Too Late
kohatred Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Follow me into my world of disillusion
rely on me, I’ll take you there
No chance to hide, facing the truth
There’s no reason to deny the feelings in me
Can’t bite the bullet, don’t know why

No longer repressing the pain burns inside me
No chance to ignore it the pain burns inside me
No release to obtain the pain burns inside me
It’s time to confess I adore you

Just lying to myself, afraid to reveal
Got to decide what I want
I brace up prepared to open my heart
No longer gainsaying the pain burns inside me
It’s time to confess that I love you





Too late
Time’s up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kohatred's song "Too Late" tell the story of someone who has been living a life of denial, repressing their feelings for someone they love. The song's opening lines invite the listener into the singer's world of disillusion - a world where they have been hiding behind a facade of indifference, pretending that they don't care about the person they love. The singer asks the listener to rely on them, promising to take them to a place where they will have to face the truth about their feelings.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "the pain burns inside me", emphasizing the agony of living a life of denial. The singer admits that they have been lying to themselves and are now ready to "open their heart" and confess their love. The final lines of the song, "too late, time's up", suggest that the singer's confession is coming too late to make a difference - perhaps the object of their affection has moved on or is no longer available.


In summary, "Too Late" is a song about the pain of living with unrequited love and the agony of denial. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who finally realizes that they can no longer repress their feelings and must confess their love, even if it is too late.
