Too Late
Remorseful Reflections: Too Late for Love and Redemption
Lyrics
Shades of weathered statues
Reference to aged statues with signs of wear and tear
Made with hands that carved precious marble
Crafted by skilled hands from valuable marble
Through the gothic portal
Passing through a gothic entrance or structure
She walks and asks
A woman walks and inquires about her deceased mother's resting place
Where her mother's resting in peace
Asking where her mother peacefully rests in death
Where she now rests in peace
Expressing where the mother currently rests in peace
Crossing over white paths
Moving along white paths on a journey
She now cries before coming to the tomb
Crying before reaching the tomb
Now covered by all the colours of
The tomb is now adorned with various colored flowers, symbolizing love
The best flowers chosen with love
Selection of flowers with love for the deceased
Chosen with love
Emphasizing the loving choice of flowers
Beloved mother
Affectionate reference to the departed mother
Too late
Expressing regret or sorrow
Now is too late
Highlighting that it is now too late for something
For a love never remembered
Regret for a love that was never remembered
To a mother dead a stranger
The mother is now a stranger in death
For a victim of your shadow
Reference to the mother as a victim of someone's shadow
Pay your shame now
Urging the person to face shame and consequences
Cry only for yourself 'cause
Encouraging self-reflection and tears for oneself
She does not deserve your tears
Asserting that the mother does not deserve tears
Where were you when she was ill
Questioning the absence during the mother's illness
Where were you when she was in need of help
Asking about the whereabouts during the mother's need for help
To cure her solitude from when her life
Addressing the mother's solitude and the impact of the father's death
Was changed by your father's sad death
Referring to the change in the mother's life due to the father's sad death
By your father's death
Recalling the impact of the father's death on the mother
Beloved mother
Reiteration of affection for the mother
Too late
Repetition of the idea that it is now too late for something
Now is too late
Reiterating the regret for a love never remembered
For a love never remembered
Re-emphasizing that the mother is now a stranger in death
To a mother dead a stranger
Repetition of the idea that the mother is a victim of someone's shadow
For a victim of your shadow
Reiterating the call to face shame and consequences
Pay your shame now
Reiteration of encouraging self-reflection and tears for oneself
Cry only for yourself 'cause
Repeating the assertion that the mother does not deserve tears
She does not deserve your tears
Repetition of the idea that it is too late for something
Too late
Final assertion that it is too late
