It's about time for another Canadian high-octane band to set the world on fire. Standing on the shoulders of Canadian giants like Annihilator, Exciter, Cauldron and the best of European and American Speed Metal, STRIKER certainly are one of the finest newcomers from Canada in the last decade.
Formed in 2007 by Ian Sandercock and Dan Cleary, Striker found a consistent lineup in the Summer of 2008 and released their debut EP “Road Warrior” on Iron Kodex Records. The widely praised EP warranted a European tour invitation, which included stops at the renowned “Keep it True” Festival in Germany and the “Pounding Metal” Festival in Madrid Spain in Spring 2010, but unfortunately due to volcanic activity the trip had to be cancelled (See the song Fuck Volcanoes for more details)
With their debut full-length “Eyes in the Night” receiving rave reviews from all over the world , Striker are fully loaded and ready to shred!!
Members:
Dan Cleary - Lead Vocals
Ian Sandercock - Lead/Rhythm Guitar
Chris Segger - Lead/Rhythm Guitar
Dave Arnold - Bass Guitar
Adam Brown - Drums
Too Late
Striker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out in the streets again alone, alone
And I was looking for you
But I can't see to find my way, my way
Too late to stay too late to go
Too hot to touch too cold to hold
Tonight's the night it's all the way
It's too late for love this time
It's such a fine line (fine line)
It's too late for love this time
I can't get it right (get it right)
It's too late for love this time
It's such a fine line (fine line)
It's too late for love this time
I can't get it right (get it right)
If we meet in the middle
We will find the love tonight, again
I can feel it coming on so strong, so strong
Too late to stay too late to go (too late to go)
Too hot to touch too cold to hold
Tonight's the night it's all the way
But she said to me
It's too late for love this time
It's such a fine line (fine line)
It's too late for love this time
I can't get it right (get it right)
It's too late for love this time
Ooh, it's such a fine line (fine line)
It's too late for love this time
I can't get it right (get it right)
It's too late for love
It's too late for love
Too late to stay too late to go (too late to go)
Too hot to touch too cold to hold
Tonight's the night it's all the way
But she said to me
It's too late for love this time
It's such a fine line (fine line)
It's too late for love this time
I can't get it right (get it right)
It's too late for love this time
It's too late for love this time
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late for love
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late for love
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late for love
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late for love
The lyrics to Striker's song "Too Late" are about longing for love and the emotional turmoil that comes with being unable to find it. The song's protagonist is out alone in the streets, searching for someone, but can't seem to find his way. He wants to find love, but it's too late to turn back or go forward. The chorus repeats that it's "too late for love this time" and that the singer "can't get it right". These lyrics suggest that the singer has missed his chance for love and may never find it again.
The bridge of the song offers a glimmer of hope. If the singer and his love interest can "meet in the middle", they may be able to find love tonight. This small ray of hope is short-lived, however, as the chorus repeats that it's "too late for love this time."
Overall, the lyrics to "Too Late" are relatable to anyone who has felt fear or doubt about finding love. The song's protagonist is searching but ultimately feels like he's missed his opportunity. This sense of longing and disappointment is captured in the song's catchy chorus, which repeats that it's "too late for love this time" and that the singer "can't get it right."
Line by Line Meaning
The night is calling
The darkness seems to be beckoning me
Out in the streets again alone, alone
I am wandering the streets all by myself yet another time
And I was looking for you
I was hoping to meet you
But I can't seem to find my way, my way
However, I am lost and directionless, unable to locate you
Too late to stay too late to go
It is too late to stay or to leave the situation I am in
Too hot to touch too cold to hold
It's a conflicting feeling; it's both inviting and frustrating in equal measures
Tonight's the night it's all the way
Tonight is the night where everything goes
But she said to me
However, what she told me was
It's too late for love this time
It is too late to have love now
It's such a fine line (fine line)
The difference between making it work and failure is very slight
I can't get it right (get it right)
I am having trouble getting it right
If we meet in the middle
If we compromise with each other
We will find the love tonight, again
We can rediscover our love tonight
I can feel it coming on so strong, so strong
I have a strong feeling that love is returning
It's too late for love
It is too late for us to fall in love again

Cannot believe that I just discovered these guys. Went and got their entire discography. Love the diversity of their music. I'm all in on the European metal scene lately. Bands like Bloody Heels, Areodyne, Snakebite, Black Swamp Water, Crazy Lixx, Confess are at the top of my list along with Exxocet from Chile. Great stuff from Edmonton!!

@Mark Pam are you sure that you didn't mean whiplash?
Mark Pam
It's not just you, and yes they're "Too Late". By about 35 years or so. But hey! As long as they don't give themselves brain damage drying their hair that way, who am I to judge!
Hector
Awesome!!! What a song! 80´s metal alive again!!!
Palmer Griffiths
