Late
Kid Freud Lyrics

Twenty-one
The age of the singer who is going through a tough phase in life.

Lioness too young to be expecting
A metaphorical comparison of the singer's youth with a lioness who is too young to have cubs.

All alone
The singer is alone facing the consequences of her actions.

You were just having fun
The artist was merely enjoying her life without worrying about consequences.

Now the fun's done and you got no one
The fun times are over and the artist is left alone to deal with the consequences.

Could've happened to anyone
The singer acknowledges that it could happen to anyone and she is not the only one in this situation.

Bleeding out
The singer is going through a tough, emotional time.

Middle of the night, see another night
The artist is awake in the middle of the night, contemplating her situation.

Panning out
Her life is unfolding and she is unsure of where it is heading.

Holding on
The artist is holding on to hope for salvation.

For a saviour that you know won't come
The singer knows that no one can save her from the situation she is in.

Oh, she's late
The artist is late for her period and may be pregnant.

Feeling all her years slipping away
The singer feels like her youth is slipping away with the possibility of motherhood.

And mother's only telling you what you did wrong
The singer's mother is chastising her for not being more responsible.

Looks like life's gonna change
The singer knows that her life is going to change drastically.

Won't finish school on time
The artist's education may be disrupted due to her situation.

Won't stay young and fun and flirty till you're Twenty-fucking-nine
The artist won't be able to enjoy her youth and carefree life until her late twenties.

Heartache couldn't compare to this
The singer feels that her current situation is worse than any heartache she has experienced.

I bet that silly little boy probably won't get missed
The singer's partner may not even realize the gravity of the situation and how it has affected her negatively.

Never met that nurse before
The artist is going through the process of dealing with the pregnancy and childbirth without knowing any of the medical staff.

But she's guiding you through hell's door
The artist is going through a difficult time and the medical staff is helping her through it despite the tough situation.

Holding on till the holding on is all you've done
The artist is holding on to hope and not letting go despite her situation.

Lashing out again
The singer may be taking her frustration out on others.

Are we lovers, are we friends?
The artist may be questioning her relationship with her partner.

Did we forget to draw the line?
The singer is questioning whether they should have been more careful in their relationship and avoided this situation.

Couldn't make it better if I tried and I didn't
The singer realizes that there is nothing she can do to change the past or avoid the current situation.

But it happened to you
The singer acknowledges that she is in this situation and must face the consequences.
