Three Days Grace: Never Too Late Meaning
Song Released: 2007
Never Too Late Lyrics
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...

I love this song I love three days grace this is my favorite song ever! I really love the message of this song and how it's dark and kind of sad but really powerful and beautiful all at once.

this song is about a little girl with a perficet life at first. then when her parents leave her life changes because the guy in the red sweater malests her. then when her parents get back there eyes are taped shut because they are blind to the pain the little girl is in. then they show the girl getting draged by nerses into a mental hospital because she keeps haveing flash backs of the malestation and the pain is to much so she trys to kill herself.there are black hand prints everywhere and the guy with the red sweater has black paint on his hands whitch symbolises that he has touched her everywhere. then the guy with the black wings come in and starts fighting the guy in the red sweater. then the guy with the block wings feathers are falling everywhere. then aat the end of the song the restraints on her arms and legs go away and she gets up and start walking with a smile on her face.
i can relate to this because my dad actualy did malest me when i was younger. the lyrics "the world we knew, wont come back. the time we've lost, wont come back. the life we once had, wont be ours again" because the person that molested use took away the world, time and life we had and they never will be the same again. -
this song is actually about when adam gontier was in rehab because he was addicted to drugs and he wrote this song to help him have hope.

I think that the video is saying she loses her parents because they dance ina circle-life-bu5t then they let go of her hands-maybe saying they died and the sweater man comforts her and fools her into trusting him, but it turns out he isn't good as is shown when you see black handprints all over the wall and the girl and see he made them from the black ink on his hand, this is saying he molested her perhaps because he's touched everywhere. The winged man is not a demon as some have said but a guardian angel who fights the sweater man and defeats him, meanwhile the girl has later on in life been put in an asylum because she can't deal with the fact that the sweater man molested her. The restraints turn into the mans hands because he is holding her down and preventing her from living her life happily, when the angel defeats the sweater man feathers fall on the girl and woman both because they are purifying her and freeing her from the sweater man. She walks away from the asylum bed smiling vbecause she is free from her memories and able to live life properley again

I think that the little girl has a good life until a guys in red sweater raped her and then a angel came from the sky came help her because she was abuse . And the older girl was him later but she was in hospital because cops was thinking she were hit by a mental illness when she said that to officer . But that just stay what i think
Enjoy the music -
okay so theres two things going on here..the molestation subject and the verry dark place trying to find a way out..i think it means both and all you people arent seeing the side reflected O_o

I think this video is an example of a girl who grew up being sexually abused, probably by someone she knew. And because of it, it caused so much pain, she wanted to take her life. The guy with the wings helps her. And she becomes free of being trapped in feeling like she was not able to deal with problems that she had. I was sexually abused. And I think it paints a clear picture of what my life was like for a while after wards. Just like the woman going to the hospital. I am better. My memories are better.

Well i Belive the song is giving the message that sometimes life isnt what we expected, but throught that pain of lose its never too late. In the video we see a child happy with her parents and im guessing they let a friend or family member into their home trusting him with their daughter. They had blinde trust in him( man in the sweater), but he molested the little girl and we see that by the black prints he leaves all over the little girl. Either her parents didn't want to see what the man was doing to her or they honestly were blinded. Cause the song say " No one will ever see this side reflected" and her parents had tape on their eyes. So as An adult shes still brought down by what this man did to her so she tries to end her life and ends up in an assalym. At the end shes finally set free by her Gardian Angel. I think her Angel was black cause the place she was in was dark. Its usally a dark place when you want to take your life away. Even though we go through dark places theres always hope cause its not to late its never too late.

This song is about a girl adam gontier has been friends with for a long time. She is suicidal. He has been trying to persuade her that life will get better and she can turn it around
-
I agree with most of these, except for one thing: the doctors the girl is dancing with at the beginning are most likely not her parents, but doctors from the asylum. It could symbolize that these doctors are trying to help her but do not know what caused her pain, therefore they cannot truly help her.
-
i agree with the top full length interpretation, but i think the gaurdian angel might also have something to do with death seeing as the song was written in memory of adam's daughter.

i bealive that this video shows a little girl that was raped at a young age and never got over it. so as a older lady it drove her crazy leading her to the loony bin. there she remembers about that time when the man rape her. the man with wings is not her angel i bealive but her will and mind strength to get over what has happend so long ago. and there she finaly gets over it and walks away. but idk if she died or not because she wasent walking stright, she was walking vertically if any one has noticed.

I think a lot of the posts here are correct.... but I think the man in the sweater is her father because he has access to her bedroom and it's like he comes looking for her (like when she hides under the bed)... Showing that she can't hide from him and can't escape him because he lives with her.. He is her father.
The words "it's never too late" is a friend encouraging the child/teen/woman who is depressed and thinks there is no hope of having a happy life. He says that it's never too late to start living a happy life, having a happy future.
He says that the time she lost, as in that time when she was an innocent child, she should have been able to live happy and be a child and be carefree and innocent, but her molester took that time away because instead of happy childhood memories, she has nightmarish memories. The singer says that that time is gone, it's lost, they can't go back and change it now, but it's never too late to start a new life of happiness. So there is extreme loss and horror (as shown by her in the mental institution, showing how what happened to her affects her greatly as an adult), but he is trying to encourage her to not commit suicide and is trying to help her have hope that she can have some control over her life now that she is away from her abuser.But she is so tormented by the past and memories that even if her friend says "it will be alright" and he will be there for her always and she can totally trust him, she can't help but wanting to end her life because nothing can make it better.. nothing can take away what happened and the torture in her mind. She still feels, as an adult, that she has no control, as depicted by the hands of her father holding her down, like the bed restraints. She can't escape her torture.
The seemingly happy little family in the video when they are playing together is not the reality. Even her father, if he is the molester thinks things are great. The mother is oblivious or refuses to see what is going on. The father's sick mind can't see his badness, he thinks everything is great too. He can do what he wants to to the little girl because she's "his".
"This world will never be what I expected"... meaning that as a child, you are innocent, you are supposed to have a nice happy family with good parents you can trust, but that's far from the reality in her situation.
The one with the wings looks like it's someone who saves her. She imagines (and smiles, as an adult) thinking of someone saving her from her father when she was a child.
At the end of the video, she didn't commit suicide, she broke free from the torturous memories. Like as if her molester no longer could control her life anymore, not even with the memories of what happened. She is free and it's not too late for her to start a life of her own, not one that is still controlled by her molester. Then it shows her as a child going in to bed all peaceful,as her childhood would have been had it not been for her molester doing awful things to her.
Wow what a song. It shows a little bit of what people go through who were abused as children. I wish child abusers would go through their own torture, and be tortured a million times worse than what they caused to the children. -
This song is about the lead singers friend Adam, who as a child was raped by the sweater man. As the girl gets older she cannot escape the depression that is overcoming her. In the middle it shows the parents dancing in a circle with tape over their eyes to show they don't know what is happening to the child. Later in the video it shows the girl as an older woman trapped tied to a bed, and then the ties are replaced with the man in the sweaters hand to show that she cannot escape him and what happened to her as a child. In the end it shows her angel fighting of the sweater man to try and protect her, but she winds up committing suicide.

this song... its so touching. he sings how you can't give up hope, that no matter what happens, you can always turn back and start again. you shouldn't just give up on life. you need to realize that its "not to late, its never too late". no matter what kinda crap you go through, you cant give up. u need to keep going. move on. if someone tries to put you down, don't listen to them. there speaking crap. you need to realize that its not too late.
