Is It Too Late?
Blue of Colors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm not sure where I was
I think I came from a pumpkin
Made my costume out of nothing
Is it all my fault if i can't get it together?
Does feel this way to everyone around
cre they happiest when they are all togetherWhen my tree falls down will it sound?
Is it too late to make it happen?
No, never mind
But you know you're running out of time
If I could find the missing pieces
cnd get to the gate in time
But if I'm meticulous
It's only on about thing
Might seem ridiculous
But these things they've gotta sing
cnd I couldn't stop if I tried
Unless there was some accident
Is it too late to make it happen?
No, never mind
But you know you're running out of time
Has anyone on board here seen the captain
No, never mind
Keep your head down and get it right
Nobody's asking any questions
Or throwing a line
Come on man
You've got to have a backup plan
But I don't and no I don't understand
The lyrics of "Is It Too Late?" by Blue of Colors convey a sense of confusion and uncertainty in the singer's life journey and the decisions they have made or failed to make. The opening lines suggest a feeling of disorientation and a lack of clear direction, as if the singer has returned from a place they cannot quite pinpoint - perhaps symbolized by coming from a pumpkin and making a costume out of nothing. This imagery reflects a sense of starting anew or trying to find one's place in the world.
The chorus of the song raises questions of accountability and self-doubt, with the singer wondering if their inability to "get it together" is solely their fault. They question whether others also feel this way and ponder on whether happiness is tied to being with others. The mention of a falling tree and the sound it makes when it falls could symbolize the consequences of one's actions or the impact of personal failures on others.
The repeated refrain of "Is it too late to make it happen?" expresses a sense of urgency and a fear of missed opportunities, while acknowledging the fleeting nature of time. The singer reflects on finding the missing pieces and reaching a metaphorical "gate" in time, hinting at a desire for resolution or progress in their journey. The mention of being meticulous and the need for things to "sing" suggests a perfectionist tendency and a desire for meaning or purpose in their actions.
The later verses touch on themes of uncertainty and lack of understanding, as the singer questions whether it is too late to change their circumstances. They express a sense of resignation or apathy, highlighted by the repeated refrain of "No, never mind" and the search for guidance or direction with the line "Has anyone on board here seen the captain?" The song closes with a call for having a backup plan, despite the singer's admission that they do not have one and do not fully comprehend their situation, leaving the listener with a sense of unresolved tension and introspection.
