Never Too Late
Number H Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you live in a burning cage
Where everybody tries to hide
the truth from your eyes
Every chance of your life
Buried under drunken lies
But you know that you can't hide
No matter what they say
You gotta play this game
If you don't find the way
Nobody can help you
Don't you know it's time to wake up
And open your mind?
It's been so long, and your life is the same
But it's never too late to try
You're afraid to make mistakes
That's why you're gonna waste your days
But you know that you can't hide
The fear in your eyes
No matter what they say
You gotta play this game
If you don't find the way
Nobody can help you
Don't you know it's time to wake up
And open your mind?
It's been so long, and your life is the same
But it's never too late to try
It's never too late to try
The lyrics to Number H's song "Never Too Late" speak to the fear of failure and the tendency to self-sabotage that can come with it. The verse "You're afraid to make mistakes, so you live in a burning cage where everybody tries to hide the truth from your eyes" paints a vivid picture of how fear can trap us and lead to isolation from those around us. The chorus echoes this sentiment, urging the listener to "wake up and open your mind" and reminding them that it's never too late to try.
The second verse of the song continues this theme, describing how the fear of making mistakes can lead to a life wasted, and closing with the poignant line, "But you know that you can't hide the fear in your eyes." The repetition of the chorus throughout the song underscores the message that the only way to overcome fear and move forward is to take action, and that it's never too late to do so.
Overall, "Never Too Late" is a powerful reminder that fear can be a powerful force, but that it doesn't have to control our lives. By facing our fears and taking action, we can break out of the cages we've created for ourselves and live life to the fullest.
