Too Late
Days of Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it?
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late

No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it?
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It's not too late
It's never too late

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late

The world we knew
Won't come back
The time we've lost
Can't get it back
The life we had
Won't be ours again

This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late (It's never too late)




It's not too late
It's never too late

Overall Meaning

The song "Never Too Late" by Days of Grace deals with themes of hopelessness, despair, and suicidal thoughts. The singer acknowledges that the world may never be what he expected it to be, and as a result, he feels disconnected from it. He wonders if he truly belongs and if he'll ever find a way to feel connected. The isolation and loneliness are further reinforced with the lines "No one will ever see/ This side reflected," suggesting that he feels that his true self is hidden and unacknowledged by others.


At the same time, the singer reaches out to someone else who may be feeling similarly. He encourages them not to give up on life and to seek out hope: "To make you feel like it's not too late/ It's never too late." By offering support and reassurance, he hopes that they can find a way to hold on and to keep going. This message is reinforced throughout the song, with lines like "Maybe we'll turn it all around/ 'Cause it's not too late/ It's never too late." The overarching message is one of resilience in the face of difficult circumstances, and a belief that even when things seem the darkest, there is always hope for a brighter future.


Overall, the song serves as an uplifting reminder that even when life seems too difficult to bear, there is always hope - and that by reaching out to others and finding support, we can endure even the darkest of times.
