Massa Tard

Blaumut's song "Massa Tard" delves into the bittersweet experience of a night that stretches into the early morning, filled with nostalgia and a sense of lost time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two individuals who find themselves out late, as the bar closes and they step into the slow-moving night. The opening lines, "S'ha fet tard / El bar ja tanca i sortim al carrer," set the scene for a reflective journey, where the night becomes a canvas for memories and forgotten moments. The phrase "Aquell temps ens va oblidar" suggests a feeling of being left behind by time, emphasizing the transient nature of their experience.

As the song progresses, the characters are depicted as having lived through moments of destiny and chance, with the hours erasing the absence of many years. The line "Les hores esborrant l'absència de tants anys" captures the essence of trying to fill a void left by time. The chorus, with its imagery of two people diving headfirst into a lost sea and swimming until morning, symbolizes their attempt to escape reality and immerse themselves in the present moment. However, the repeated refrain "És massa tard" (It's too late) underscores the inevitability of time catching up with them.

The latter part of the song shifts to a more introspective tone, as the night loses its brilliance and the light of the spirit fades. The lyrics, "Som contes d'uns avantpassats que van morir," reflect on the ephemeral nature of life and the stories of those who came before. The morning arrives, and the marks on the sheets have disappeared, signifying the fleeting nature of their encounter. The song concludes with a poignant realization that despite their efforts to hold onto the night, it is ultimately too late to change the course of time.
