Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please don't tell me I'm too far gone
I can't go on if I ain't living in your arms
Please don't tell me I'm too far gone
I can't go on if I ain't living in your arms
Please don't tell me I'm too far gone

Set me free, oh, oh
Set me free, yeah
Set me free, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bradley Cooper's "Too Far Gone" express a sense of desperation and longing for love. The singer pleads with his partner not to tell him that he is too far gone, because he cannot go on if he is not living in their arms. This could be interpreted as a fear of abandonment or a fear of losing the love that the singer so desperately craves.


The repetition of the plea not to be told he's too far gone, and the insistence that he can't live without their partner, adds to the emotional intensity of the song. It is clear that the singer is deeply invested in the relationship and the thought of losing it is unbearable. The repeated refrain of "set me free" could be seen as a plea to be released from the pain of not having their partner's love, or a declaration that the singer will never truly be free until they are in the arms of the one they love.


Overall, "Too Far Gone" is a poignant exploration of the emotions that come with deep personal connections and the fear of losing them. The lyrics express the universal human experience of wanting to be loved and needing that love to feel complete.
