chorus:]
You spread these lies Just another way to justify
That our lives are gone and we must move on But that is not alright
All I needed was a little time and all I wanted was to say goodbye
Well I can’t move on, this is all so wrong and I will not comply

My life’s decaying

But what happened to the little girl still trapped inside?
Did she make it out of there alive? Did she survive?
I accept the path that’s chosen for me
But leave my girl alone, she has a life to lead
Don’t mercy me, no sympathy
Don’t take her life god just take me
My life is fading

[Chorus]

The fire’s blazing I hear her cry
God don’t forsake me Don’t let her die Another victim of a DUI
Murder, a fucking homicide
You can save her life tonight, don’t let her die

[Chorus]

I’ll beg and I’ll plead
I’ll do whatever it takes god please just promise me
She’ll be safe without her father. Promise me

She won’t understand she won’t believe
She’ll wonder where I’ve and gone and why I had to leave
She’ll be told that her daddy’s gone away
To a place in the sky, that’s where I’ll stay
In the night she will meet me in her dreams
That’s as close as we will ever be
I’ll whisper in her ear and I will say
Daddy loves you, everything’s okay

  22. J.... H....

  28. l.... 0....

    Still get chills even now when I listen to this :/ , amazing song !

    l.... 0....

    really underrated band imo

  29. L.... M....

    Kd os Br's?

  30. A.... V....

    Not even all the way through and I'm sobbing.

    A.... V....

    you have no idea. i was in the middle of school sobbing to this song. Now that i think about it, no one even bothered to see what was wrong with me, if they even noticed XD

  31. D.... G....

    this is one of my favorits

  32. B.... W....

    It seriously blows my mind how connected their albums are to each song. These guys are complete geniuses.

  33. S.... V....

    I love how both albums use songs to piece a story together, like Two-Faced Charade when the guy is in love with a girl, but she has a boyfriend, then gets voices in his head to take her back, ending up with killing her boyfriend, then she finds out, then he knocks her out, then the music video of The Show Must Go On; then there's this, which from what I think, is about people and their tragedy that leads to another and so on and so forth, like a butterfly effect, and thus creating a council of the dead. At least, that's what I think of this album and it's story

    S.... V....

    +Slenderps Vids there is a movie for Two Faced. "Two Faced Charade; The Story Revealed" is what I think the title of it is called check it out

    S.... V....

    +Slenderps Vids Wait for the third, hen fourth, then more.

    S.... V....

    He doesn't knock her out. He murders her, too

  34. A.... D....

    Ironically, I got in a car crash with this song on my radio.

    A.... D....

    +Alyssa Dawnie FUCK LMAO

    A.... D....

    Damn. We're you ok??

    A.... D....

    Yeah but I don't drive with this song on now hahaha

    A.... D....

    it might be a curse lol

  35. N.... S....

    being a father this song brings tears to my eyes.

    N.... S....

    Same. Idk if I can handle people telling me happy father's day

  36. R.... F....

    next album?

  37. J.... F....

    Oh.. So they have songs about the guy's mom from One in the Chamber and the Beginning of the End.. Wow.. and the guy from the crash

  38. E.... H....

    Daddy loves you, everythings okay, *curl up in a ball, try not to cry, cry a lot*

    E.... H....

    +Eva Halleen cant. hold. back.. dem tears....

  39. U.... ....

    AH! I just noticed... this is in the perspective of the man who was hit by the guy from One in The chamber. (When the lyrics say, "I took a father from his girl.")

    U.... ....

    @Marcus Miranda i noticed that too!

    U.... ....

    +Marcus Miranda everyone in this album is connected if you pay close attation ;)

    U.... ....

    +Evilboy012 Its so crazy how that works but its so brilliant.

    U.... ....

    This is why these guys are geniuses

  40. J.... M....

    I broke down crying when I heard "Daddy loves you, everything okay." powerful.

    J.... M....

    Jayson Mayott I never noticed that until now wow, here comes more depression but love this fucking band

  41. R.... ....

    Holy shit, that piano at the very end just makes the end of the song even more powerful.

  42. T.... R....

    In 3 days seeing you guys first show i have ever been to you guys will be the first people I have ever seen live in concert.

  43. W.... P....

    This band always tells stories that paint pictures in your head..

  44. V.... ....

    Of all the album, this song here is the saddest one to me. The father is struggling to hard to save his daughter even in the face of death. Around (2:12 I think?) when the lyrics aren't clear and starting to break apart, but then regain focus makes me think of the father nearly succumbing to death untill he pictures his child and fights even harder to escape. Hell he didn't even want to be saved, he knew it was over for him, but he was begging, pleading, and arguing with his position, fighting for one more moment to say goodbye, to say "I love you". Its a pretty well written story, better then a few actual novels I read, they didn't kick up nearly as much emotion as this one song is. This band can go a very long way if they continue doing amazing works like this.

  45. C.... G....

    Amazing !!!! It changed my life >3

  46. r.... r....

    Love this song💖

  47. E.... P....

    WHY DO I KEEP THINKING OF VINCENT THE PURPLE GUY WHEN I LISTEN TO THIS?! GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    E.... P....

    U wot m8

  48. D.... B....

    Hands down the best song on the whole album. Me being a father myself, with a little girl, this hits me right in the feels. You can tell JT put a lot of emotion in this song because he too is a father. Weird part is my wife has been having dreams about a car crash for months. And I just started listening to this album two days ago. I hope this song isn't about me....

    D.... B....

    @Dasu Barsan Dam, well congrats on being a father cX and Jeremy has a kid?! o.o

    D.... B....

    @Siri Smiles The whole song is focused around his daughter, look at the lyrics.

    D.... B....

    @Vengonva Huh o.o

  49. x.... ....

    I can't help but tear up when I listen to this song ;-; this whole album is just perfect. FLW, you guys are just fucking amazing

  50. T.... ....

    "Nancy is Jake's mom (Nancy is from The Fog and Jake from One in the Chamber). Nancy died in the hospital room that Bob had been in with her (Bob is from My Life Before my Eyes). So Jake became an alcohol abuser and killed Eric (Hell in the Headlights) by accident in a car crash. Then Jake couldn't take the guilt so he killed himself. Bob was the father of Daniel and Jarred. (The Killing Zone and Brothers in Arms). Jarred died saving Aisha (The Uprise) and Aisha is still alive. Daniel was not in the war and he could not please Bob (aka his father) so he turned to drugs. Now, Daniel and Zack had the same dealer so Zack told and lied to Daniel to steal all of the drugs and supplies from the dealer but was gunned down in the streets. Next is Bob, he was expecting atleast one of his sons to come and see him but he knew they both died so he had no one and died alone in the hospital because of a broken heart. Zack couldn't get over the fact that Daniel died because of his lies so he overdosed and died. At this point Aisha is the only one alive in the Council. I hope this helps you understand more or anyone :p"

    T.... ....

    Nick Luciano LostInThought Studio is right in Zack's introduction he says "I got what was coming to me i convinced my best friend to rob our dealer told him we'd give him more street cred but all i really wanted was my fix they hunted him down in the street like fucking animals all because of me no amount of stag can take away the guilt sure was enough to stop my heart from beating though oh well that's what i deserve"

    T.... ....

    https://newnoisemagazine.com/exclusive-track-by-track-famous-last-words-council-of-the-dead/

    Goes it bit more in depth with each song

    T.... ....

    Damn that's deep. Especially hell in the headlights because I myself am a father and lost my daughter. Not to a car accident but to miscarriage

    T.... ....

    @Daniel Martinez May you daughter RIP. I'm so sorry

    T.... ....

    So is Aisha Eric's daughter?

  51. K.... L....

    This whole album has my feels meter going ballistic. I've replayed this song damn near 100 times in 24 hours (that's not including the hours I've put into the rest of the album just over a day). The tears come in this song though.

    K.... L....

    I've always loved albums that tell stories. Not the cliche bullshit these days about crying and using big words to describe a 3 day relationship.

  52. P.... ....

    "You spread these lies Just another way to justify" These freaking lyrics are stuck in my head all day everyday..

    P.... ....

    That's a good thing btw

  53. T.... ....

    S.... F....

  62. L.... C....

    Just the lyrics alone brought me to tears. I can't imagine what the rest of the album will do to me. There will probably be a river once the last song ends.

  63. L.... O....

    E.... J....

    @Brad Domingus i knew all of that but when i read your comment i was like wait who is Aisha? i dont remember them mentioning her at any point

  76. R.... R....

    This band is just amazing. The only metalcore band that will always have a place in my heart <3
    The lyrics are very emotional to me. The sound is near perfect to me, and it has the perfect balance of screams and cleans, vocally.

    This is my favorite song on the album, hands down :D

  77. G.... L....

    Darn it this album is gonna have me in tears. I need to stop reading he lyrics and just enjoy the music.

  78. H.... ....

    I'm too in love with this song it's one of my favorites off of this axing album!

  79. d.... d....

    I can't even decide what one is my favorite the story these guys tell in there albums are just amazing!!

  80. G.... U....

    This is a band that really deserves to take off on their musical careers. Far too talented for how unknown they are right now

  81. F.... ....

    BEST song in this album! 

  82. j.... ....

    Famous Last Words You have lifted my spirit with this album, no pun intended (:

    j.... ....

    AhhhHHHH I GET IT!! Its funny because you said "lifted my spirit" and the albums about a bunch of souls being lifted into another existence!! You said no pun intended, but I know what you're up to there little mister, you should take more pride in your puns! Puns make us laugh and humor is essential to living as a conscience human, so I guess in some roundabout retardesque way that means you kept me alive today AND FOR THAT, SIR, I THANK YOU. We can all learn a lot from punsuous (punsuous: adj. Consisting of puns) individuals such as yourself. You are what makes our society carry on. To come up with such puns takes the mind of a innovator, constantly taking the clutter of spacious thoughts that back up in the mind and refining them to make room for the beautiful process of humor!!! I just hope the praise from that comment doesn't... GO TO YOUR HEAD :DDD!!!!!..... I'm done now

    j.... ....

    @Joe Vaia ^What a douche^

  83. L.... W....

    Fav song

  84. I.... Z....

    I love how all of these songs tell the same story, just from a different perspective :)
