far
You Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think I've been too hard on myself
I know I'm just passing through
I still don't sleep and I don't trust myself
To be the strongest for you
It's all so strange and I don't recognize
Faces of ones I adored
I tried my best to keep moving forward
But there's wounds that can't be ignored

It's too far gone
You know it's true

Yeah, I still remember the times
We'd pry into the other's ego
And you'd redefine what I thought made me so evil
You're not to blame and it's a shame
I don't feel things how I should
And your distaste to words I say
Leaves us both misunderstood
(It kills me to say)

It's too far gone
You know it's true
Yeah, I've fallen way too short
My heart's been cold and weary
I'm all so sure but it's so temporary

Left scars in my skin
And your words, they transcend
And these holes run so deep
But I dive in endlessly
I leave my failures on display
I'll drain myself, I'll grow for you

We're too far gone
You know it's true
Yeah, I've fallen way too short
My heart's been cold and weary
I'm all so sure but it's so temporary

I've opened my arms
Embraced the pain I gave
I meant you no harm
I was so sick when you came
If you need to leave
Take every fragment from me
When I try to love
My failures seep through the seams (through the seams)

We're too far gone
You know it's true
Yeah, I've fallen way too short




My heart's been cold and weary
I'm all so sure but it's so temporary

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Way Too Gone" by Young Jeezy establish the central theme of the song, that he has been getting "way too high." The underlying implication is that this substance abuse is merely a coping mechanism, a way to numb the pain of unrequited love. Jeezy acknowledges the person that he has become fixated on, the one who has "caught his eye." He dreams and hopes that one day this person will reciprocate his feelings and "let love decide." The repetition of this line throughout the song justifies the supposed importance of this person in Jeezy's life. Every time he smokes, he hopes that this person will see him in a different light and hopefully realize the depth of his feelings for them. It's a misguided quest for love and affection, but Jeezy is willing to mask the pain of his quest with drugs.


The chorus highlights the idea that getting high is Jeezy's daily routine, a way of escaping the pain that is holding him down. He acknowledges the fact that he has been getting too high and needs to reconcile by focusing on love. He wants this person to notice him and hopes that one day they will let love decide. He places his hope in the power of love and the possibility that he can break free from his painful existence.
