Later
II-J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ignite my fire
In the rain
I sacrificed too much
Ignore the pain

Don't say sorry, you've ruined it too much
Compensation will never be enough
You never admit the lies you made it up
Explanation who would give a fuck

Sooner later sooner later
Sooner later what goes and comes around
Sooner later sooner later
Sooner later who really cares about it

Sooner later sooner later
Sooner later what goes and comes around
Sooner later sooner later
Sooner later who really cares about it

Plenty of sadness
In my vain
This war seems endless
What do you think
You leave us no choice so how could we forget
You aren't listening, what's in your head

Sooner later sooner later
Sooner later what goes and comes around
Sooner later sooner later
Sooner later who really cares about it

Sooner later sooner later
Sooner later what goes and comes around




Sooner later sooner later
Sooner later who really cares about it

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, the lyrics express a sense of frustration and disappointment in someone who has caused pain and deception. The line "Ignite my fire in the rain" could be interpreted as feeling a spark of hope or passion, even in difficult times. The line "I sacrificed too much, ignore the pain" suggests that despite the sacrifices made, the pain caused by this person has been disregarded or overlooked.


The following lines convey a sense of resentment towards this person. The lyrics state, "Don't say sorry, you've ruined it too much" indicating that apologies are not enough to make amends for the damage caused. The line "Compensation will never be enough" suggests a belief that there is no possible way for this person to make up for the harm they have inflicted.


The lyrics continue to express frustration with the individual's refusal to acknowledge their lies, as evidenced by the line "You never admit the lies you made it up." Finally, the lyrics assert that an explanation from this person would be meaningless, as in the line "Explanation who would give a fuck," indicating a sense of apathy towards any justifications they may offer.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Sooner later, sooner later" along with the line "what goes and comes around." This could be interpreted as a reference to the idea that eventually, consequences catch up with those who have caused harm or deceit. The lyrics also draw attention to the question of who truly cares about this situation, suggesting a feeling of being alone in dealing with the aftermath of this person's actions.


The second verse continues to emphasize the sadness and seemingly endless nature of the pain caused, as in the line "Plenty of sadness in my vain." The lyrics express a sense of being trapped in a war-like situation and pose the question, "What do you think?" perhaps in an attempt to understand the motivations behind the actions of this person.


The lyrics suggest that this person has left no other option but to remember and not forget what they have done. The line "You leave us no choice so how could we forget" implies a lingering resentment and unwillingness to let go of the hurt caused. The lyrics also convey a sense of frustration in the person's inability or unwillingness to listen, as stated in the line "You aren't listening, what's in your head."


Overall, the lyrics of "Later" convey a deep sense of disappointment, resentment, and frustration towards someone who has caused pain and deception. The repetition of the phrases "sooner later" and "what goes and comes around" implies a belief in the eventual revelation of truth and accountability. The lyrics also touch on the feeling of isolation and lack of support in dealing with the consequences of this person's actions.

Some people are natural, like my
brother; he just listened to my
records and started singing, and
he just fucking got it!
He was singing like " Dude Looks
Like a Lady" or something, and
my jaw just fucking dropped.

Btw. I don't think that any of
those great "Seattle" singers,
like Layne Staley or Chris cornell
ever took any lessons, they just
got better and better at it, by
doing it.

Chris Cornell was great until
his death, while Bon Jovi has
been awful for many years.
I think his voice has been
shot for ten years or so.

Man, thanks for this 1:44.. I often wonder why sometimes I can hit a part of a song right and sometimes not.. You've basically made me realize what I'm doing right when I do nail it.. Love your videos, advice and enthusiasm..
More power..

Being able to replay over and over when you sing a line (and to sing it with you) is incredibly helpful to me. Something I doubt I could get in person without driving the instructor insane! :P

Excellent tutorial. Your notes are full of power and you make them seem so easy. Is your technique Bel Canto based?

Apollo Papp

I sing this song in my band and I Know how hard it is and how long it has taken me to sing well!

Sean Williams

I'd love to be able to do that! LOL I always break into falsetto around D4-E4. Just can't keep those cords adducted LOL

Teisha W

You have the voice of a god. I'd kill to have lessons from you! Is singing something that's in your genes/comes somewhat naturally? I've been singing for about a year, but I have no musical talent in my family history so it's a sure challenge. I wanna sound like you someday!
