The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Too Late" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

In "Too Late," The Weeknd conveys profound regret and despair over a broken relationship. The lyrical protagonist acknowledges his mistakes - he cheated and hurt his lover ("I let you down, I led you on", "I made mistakes, I hurt you, baby").

He understands that he has destroyed trust and that saving the relationship is no longer possible ("It's too late to save our souls, baby"). The phrase "we're on our own" emphasizes the feeling of loneliness and hopelessness.

Despite the awareness of his guilt and the desire to fix everything, the hero realizes that the time is lost. He is tormented by his conscience, haunted by dark thoughts ("Bad thoughts in my head"). The image of "light in the dark" symbolizes how much he needed his lover.

The lyrics contain a motif of distrust of the surrounding world ("I can't trust my hometown anymore"). The hero feels lost in a world that seems fake and hypocritical to him ("hell disguised as heaven with camera flashes").

At the end of the song, the hero tries to convince himself to forget his love, but his desire to be with her is too strong. He craves intimacy but realizes that it's impossible ("I'm tryna, tryna, but I want your body"). The song ends on a minor note, leaving the listener with a feeling of hopelessness and unresolved conflict.
