Karnstein in early 2010 and that draws most of its inspiration from the stylistic range of the New Wave genres (with a focus on dark synthpop and ethereal styles). All selfproduced demos have in the end of 2012 been combined into an EP entitled ¦demo¦ with "Reisen" and "Winterherz" also being published in remastered form on two gothic compilations.

2013 saw the release of Simon & Garfunkel cover song "Hazy shade of winter" and the deal with Obscure Music Studio, resulting in the release of the debut album "Nothing left for us to see" - digitally in October 2015, as well as on vinyl in January 2016 (via Spanish indie label Dead Wax Records, who had previously released a vinyl version of ¦demo¦ entitled "...und der Regen fällt").

Never Too Late
Farblos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

How could it be you never learned to speak?
You never knew that you could not see.
You were so wrong to think it was easy.
A wasted chance to make things as they should be.

But i know it's never too late,
And i know it's never too late.

You carry on to face another day.
There was a light - a guide upon your way.

The candle's out, but it's never really dark.
You took your leave, but there's a time to re-embark.

Overall Meaning

The song "Never too Late" by Farblos addresses the idea of missed opportunities and second chances. The opening lines, "How could it be you never learned to speak? You never knew that you could not see," suggest that the singer is speaking to someone who has not fully taken advantage of their abilities or potential. The next line, "You were so wrong to think it was easy," implies that this person possibly believed that success or achievement would come easily to them, but they have since realized the difficulty of the task at hand.

The next stanza, "A wasted chance to make things as they should be," further emphasizes the idea of missed opportunities. However, the chorus reassures that it is never too late to make a change or start something new, as the singer confidently declares, "But I know it's never too late, and I know it's never too late." This line suggests that the singer has faith in this person's ability to turn things around and encourages them to do so.

The final stanza, "You carry on to face another day. There was a light - a guide upon your way. The candle's out, but it's never really dark. You took your leave, but there's a time to re-embark," speaks to the idea of hope and resilience. The person being addressed may have experienced a setback or failure, represented by the "candle's out," but there is still a glimmer of hope and opportunity for them to start again. The use of the phrase "re-embark" suggests that this person has been on a journey of some kind, and they now have the chance to continue on that journey and potentially achieve their goals.

Overall, Farblos's "Never too Late" is a message of hope and encouragement, urging listeners to not give up on their dreams and reminding them that it is never too late to try again.
