Too Late
Queen Ifrica & Jr. Kelly Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We have only scratched the surface of the pain that has yet to come
You feel panic you feel fear no safe place where will you run
Where have our leaders gone in our time of need
Watch as the world falls upon her knees

I've been waiting for the world to change
I'm praying it's not too late to be saved

Don't turn to me for sympathy the tanks bone dry below empty
No remorse for the earth you've betrayed now watch her bleed
Some people never learn to absorb what they see
Knowledge will always be the ultimate key

I've been waiting for the world to change
I'm praying it's not too late to be saved

Can you be the one to stop it all we're almost out of time
Everyone is waiting use the power of your mind

You have killed your soul
You have burned the world

Nothing lasts forever
We will start over

Overall Meaning

In Queen Ifrica & Jr. Kelly's song Too Late, the lyrics express a sense of urgency and panic as the world is faced with a crisis caused by humans. The first verse talks about the pain that has yet to come and how there seems to be no safe place to run.

The line "Watch as the world falls upon her knees" signifies the magnitude of the crisis.

The second verse addresses the lack of remorse that people who have caused the earth's destruction show towards it. The tanks are bone dry below empty and the earth is bleeding out, but instead of feeling sympathy towards the earth, they turn to other people. The line "Some people never learn to absorb what they see, knowledge will always be the ultimate key" highlights the importance of being aware of the consequences of our actions and learning from them.

The chorus of the song expresses the hope that it is not too late to save the world. It talks about waiting for the world to change and praying that it can still be saved. The last verse calls for action and a change in behavior before it is too late. It asks if one can be the one to stop the crisis, using the power of their mind.
