Too Late
Marco & Martin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I keep singing the same old blues
To a rhythm that satisfies my soul
A leap of faith eludes me
I just don't seem to get my fill

And it's alright
Until it's too late
Until it's too late

I don't believe the lies they say
Fairytales tell us things about heaven and hell
I wanna live the way I choose
I don't need no hypocrite telling me what to do

And it's alright
Until it's too late
Until it's too late
Yeah

I'm not here to make amends
I'd rather shoot myself in the head before I bend
And you're all just full of shit
Medicated, uneducated and so unkind

And it's alright
Until it's too late




Until it's too late
Until it's too late

Overall Meaning

In "Too Late," Marco & Martin present a commentary on society and the personal struggles that arise within it. The lyrics express the vocalist's feelings of discontent and disillusionment with the world around them, and their desire to live life on their own terms while rejecting hypocritical and unkind behavior. The song begins with the singer admitting that they keep singing "the same old blues," suggesting a sense of stagnation and dissatisfaction with their life. This is momentarily alleviated by the rhythm that satisfies their soul. However, a "leap of faith" eludes them, and they seem unable to find fulfillment in their current situation.


As the song continues, the vocalist becomes more assertive, denouncing the lies and hypocrisy that they see around them. They reject what they see as the false promise of heaven and hell presented in fairytales and instead choose to live life on their own terms. The singer's confidence grows as they dismiss those who would judge and control them, claiming they would rather die than bend to their will. The song ends with a repetition of the refrain and the realization that it's only "too late" when their choices are no longer theirs to make.


Overall, "Too Late" is a song that speaks to the personal struggle for meaning and authenticity in a world filled with hypocrisy and manipulation. It encourages listeners to make their own choices and to reject the easy answers and expectations of society, even if it means going against the norm.
