Too Late
Mat Zo feat. Sinead Egan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And a whisper, calling out a name
Turn around, let's realize the one we so adore
And her song, sung forevermore
Is it too late?
Am I too late?
Oh why can't forever last?
Dry your tears my friend, all is not lost yet
We're fighting the fear of losing a losing game.
This song's for us, of past present and future.
There's no use questioning when my heart will beat again.
Is it too late?
Am I too late?
Oh why can't forever last?
Why can't we change the past?
The Mat Zo feat. Sinead Egan song “Too Late” is a reflection on the realization of losing someone who was deeply cared for. The opening lines “Look out the window, all I see is rain/And a whisper, calling out a name” suggests a hopeless feeling as if the outside world is reflecting the somber state of mind. The lyrics also evoke a sense of longing and remembrance for someone special with the lines “Turn around, let's realize the one we so adore/And her song, sung forevermore”. The latter could be interpreted as a metaphor for the memories and moments shared with this individual, forever etched into the mind.
The repetition of “Is it too late?/Am I too late?” in the chorus reinforces the theme of time running out, regret, and the desire for things to somehow be different. The lines “Why can't forever last?/Why can't we change the past?” reveal their wish for a second chance, even though they know deep down that it’s impossible. Additionally, the phrase “Dry your tears my friend, all is not lost yet/We're fighting the fear of losing a losing game” can be seen as an attempt to comfort and encourage moving forward from the past.

This song pumps my body full of endorphins, exactly like when I heard Mat Zo - The Sky, the first time. Feels so good to close my eyes and literally feel the music. Thank you, Matan.
