Jade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it too late, is it too late
Is it too late, is it too late, ah ah ah
Is it too late, is it too late
There's a faint glow on my phone (my phone)
Notification says on this day 4 years ago
And then my heart turns into stone (to stone)
It shows a photo of us smiling outside your home
But I guess this goes to show
I was lying to myself
I've been missing you and the things you used to do
When we were more than friends
Every time I hear your name (hear your name)
My heart breaks all over again
If I ever see your face (see your face)
I won't know how to react
Do you still think of me (think of me)
On those nights where you can't sleep
Or have you moved on from me (is it too late)
Is it too late for me
Is it too late, is it too late, ah ah ah
Is it too late, is it too late
Is it too late, is it too late, ah ah ah
Is it too late, is it too late
Is it too late to say that I miss you
Is it too late to say that I wanna be with you
Cause I think that we can work it out
I know that we cared for each other so so bad
For things to just dissolve like that
Your friends say you're still solo
Remember that polaroid photo
Where we held each other close
But you probably threw it out by now
Who am I to you by now
I don't want to know the answer
Every time I hear your name (hear your name)
My heart breaks all over again
If I ever see your face (see your face)
I won't know how to react
Do you still think of me (think of me)
On those nights where you can't sleep
Or have you moved on from me (is it too late)
Is it too late for me
Every time I hear your name (hear your name)
My heart breaks all over again
If I ever see your face (see your face)
I won't know how to react
Do you still think of me (think of me)
On those nights where you can't sleep
Or have you moved on from me (is it too late)
Is it too late for me
The lyrics to Jade's song "Is It?" explore the feeling of longing for a past love and questioning whether it is too late to rekindle the relationship. The song begins with the repetition of the question, "Is it too late?" suggesting that the singer is uncertain about the possibility of reconnecting with their ex-partner.
The singer reflects on memories triggered by a notification on their phone. The photo that appears shows them smiling together outside their former partner's home, causing the singer's heart to turn into stone. This moment signifies the pain of realizing that they were just starting to move on, but the photo reignites the emotions they thought they had left behind.
The singer admits to lying to themselves about moving on, acknowledging that they have been missing their ex and the things they used to do together when they were more than friends. The mention of hearing their ex-partner's name further intensifies the emotional turmoil, indicating that the heartbreak resurfaces every time they are reminded of the past love.
The lyrics indicate a desperate desire to know if the ex still thinks of them on sleepless nights. The singer questions whether the ex has moved on from the relationship and whether it is too late for them to reconcile. This internal struggle becomes overwhelming, leaving the singer unsure of how they would react if they were to see their ex's face again. The lyrics encapsulate the vulnerability and uncertainty that come with the possibility of rekindling a lost love.
In conclusion, "Is It?" conveys the pain and longing felt by the singer as they grapple with the aftermath of a past relationship. The lyrics express the fear of being too late to mend what was once broken, as well as the lingering hope for another chance at love. The song creates an emotional atmosphere that resonates with anyone who has experienced a lost connection and ponders the possibilities of reconciliation.

Is it too late, is it too late, ah ah ah
Am I running out of time, is it too late for us to reconcile, ah ah ah
There's a faint glow on my phone (my phone)
A subtle light emits from my phone, symbolizing a notification
Notification says on this day 4 years ago
The notification informs me that on this exact day, four years ago, something significant happened
And then my heart turns into stone (to stone)
My heart solidifies and becomes cold and unfeeling
It shows a photo of us smiling outside your home
The notification reveals a photo capturing a moment of happiness shared by us, taken outside your residence
I was just starting to let you go
I had recently begun the process of moving on from our past relationship
But I guess this goes to show
However, this situation serves as evidence
I was lying to myself
I had been deceiving myself, denying my true feelings
I've been missing you and the things you used to do
I have been longing for you and reminiscing about the actions and gestures you performed during our time together
When we were more than friends
During the period when our connection surpassed mere friendship
Every time I hear your name (hear your name)
Whenever your name is mentioned or uttered
My heart breaks all over again
My heart shatters into pieces once more, causing immense pain
If I ever see your face (see your face)
In the event that I come face to face with you
I won't know how to react
I will be uncertain and unaware of the appropriate response or behavior
Do you still think of me (think of me)
Do thoughts of me still occupy your mind
On those nights where you can't sleep
During those sleepless nights, plagued by restlessness
Or have you moved on from me (is it too late)
Or have you progressed beyond our past relationship, making it too late for any possibility of reconciliation
Is it too late for me
Is there no hope left for me, is it too late to salvage our connection
Is it too late to say that I miss you
Is it too far gone to express my longing for you, to admit that I yearn for your presence
Is it too late to say that I wanna be with you
Is there still a chance for me to confess my desire to be by your side
Cause I think that we can work it out
Because I believe that we have the potential to resolve our issues and reconcile
I know that we cared for each other so so bad
I am aware that our love for each other was immensely strong and intense
For things to just dissolve like that
For our connection to abruptly disintegrate in such a manner
Your friends say you're still solo
According to your friends, you remain single
Remember that polaroid photo
Recall the polaroid photograph
Where we held each other close
Depicting the moment we embraced each other tightly
But you probably threw it out by now
However, you most likely discarded it by this time
Who am I to you by now
Considering the passage of time, what position or significance do I hold in your life currently
I don't want to know the answer
I prefer not to discover or learn the response to that question
Every time I hear your name (hear your name)
Whenever your name is mentioned or uttered
My heart breaks all over again
My heart shatters into pieces once more, causing immense pain
If I ever see your face (see your face)
In the event that I come face to face with you
I won't know how to react
I will be uncertain and unaware of the appropriate response or behavior
Do you still think of me (think of me)
Do thoughts of me still occupy your mind
On those nights where you can't sleep
During those sleepless nights, plagued by restlessness
Or have you moved on from me (is it too late)
Or have you progressed beyond our past relationship, making it too late for any possibility of reconciliation
Is it too late for me
Is there no hope left for me, is it too late to salvage our connection
Every time I hear your name (hear your name)
Whenever your name is mentioned or uttered
My heart breaks all over again
My heart shatters into pieces once more, causing immense pain
If I ever see your face (see your face)
In the event that I come face to face with you
I won't know how to react
I will be uncertain and unaware of the appropriate response or behavior
Do you still think of me (think of me)
Do thoughts of me still occupy your mind
On those nights where you can't sleep
During those sleepless nights, plagued by restlessness
Or have you moved on from me (is it too late)
Or have you progressed beyond our past relationship, making it too late for any possibility of reconciliation
Is it too late for me
Is there no hope left for me, is it too late to salvage our connection

Andrew...can you please go further into nephrite in a future video? I always feel that it gets overshadowed by its flashier cousin, jadeite. It is an important stone New Zealand ritually. They call it pounamu. Love your discussions on here! Thank you...you are providing a valuable service!
jean reynolds
@Ma Wi I cannoy hear him either.
Donald Kasper
His advice is that prettier stones are more expensive and street vendor stones are treated, sums it all up. He said zero about composition. For example, there is a lavendar jadeite out of Turkey. A miner asked me to study it in infrared as Chinese buyers were rejecting it. He has jadeite for sure, but it can have white regions of mixed muscovite mica and microcline feldspar. The feldspar is what the Chinese found although I think they claimed it was orthoclase. There was some quartz in another spot. So, I said, cut out the white areas and highgrade the stone for the jadeite. Essentially, if he wants top dollar, he has to cut and then scan each stone with some method of spectroscopy in a couple of spots and produce a report graph spectrum for that stone. This is what anyone who buys an expensive stone would have to do. The claim socalled high end dealers are more reputable is just bunk. I went many years ago into a Chinese jewelry store in a major hotel in downtown Los Angeles, tried on a Rolex of solid gold, did not buy it, but did buy two carved elephants reported to be fine jade. Forward 4 decades, I have an infrared laser spectrometer, and so scanned them out of curiosity. They are antigorite serpentine. Very pale, yellowish, almost like lizardite serpentine, but is an antigorite. So they lied. Very high end, meaning translucent pale serpentine without magnetite and other inclusions. Personally, fakes are just so common, buy it in the rough from the miner and process it (for example, I have diamond saws and wheels and can make my own cabochons), or get a jewelry maker you trust, or just forget it.

What's the matter Kimberly, can't you hear?
Jade Nephrite
Thank you for your video. Regarding 4:15 & 4:23, It is actually Nephrite that is tougher & more durable than Jadeite which is harder, denser but more brittle. Jadeite is a pyroxene mineral comprised of sodium aluminum iron silicate which has a Mohs hardness range from 6.5 to 7 and a specific gravity range from 3.28 to 3.38. On the other hand, Nephrite is an amphibole mineral comprised of calcium magnesium iron silicate having microcrystalline interlocking fibrous matrix which makes it tougher & more durable than Jadeite. Nephrite has a Mohs hardness range from 6 to 6.5 and a specific gravity range from 2.9 to 3.1. Thus Nephrite is slightly less hard and less dense than Jadeite. Jadeite and Nephrite do resemble similar minerals. The name Nephrite is derived from the Latin name Lapis Nephriticus which means stone for the kidney. Its Spanish name is piedra de ijada which gave rise to the name Jadeite. In olden days some cultures believed that jadeite or nephrite could alleviate pain from the kidneys. It was not until 1863 that French mineralogist Augustin Alexis Damour identified the differences between Jadeite from Nephrite as two separate minerals. The Chinese began lapidary work on Nephrite over 5,000 years ago. However during the 18th century, Jadeite imported from Burma into China became more popular than Nephrite for art and jewelry. This was because Jadeite has more vivid color and can be polished to a vitreous sheen whereas Nephrite's color is more subdued and its polish does not gleam as much as Jadeite. In Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica jadeite was also highly prized and fashioned into ceremonial art and jewelry objects. Nephrite is tougher than Jadeite which is harder but more brittle and prone to fracture. Nephrite was tough enough to make adze, axe heads and weapons before bronze in China supplanted Neolithic tools. Since Nephrite is such a tough stone, the Maori in New Zealand also used Nephrite which they call Pounamu to make adzes called toki, war clubs called mere and amulets called hei tiki and hei matau.
Donald Kasper
WY jade is fissile, and breaks up into shards constantly with any processing. This never occurs with jadeite. Jadeite is indestructible. Hardness has no relationship to tenacity. Nephrite is two minerals, actinolite and tremolite. The green nephrite is actinolite and the white is tremolite. Jadeite is a mineral, often confused with other green things around like omphacite and kosmochlor. All these minerals are distinct using infrared spectroscopy.
Gabi B.
Since finding your channel some days ago, my childhood passion for minerals has been revived. Thank you for all this coherent information! I'd love to see more microsope shots of different stones to see how different grades look under it, what is considered to be translucent, what inclusions are acceptable for a high grade stone etc.
Gerard
Thank you for clearing up what Jade is. I guess the ones I see being sold locally really are Jade, but are treated or just the low quality stuff. For years I have been so confused if they were fakes. Now I know better.
Amy Sommerfield
I have a black jade bracelet that was bought for me by my boyfriend at the time, in San Francisco. It wasn't as pricy as the dark green of course, but I preferred it. It's in a 24 k gold setting and I can testify, quite durable and very lovely.
Mai Me
This is great information! Thanks so much. Last year, I was introduced to Guatemalan Jadeite and they are beautiful and in top quality. Would love if you can talk about this in the future. Thanks so much!
