Too Late
Dead By Sunrise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's cold and dark
I think I'm going insane
The end is coming, it's true
I'm all alone and I'm screaming your name
It seems that's all I can do

But it's too late to turn back now
It's too loud to hear the sound
I'm so lost, I can't be found
It's too late to turn back now

It's hard to focus when your life is a blur
(life is a blur)
It's hard to see the truth
How can I move on when there's so much to learn
And every road comes back to you

But it's too late to turn back now
It's too loud to hear the sound
I'm so lost, I can't be found
It's too late to turn back now

But it's too late to turn back now
It's too loud to hear the sound
I'm so lost, I can't be found
It's too late to turn back now, now





I'm so lost, I cannot be found
It's too late to turn back now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dead by Sunrise's song "Too Late" tell the story of someone who feels like they are completely losing their grip on reality. They're all alone, screaming the name of someone they're desperately missing, but it feels like no one can hear them. The desperation in the lyrics is palpable as the singer realizes that it's too late to turn back now. The end is coming, and there's nothing that can be done to stop it.


The singer describes their life as a blur, unable to focus and struggling to find the truth. The more they try to move on, the more they find themselves coming back to the one thing they want the most - the person whose name they're screaming out into the dark. The repetition of the chorus, "It's too late to turn back now," emphasizes the hopelessness of the situation. The singer is lost and can't be found, resigned to the fact that there is no going back.

It's cold and dark, I think I'm going insane
The end is coming, it's true
I'm all alone and I am screaming your name
It seems that's all I can do

But it's too late to turn back now
It's too loud to hear the sound
I'm so lost, I can't be found
It's too late to turn back now

It's hard to focus when your life is a blur
It's hard to see the truth
How can I move on when there's so much to learn?
And every road comes back to you

But it's too late to turn back now
It's too loud to hear the sound
I'm so lost, I can't be found
It's too late to turn back now

But it's too late to turn back now
It's too loud to hear the sound
I'm so lost, I can't be found
It's too late to turn back now, now

I'm so lost, I can't be found
It's too late to turn back now
