Sep 16th 2012!⃝I was reading "The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus" by Marlowe, and there is an excerpt that says:
FAUSTUS: Ay, go, accursed spirit, to ugly hell.‘Tis thou hast damn’d distressed Faustus’ soul.
Is’t not too late?
Evil Angel: Too late.
Good Angel: Never too late, if Faustus can repent.
I think the song is for someone who gave his sould in exchange for something he or she thought will bring him/her happinest, but in at the end he/she finds ...
"This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it?"
that what she/he wished for is not giving him what he really expected, acceptance.
And yet he is not willing to give up everything that he/she has earned.
"I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late"
and ask for forgiveness.
in the book Dr. Faustus was not a good man nor a bad man, he gave his soul for knowledge.
What if this song is about this type of people, who give anything for their cause, loosing much more than they expected, breaking their moral compass and wishing their were dead from time to time, but hanging in their situation thinking that "is not too late (for regret)" and also arrogance.
