Way Too Far
Phony Ppl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like someone is there
′Cause this reflection can't be me
But I chauffeured myself here, cause
My walk and my talk been different
My style and my thoughts been different
I got you but it's me I′m missin′
I think I went way too far tryna please you
I know I went way too hard tryna please you
And sanctions come with the harsh truth
And you gon' shoot your shot ′cause I armed you
But I'll be honest always towards you
I think I went went too far
When the option′s up to me
I do what I think you wanna see
Ten times out of ten
I make the same decision again
The aroma of you, girl
Makes my obligation start to fade
Just to keep you close
I watch myself drift further just the same 'cause
My walk and my talk been different
My style and my thoughts been different
I got you but it's me I′m missin′
You'll agree, you′ll get it
I think I went way too far tryna please you
I know I went way too hard tryna please you
And sanctions come with the harsh truth
And you gon' shoot your shot ′cause I armed you
But I'll be honest always towards you
I think I went went too far
My reflection yells at me
Reprimanding turbulent demands
Based off pure instinct
That I may just not know who I am
Every time I′m by myself
I wonder why I can't help but misbehave
Just to keep you close
I watch myself drift further just the same 'cause
You′ll agree, you′ll get it
I think I went way too far tryna please you
The song "Way Too Far" by Phony Ppl explores the theme of losing oneself while trying to please someone else. The song opens with the singer waking up from their sleep, feeling like someone else is looking back at them when they see their reflection. The lines "My walk and my talk been different, my style and my thoughts been different" suggest that the singer has changed themselves to fit someone else's expectations, rather than being true to themselves.
The chorus repeats the lines "I think I went way too far tryna please you, I know I went way too hard tryna please you" several times, emphasizing the singer's regret for sacrificing their own identity for someone else's approval. The bridge delves deeper into the singer's struggle with self-identity, as they wonder if their "turbulent demands" come from their own instincts or from someone else's expectations. The line "Just to keep you close, I watch myself drift further just the same" suggests that the singer has become increasingly distant from their true self while trying to hold onto this other person.
Overall, "Way Too Far" is a poignant exploration of the cost of losing oneself while trying to please someone else, and the struggle of regaining one's identity.

Wakin′ out my sleep
I woke up abruptly
It's like someone is there
I feel like there is someone else in the room with me
′Cause this reflection can't be me
I don't recognize myself in the mirror
But I chauffeured myself here, cause
I got myself to where I am now
My walk and my talk been different
I've been acting and speaking differently than I normally would
My style and my thoughts been different
I've been dressing and thinking differently than I normally would
I got you but it's me I′m missin′
I have you, but I feel like I'm missing a part of myself
You'll agree, you′ll get it
You'll understand what I mean
I think I went way too far tryna please you
I believe that I tried too hard to make you happy
I know I went way too hard tryna please you
I'm aware that I put too much effort into trying to please you
And sanctions come with the harsh truth
There are consequences that come with facing the reality of the situation
And you gon' shoot your shot ′cause I armed you
You're going to take advantage of the opportunity I gave you to express yourself
But I'll be honest always towards you
I will always be truthful with you
When the option′s up to me
When I have a choice to make
I do what I think you wanna see
I do what I believe will make you happy
Ten times out of ten
Every single time
I make the same decision again
I consistently make the same choice
The aroma of you, girl
The scent of your essence
Makes my obligation start to fade
Causes my duty to become less important
My reflection yells at me
I feel like my reflection is criticizing me
Reprimanding turbulent demands
Telling me that I'm asking too much of myself
Based off pure instinct
Purely based on what comes naturally to me
That I may just not know who I am
Suggesting that I might not even know my true self
Every time I′m by myself
Whenever I'm alone
I wonder why I can't help but misbehave
I question why I always seem to act out
You′ll agree, you′ll get it
You will understand my perspective
I think I went way too far tryna please you
I believe that I went too far in trying to make you happy

Always_Serpico if this message DOSE NOT resonate with you , so be IT.
Peace and Blessings.
This message is for those who are reminded of THEIR TRUE POWER OF ‘self awareness’ + intuition (6th INTERNAL sense) which ‘CAN BE UTILIZED’ throughout this journey of them finding the truth, to their existence in whatever form of POSITIVITY AND GROWTH they wish. Demigods and demigoddesses are remembering.
Those who know good forces exists just as well as bad forces do, are choosing POSITIVITY and taking back their IDENTITIES. We have real obligations to fulfill and aren’t taking the ‘bad w the good’ but are learning to discern the ‘bad’ from the ‘good’.
Taking ‘good’ with ‘good’
I’m thankful for my EGO and I pray others are thankful for theirs. Your name sounds kind of close to ‘serpent’ 🤔hmm I’ve noticed.
