Dreadlock Pussy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The tiniest of touch
So easy to brush aside when everything looks up
But blossomed into chaos
The icy hands of rage reach deep into your system
And pull a piece away
So far away
And it’s not coming fast enough at all
And it ain’t easy to break through that wall
It’s not always better to keep those thoughts at bay
You know what they say - it’s never too late
To wash away the pain
To make it all okay
To start again and clean the slate
One too many counters to knock you right around
Splitting hairs halfway to find that middle ground
Endless frustration at another compromise
You want to feel, want to live
Want to see with those eyes
I look into your smile and there’s nothing in there to see
You seem so distant to me
You know what they say - it’s never too late
To wash away the pain
To make it all okay
To start again and clean the slate
And I know you need some space to try it your way
But I’m scared you’ll go astray
What am I supposed to do? Sacrifice my goals?
What am I supposed to do? Stand by and let you go?
Never…
You know what they say, it’s never too late
But the past has had its way
The leaves have blown and winters here to stay
The song Late by Dreadlock Pussy is about the struggles of a relationship due to a small issue that was not dealt with properly. The lyrics describe how a small issue can turn into chaos if left unresolved, and how it can cause endless frustration and compromise. The singer is trying to convey that it's never too late to address the pain, wash it away, and start again.
The lyrics start with the singer describing how a slight annoyance in the relationship, what he calls a 'little niggle,' could easily be brushed aside. However, it escalates into something bigger and causes chaos. The singer describes how the icy hands of rage reach deep into someone's system and pull a piece away, which can leave both partners feeling distant and emotionally disconnected.
The lyrics then describe the inner turmoil that one partner feels as they try to figure out what to do about the issue. They feel like they have to sacrifice their own goals to save the relationship, but they don't want to stand by and let their partner go. The chorus emphasizes that it's never too late to fix things, but the past has had its way and caused irreparable damage.
Overall, the song is about the importance of addressing small issues before they spiral out of control and cause severe damage to a relationship.
