Too Late

The song 'Too Late' by Bakuretsu Hunters delves into the themes of loss, regret, and the inevitability of moving forward despite the pain of leaving things behind. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey through a foreign land, where the protagonist is haunted by loneliness and the echoes of past memories. The opening lines, 'ishi tatami kane no ne hibiku kaze kawaite,' set a melancholic tone, suggesting a desolate landscape where the sound of a bell reverberates through the dry wind, symbolizing the passage of time and the fading of connections.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reflects on their solitary quest for dreams, wandering aimlessly and feeling lost. The line 'omoi de nante iranai subete wasure saru made oru ku no yo' expresses a desire to forget all memories until the pain subsides, indicating a struggle to let go of the past. The repeated phrase 'Sayonara nante kiken na sasoi monku dawa' highlights the danger and finality of saying goodbye, emphasizing that it is too late to turn back or undo what has been done.

The chorus, with its powerful declaration of 'IT'S TOO LATE! modorenai,' reinforces the theme of irreversible change. The imagery of a spiral staircase and distant clamor symbolizes the confusion and disorientation that come with navigating life's complexities. The protagonist's heart, burdened by the twilight of their emotions, seeks to cast a spell to banish illusions and faded dreams. The song concludes with a rejection of destiny and a defiant laughter at the concept of farewell, encapsulated in the lines 'unmei nante iranai mai chiru Tarotto Kaado yaburi sute' and 'Sayonara nante Jooku de warai tobashite yo.' This final act of tearing up the Tarot card and laughing off goodbyes signifies a bold acceptance of the present and a refusal to be bound by the past.
