No Picture Mike Average	#1 by Mike Dawgg at Oct 1, 2007 at 9:33 AM EST
	Three days grace was on tv the other day and they were talking about their songs and they explained that this song was about someone on drugs, telling someone else to get out of that sort of lifestyle before its too late, and he ends up like her.

No Picture ♥WeEzY Average	#2 by ♥WeEzY♥ at Oct 5, 2007 at 3:38 AM EST
	pretty clearly about drug addiction and various people trying to convince him to get out while he can oh, and to help make more sense out of the lyrics, they should actually read: "If you want to get out alive.....oh-oh, RUN for your life." ie. don't start in the first place, which makes a ton more sense than "hold on for your life"

No Picture eric was here Professional Badass	#3 by eric was here at Oct 6, 2007 at 1:45 AM EST
	Yeah, the lyrics are wrong. It's "Run for your life"

No Picture Jimmy Average	#4 by Jimmy Dresbach at Oct 6, 2007 at 8:06 AM EST
	Personally, I think this song is about people dying and giving him advice while they're on their deathbeds. They're fading away and all that jazz.

No Picture adrian Average	#5 by adrian zamora at Oct 9, 2007 at 3:05 AM EST
	I got this album for review Its one of the better songs on the new album The chorus is great, The verse's let the song down a bit i think but its stilll pretty good

No Picture Lucas Average	#6 by Lucas Lawrey at Oct 9, 2007 at 9:17 AM EST
	Great song!!!!

No Picture Flappy Average	#7 by Flappy Bob at Oct 12, 2007 at 9:48 PM EST
	My fav part is the begining, it has the feeling of tragic love in it. That's just me though. I can relate this to personal issues (not about drugs) so i guess i have a different meaning for it than everybody else.

No Picture Joan Average	#8 by Joan Rius at Oct 13, 2007 at 4:45 AM EST
	In reply to 3dg. If you actually listen to the rest of the album, you'll figure out that the whole album is about his druggie girlfriend who he loves, but can't stand all the things that come with it. First song of the Album. "It's All Over" states that "she" his girlfriend is getting high and it's bothering him. yadda yadda.. "Never Too Late" is saying that they've hit rock bottom and they'll find their way back up. But, "Pain" says he'd rather stay with her and try to help. Then.. in "On my Own" she tells him to go on his own. Then.. we get here. Where this "he" (unknown) and "she" his girlfriend are telling him to go run for his life, because staying here he would end up like her.

No Picture ben Rhythm Player	#9 by ben kurkul at Oct 17, 2007 at 8:53 AM EST
	I also think this song is about drugs and the dangers associated with the lifestyle. And the part, "This is my last time she said As she faded away It's hard to imagine But one day you'll end up like me Then she said" Is someone in that life already and knows theres a better soul in him, and she tells him that he must get out while he can. And the fading away is naturally, the drugs. Well. It's the truth. Good Message. Great song. Great lyrics.

No Picture ian Average	#10 by ian mckinly at Oct 18, 2007 at 3:25 AM EST
	Aahh.. This is one of my favorite songs by them... I can definately see how it is about drugs... I would love to hear Adam say what this song is about, though...

No Picture Niko Average	#11 by Niko Booth at Oct 18, 2007 at 8:38 AM EST
	The song sounds like a dream almost, with people talking to him that "fade away"...that's probably not it but it just reminds me of a dream or something, with the music and lyrics..

No Picture spence Average	#12 by spence o'brien at Oct 19, 2007 at 5:27 AM EST
	Great song but...kinda repeative....

No Picture jacob Average	#13 by jacob ap at Oct 19, 2007 at 8:58 AM EST
	To vileacronymn : I think that the unknown "HE" refers to a close friend or father or something, giving him advice.

No Picture nick Wanna Be	#14 by nick at Oct 20, 2007 at 12:35 AM EST
	I think it has something to do with drug abuse and someone's taking over their life by them doing drugs and changing their views on life and stuff... like those above the influence commercials..they only did it because someone asked or told them not because they wanted to well at least thats what it means to me i don't know if its right but whatever think what you want

No Picture Master Shaïtan Wanna Be	#15 by Master Shaïtan at Oct 21, 2007 at 4:04 AM EST
	Love this song. The beginning is so awesome.

No Picture dan Average	#16 by dan evans at Oct 21, 2007 at 2:33 PM EST
	in reply to vileacronymn...the whole album is not about his gf. "Never too late" is about his friend who came up to him and told him that he wanted to end his life. But I definetly agree with 3dgfanatic. It doesn't technically have to be about drugs tho, it could be about murder or something or the other. But there's many different ways to look at is so w/e
