Too Late
Dreamquest Lyrics

Shades of weathered statues
The old and worn-out monuments, resembling the fleeting nature of life.

Made with hands that carved precious marble
Crafted by skilled artisans, the monuments symbolize the preciousness of life.

Through the gothic portal
Passing through the imposing gateway, signifying the threshold of life and death.

She walks and asks
The artist walks and inquires about her deceased mother's whereabouts.

Where her mother's resting in peace
She seeks to locate where her departed mother lies in eternal rest.

Where she now rests in peace
When she finds the tomb, she realizes her mother is already at peace.

Crossing over white paths
Moving along the white paths in the cemetery as a symbol of embarking on a journey to eternity.

She now cries before coming to the tomb
She becomes emotional and sheds tears before she reaches her mother's grave.

Now covered by all the colors of
The tomb is now adorned with vibrant and colorful flowers selected with love.

The best flowers chosen with love
Choosing the best flowers to honor her mother's memory was an act of love.

Beloved Mother
The singer lovingly refers to her mother.

Too late
Regret arises as it's too late to make amends for past mistakes.

Now is too late
The singer accepts that there's no going back as it's already too late.

For a love never remembered
The lack of love and care demonstrated towards the mother while she was alive is lamented.

To a mother dead a stranger
The mother's death has made her a stranger to the singer as there were no significant bonds before her passing.

For a victim of your shadow
The artist's own shortcomings and faults caused her mother to suffer and resulted in a broken relationship.

Pay your shame now
Realizing her mistakes, the artist struggles to come to terms with her guilt and shame.

Cry only for yourself 'cause
The singer realizes that it's only her own loss and regret that she's crying for.

She does not deserve your tears
Even though regret is inevitable, it's too late for tears and thus pointless.

Where were you when she was ill
The artist questions where she was when her mother desperately needed her.

Where were you when she was in need of help
The artist expresses remorse for not being there when her mother was at her most vulnerable.

To cure her solitude from when her life
The artist laments not doing enough to cure her mother's loneliness in life.

Was changed by your father's sad death
The mother's life was transformed forever after the father's death, and the singer did not adequately assist her.
