Too Late
Nightmare Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out of the way through the rays of the light
She used to sell what all men want to buy
She makes a gleam of delight shining on every guy's
Mind
Standing on the streets she throws you a little smile
She says give you my lips if you're ready to pay the
Price
Chorus: but I've seen it in her eyes she would like
Another life
But today's too late... too late
Today's too late... to change
Today's too late... your way
Today's too late

She wanted to be free so free so she fell down in this
Sad jail
And she cries when she sees a red light shining on a
Daze

Chorus:

Out of the way on the rays of the light
She used to sell what all man want to buy





Chorus...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nightmare's song "Too Late" tell the story of a young woman who is forced to sell her body on the streets in order to survive. Despite the fact that she hates her life and wants desperately to be free, she feels trapped in her situation and can see no way out. She tries to find some small measure of joy in her work by bringing happiness to the men she services, but ultimately she knows that she is trapped in a life that she hates.


The first few lines of the song describe the woman as standing on the streets and throwing a little smile at the men who pass her by. She offers them her lips if they are willing to pay the price, which is a clear reference to prostitution. The chorus of the song focuses on the woman's desire to escape her life, but how she feels that it is impossible to do so. She is trapped in a world that she hates and she knows that it is too late to change her situation.


The second verse of the song describes the woman as feeling trapped in a kind of sad jail. She cries when she sees the red lights of the cars passing her by, signifying that she is stuck in her situation and cannot escape. The final lines of the song repeat the same message as the chorus, stating that it is too late to change her ways and find a better life.


Overall, "Too Late" is a powerful and haunting song that speaks to the struggles faced by many people who are caught in situations that they would rather not be in. The lyrics are poignant and emotional, and the music perfectly captures the sense of despair and hopelessness that the woman in the song feels.

Mario hit down the axe to get rid of bowser but Luigi wasn't on the other side falling into the lava.

For some reason this makes me like Luigi even better.

I like how this dude is not afraid it makes me not scared he makes stuff funny

the unpopular sss charcter

I'm thinking Luigi got betrayed because maybe after finally killing Bowser Mario kicked Luigi in the pit saying he didn't need him anymore but when Mario thought he was dead a strange anomaly made him come back to life and his only goal was to kill Mario for revenge

KRISTIAN

This does not make sense because then why would he be weeping and crying over his death even believing he came back when too late.exe said his name

Derrick James

Siss88
