"The video begins with a little girl getting out of bed and dancing in a circle with her parents. Suddenly, the scene cuts to a woman struggling with nurses in a psychiatric hospital, then going back into a room with the little girl and her parents dancing.
The scene cuts back to the little girl; her parents let go of her hands and leave, and a man in a sweater approaches her and smiles, then touches her shoulder. The video then begins to cut rapidly back and forth between the woman being restrained in the mental institution and the girl dancing with her parents, who now have tape over their eyes. During this back and forth, the leather restraints turn into arms, bearing the same sleeves as the man in the sweater.
The video goes back to the little girl hiding underneath her bed as the man in the sweater flips it. Suddenly the girl and the man are sitting in a similar position as earlier in the video, but the man is frozen and the girl walks towards the camera. Feathers begin to fall from the top of the screen and a man in black with large black wings is shown. The video momentarily cuts back to the institution, where the woman watches a butterfly fly around on numerous medical instruments. The scene once again shifts back to the little girl, who is now sitting in bed with a large amount of black hand prints on and around her; the camera slowly pans out to show the man in the sweater, his hands covered in black paint.
The scene suddenly shifts to the man with wings struggling with the man in the sweater as the little girl watches from her bed and black feathers fall on her. The scene shifts back to the mental institution, where feathers are similarly falling on the woman. Her restraints disappear in the form of the man's hands letting go of her. She curls into a ball for several moments, then gets out of bed and walks into the camera,while the feathers form the silhouette of wings around her"
Never Too Late
Three Days Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it?
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it?
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It's not too late
It's never too late
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
The world we knew
Won't come back
The time we've lost
Can't get it back
The life we had
Won't be ours again
This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late (It's never too late)
It's not too late
It's never too late
The song "Never Too Late" by Three Days Grace is about the struggles of life, depression, and suicide. The first two lines set the tone for the song, with the singer stating that the world is not what was expected. It is not a perfect world, and things don't always go according to plan. The next few lines express the feeling of not fitting in, of being an outcast in society. The singer says that even if he leaves everything he owns, he still feels like he doesn't belong.
The chorus is a plea to those who are feeling lost and hopeless, who may be contemplating suicide. The singer is saying that it's never too late to turn things around and find hope. The line "Even if I say it'll be alright, still, I hear you say you want to end your life" is particularly powerful because it shows the struggle of someone who is trying to help but is helpless in the face of someone who has given up on life. The next line is a message of hope, that even though life can be difficult, we must try to stay alive. The final lines of the chorus express the hope that things can be turned around, that it's never too late.
The song closes by repeating the message that it's never too late and that life can always be turned around. The final lines express a sense of resignation, that the world will never be what we expected, but despite that, we can still find hope and redemption. "Never Too Late" is a powerful and inspiring song that speaks to those who are struggling with the challenges of life and offers a message of hope.

This song was used in my brother's memorial after he committed suicide. he'd be 34 today. Happy Birthday Jer, I'm sorry I couldn't save you.
EDIT: To everyone that has responded, I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart. I didn't expect this to blow up like it did, I just wrote it when i was in a dark place. I'm doing a lot better now, it still hurts but not as much as it did. Thank you for your kind words they really mean a lot and they have helped. Take of yourselves tell your loved ones how much they mean to you, remember that you're valued, loved, and worth it. God bless.
EDIT 2: Thanks again for all the nice comments again. I just want to add something that I read recently. "You want to die? Then throw yourself into the sea and you'll see yourself fighting to survive.
You do not want to kill yourself, rather you want to kill something inside of you."
Please, find a way to kill that thing inside you without it killing you too. Thank you

I don't know who you are but I'm in the same boat. I haven't felt any feelings in a long time and suddenly things are just coming back, and I found this song again.
I am in a state of "functional freeze" (I just learned about it, sounds like what you're describing-hard to function from prolonged stress, overwhelm), and I get it. I feel stuck, trapped still by the chains of my past. Thanks for reminding me that no matter how niche my issues may seem, a lot of people are dealing with very similar things and I'm not alone in my struggle.
My parents were the worst, years of no contact by now. They didn't protect me from the evils lurking in this world. I was homeless, addicted, barely made it out alive to be honest. Many, many scars from the many attempts to end it all. Now I am so overwhelmed with the memories that haunt me, I cannot function like a normal person.
You're bound to other humans by your shared pain and grief and trauma. So many people deeply understand your suffering and although it doesn't make our situations any better, there's at least always going to be that human connection. Through lots of care and healing and therapy, your connection to your humanity will be something you always have to hold onto.
Please take care of yourself. Go easy on yourself and do not be harsh. You are not to blame for all of the chaos that brought you to this point. It's your job to just hold on, just do what you can, and find a way to work through some of it. Therapy has helped keep me alive. Finding a way to understand what happened and how to put yourself back together has helped me tremendously, just to be able to put a word/name to things that happened ( like narcissistic a b u s e, and learning about complex PTSD).
Sorry for the long winded response, I just really resonated with your comment and wanted you to know you're not alone, even if you feel super alone in your thoughts and feelings (as I often do). Hoping you find some comfort and peace along this journey of life. You're incredibly resilient, and you have it within you to use it as your superpower, you just have to work through some of the stuff holding you back. I believe in you. ❤

This song starts out with a young girl happy with her life,
dancing around in a circle. This shows them as one big happy family. When her parents leave the man with the sweater comes in
and she has no one else so she trusts him. It shows the girl's
parents with tape over their eyes to show that they can't see the
pain she is going through. The woman being taken by the nurses is
the little girl as a woman. She is being brought into an insane asylum because the pain of the days when the sweater man had
molested her were too painful and brought her to try and commit
suicide. The hands that are holding the woman down are the
molester's hands because what he did brought her there. It keeps
showing the little girl and they are the memories of the woman's innocence of childhood and how it was taken away. The black hand
prints you see show that she was touched everywhere by the sweater
man because you see the black ink on his hands. The winged man
attacking the sweater man is not a demon as so many others have
stated. He is her guardian angel and is attacking the molester (or
sweater man) to protect her. As the guardian angel wins feathers
start to fall on both the little girl and the woman showing that
she is free from this memory of the molester. The woman walks away,
smiling, not held down anymore because her guardian angel has freed
her.

This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it?
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it?
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It's not too late
It's never too late
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
The world we knew
Won't come back
The time we've lost
Can't get it back
The life we had
Won't be ours again
This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late (It's never too late)
It's not too late
It's never too late

Beautifully True.
@valeriadelrio-rodriguez4953
That is so fuckn true
@vogzweig4658
People think about rock music is about violent but the truth is rock music wants to save your life.
@kia2994
zweig oh idk
@flopjokdang7127
So right
@kingexclusivo
zweig — If anybody thinks rock is violent it’s because they’ve never heard it before. Best genre by far, I used to be a hip hop head, thought rock was satanic or something because of the stereotypes people have on rock.Its actually the opposite, lyrics in Rock music are some of the most inspiring. Mostly about overcoming tough situations, loving people around you and having a good time.
