Further solidifying their legacy are fan-favourite anthems such as “Never Too Late,” a powerful ode to perseverance, and “The Good Life,” which offers a more reflective, yet still potent, outlook. Three Days Grace have mastered the art of crafting songs that are both accessible and profound, addressing themes of struggle, resilience, addiction, and hope with an unflinching honesty.
