Too Late
TNT Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna hide
But I'm feeling stuck inside
Like a baby that's way overdue
Nothing more to be
Just another casualty
Of a place where all the lies are true

Chorus:
Is it too late, are we too late?
To turn it all around, it's hard to say
If we lose faith, guess it's too late

Reaching for a gun
You're not reaching anyone
If only we could fight with words
Not kill each other still

Chorus:
Is it too late, are we too late?
To turn it all around, it's hard to say
Well it's too late if we lose faith
Bye bye bye...

Time to wake, time to heal
We gotta touch, we gotta feel

Chorus:
Too late, is it too late?
Cause everything just feels so out of tune
If we lose faith, then it's too late
Bye bye bye...

Reaching for a gun
You're not reaching anyone




If only we could fight with words, not kill
Is it too late?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Too Late" by TNT are a reflection of the frustration and hopelessness felt by the singer in a world where violence and lies seem to reign supreme. The song begins with the singer expressing a desire to be honest and open, but feeling trapped inside, like a "baby that's way overdue." This feeling of being stuck in a situation beyond their control is frustrating and overwhelming, and the singer laments that there is "nothing more to be" than just another victim of a world where lies are accepted as truth.


The chorus poses the question of whether it is too late to make a change and turn things around. The singer acknowledges that it is difficult to say, but losing faith would certainly mean that it is too late. The idea of losing faith seems to refer to the notion that violence and hatred have become so ingrained in society that it feels impossible to imagine a different way of being. The singer longs for a world where people can "fight with words" instead of guns, but the reality is that this seems unlikely.


The second verse repeats the same idea of reaching for a gun and not reaching anyone, emphasizing the fruitlessness of violence as a means of solving problems. The bridge introduces the idea of waking up and healing as a solution, calling for people to connect with each other on a deeper level and truly feel one another's pain. However, the final chorus suggests that it may be too late to make any real change, as everything feels "out of tune" and losing faith would mean that all hope is gone.


Overall, "Too Late" is a powerful commentary on the state of the world and the frustration felt by those who long for a more peaceful and compassionate society. It highlights the problems of violence, lies, and lack of connection between people, and challenges listeners to consider whether it is possible to make a change before it is too late.
