“Too Late To Say Goodbye” is the fourth track on Cage the Elephant’s 2015 album “Tell Me I’m Pretty".
According to the band’s webseries for the album’s creative process and creation, frontman Matt Shultz revealed that the song is about the romance between the historic criminal partners Bonnie and Clyde, from the perspective of the former. Shultz imagined her as a pyromaniac that was “in love with the wrong guy.”
Pyromania is an impulse control disorder in which individuals repeatedly fail to resist impulses to deliberately start fires. In the song, they uses fire as a metaphor for Bonnie’s impulsive love for Clyde’s dangerous nature.
