Too Late
Eric Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I was knocking on your door you gave me none
Well I don't make that kind of deal with anybody
And I won't be that kind of fool for anyone
How do you feel when the tables have been turned?
What will you do now the bridges have been burned?
Too late now the spell is broken
Too late now to count the cost
Of words that should remain unspoken
When I need you by my side you stand above me
And when I look into yuor eyes you turn away
Well if that's the best there is then I won't buy it
Well if that's the only game then I won't play
How many danger signs did you ignore?
How many times have you heard it all before?
Cause it's too late now the magic's lost
Too late now the spell is broken
Too late now to count the cost
Of words that should remain unspoken
In these lyrics, Eric communicates a message about a relationship that has been one-sided for a long time. The singer has always provided comfort and shelter for their partner when needed. However, when the singer needs help or comfort, the partner refuses to offer any form of support. The singer realizes that he has been a fool for putting all his efforts into the relationship, while his partner didn't reciprocate. With the relationship reaching a critical point, the singer wonders what his partner will do now that the tables have turned.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the past, acknowledging the warning signs that were ignored. He questions his partner's commitment and concludes that if the partner isn't willing to offer equal support or engagement, then he won't continue to play games. The relationship has become too toxic, and while it's too late to save it, the singer has learned the valuable lesson of recognizing when it's time to let go.
Overall, these lyrics offer a reflection on the importance of mutual support and engagement within relationships. They provide insight into the singer's realization that love and relationships shouldn't be one-sided. The message is also about recognizing when it's time to let go of toxic relationships, no matter how hard it may be.
