Better Late Than Never
Embrace Change, Make It Right: Better Late Than Never by Sweet Needles
Lyrics
You always say you want a big motivation
You express a desire for significant motivation.
You don’t get it you won’t get it
Despite your desire, you fail to understand or attain it.
but you never talked about your deep ambition
You never discuss your profound ambitions.
You don’t get it you won’t get it
Similar to line 2, you lack understanding or attainment of your aspirations.
It’s time to wake up yourself cauz
It's time for self-awareness because your complacency is affecting you.
it’s by your side where the slackness is high
The cause of your lethargy is close to you.
you should never surrender
Emphasizes resilience; don't give up.
better late than ever
Action is better delayed than never taken.
the ball is in your court
The responsibility or opportunity is yours.
you gotta make it right
You must correct the situation.
you won’t be there forever
You won't be in this situation forever.
better late than ever
Action is preferable late than not at all.
come on take your balls you gonna make it right
Encourages taking charge and making things right.
you ‘re telling me i’m a piece of shit
You're criticized, being called worthless.
and your explanations ‘bout myself was so fuckin curt
Explanations about yourself were unhelpfully brief.
I guess you want me to move my ass
There's a desire for you to act and stop being idle.
should i move on and stop smoking grass
Should you move forward and abandon unproductive habits?
wait a minute and look at yourself
Reflect on your own life before judging others.
can you realize that your life is a mess
Acknowledge that your life is in disarray.
you should never surrender
Reiterates the importance of not giving up.
better late than ever
Delaying action is better than never acting.
the ball is in your court
The choice or opportunity is in your hands.
you gotta make it right
You need to rectify the situation.
you won’t be there forever
You won't be stuck in this situation indefinitely.
better late than ever
Action is preferable late than not at all, again.
come on take your balls you gonna make it right
Encouragement to take charge and correct the situation, again.
you should never surrender
Reiterating the importance of resilience.
better late than never
Delayed action is better than no action.
you gotta be someone
Become someone significant.
yeah sing this song along
Encouragement to sing along with the song.
you’re only messing around
Admonishment for engaging in frivolous activities.
you’d better turn your back
Suggests turning away from what is holding you back.
to what is keeping u down
Repeats the advice to distance yourself from negative influences.
to what is keeping u down
Repeated emphasis on distancing from negativity.
the ball is in your court
Reiterates the responsibility or opportunity being yours.
you gotta make it right
You must correct the situation.
you won’t be there forever
You won't be stuck in this situation indefinitely, repeated.
better late than ever
Action is preferable late than not at all, repeated.
come on take your balls you gonna make it right
Encourages taking charge and making things right, repeated.
You always say you want a big motivation
Reiterates the desire for significant motivation.
but you never talked about your deep ambition
You still haven't discussed your deep ambitions.
well it’s time to be much happier
It's time to prioritize happiness.
it’s time to say goodbye
Time to bid farewell, possibly to negative influences.
