Julian Lennon - Too Late for Goodbyes Meaning
Song Released: 1985
Too Late for Goodbyes Lyrics
I've been wanting to cry
Now I know how it feels for you
I've been wanting to die
But it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes
Time has gone since I've been with you
And...

This song is an excellent example of how artists are capable of multiple messages in one song. A first listen gives the impression of a person singing about a lost romantic relationship, and the lyrics definitely support that idea. The reality is the song is about Julian Lennon's feelings for his murdered father, John Lennon. Some people dramatized bitter feelings between the two. The inspirations for the song indicate otherwise and that they were kept apart by malicious people. The music video for this song shows a door with a man standing in it. This was inspired by the cover of the The Moody Blues Octave album, and that album cover was inspired by the music video for John Lennon's Imagine. If you want to know Julian's true feelings for his father, listen to Too Late For Goodbyes, then listen to the Octave album. This is how talented artists communicate their feelings, and we'd know a lot more about it if it wasn't for the kind of people who kept Julian and his father apart.

The meaning is: goodbye isn't possible, the connection is still there,,, there is no leaving,,,, still connected like it or not.
