Gone Too Far
Allen-Lande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I washed my hands today
Won't follow you this time I feel
I beg you to stay away
The bloodstains won't come out
The color it won't leave my soul
I must be free
[Chorus:]
I won't hear no more
I won't see anymore
I won't be a part of anything your evil mind creates
I won't take no more
I won't speak no more
You can keep your lies onto yourself,
I know just what you are
This time you've gone too far
It's getting hard to breathe
I'm choking on the memories
You're not the way I want to be
I'm picking up the pieces of my life
So say no more
Just say goodbye
[Chorus]
This time you've gone too far!
You've gone too far..!
Far away, far away... Oh..
[Solo]
[Chorus x2]
The lyrics in Allen-Lande's song "Gone Too Far" express a sense of liberation and standing up against someone who has caused harm. The singer in the song has come to a realization and decides to break away from the person they have been following. The opening line, "I washed my hands today," could symbolize washing away the negative influence of the person the singer is addressing. They have decided not to follow them anymore and beg the person to stay away. The following lines, "The bloodstains won't come out, the color it won't leave my soul," suggest a traumatic experience or a sense of guilt that is deep-rooted and still remains.
In the chorus, the singer declares that they won't listen or participate in anything the "evil mind creates." They won't tolerate the lies and manipulation that have been imposed on them. The lines "It's getting hard to breathe, I'm choking on the memories" indicate that the singer is struggling to move on from this traumatic experience, but they are determined to do so. In the end, they announce that the person they are addressing has gone too far and it's time to say goodbye.
