Savatage - A Little Too Far Lyrics






Do you remember
Look at me
And all the things we'd said we'd be
We'd beat the house
We'd push the odds
We'd take it all we had the cards

With years to burn
And years to trash
Living lies based on flash
But somehow reaching for the stars
I think we went a bit too far

Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far

When everything you touch turns gold
Can weigh you down
Can make you old
When metal doesn't ring the same
Reaction from inside your brain
And all those years we offered up
To gods who couldn't get enough
And though we still stay up all night
The mornings aren't quite as bright

Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far

And all those things we thought we'd learned
As we watched our bridges burn
While standing in the afterglow
I guess we gave them quite a show

And who's to say what it's about
When John Wayne caught the last train out
And Spock and Kirk have had enough
And no one's left to beam me up
Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far

    "And who's to say what it's about
    When John Wayne took the last train out
    And Spock and Kirk have had enough
    and no one's left to beam me up"

    For some reasons this line always touched me the most.

  2. Z.... ....

    I love this song because it's very heartbreaking

  3. A.... G....

    This album... Will never forget it. This is for being out of your mind at 3 am on a road trip. Deepcut album. Savatage is in top 10, easy.

  4. M.... S....

    From 2004 i listening to savatage its best

  5. A.... S....

  6. �.... ....

    你还记得吗?我们还要很多事情要一起做,但是现在已经回不去了。

  7. S.... ....

    savatage is just pure magic

  8. B.... ....

    Any idea what the song is about ? Any special backstory, or just about how life goes on over time ?

  9. A.... G....

    Reminds me of a dreary 90s Sunday morning. But in a good way, a song I love just for me, not everyone

  10. J.... L....

    Justin bieber eat shit.

  11. R.... D....

    Thank you savatage. Can't remember how many times I was sad and a savatage tune made me feel not so alone. Just a wonderful, talented all around band. The most underrated band in musical history if you ask me.

  12. D.... B....

    A band I entirely ignored in my youth, but 20 years later, a band constant on my playlist.

  13. m.... m....

    it's okay

  14. Z.... ....

    This is one of the saddest songs i know, and believe me I do possess an extensive knowledge re: sad songs

  15. P.... P....

    So Beautiful...

  16. V.... ....

    I will be forever grateful I found this band. I can't believe they are not more famous..

  17. v.... ....

    elton john?

    v.... ....

    vomitedshit happy Halloween

  18. B.... H....

    "while standing in the afterglow
    I guess we gave them
    Quite a show..."

    RIP Paul O'Neill

  19. t.... w....

    no one's left to beam me up .......

  20. Z.... T....

    Savatage is the fucking king of Metal Ballads.

  21. j.... c....

    Savatage too me was the most underrated ever.thier mix of cringe and grundge guitar skills with a classy easy listening piano in perfect harmony. I compare savatage a mix of queensyche meets a ballerina dance recital with words of a prophet.

  22. K.... H....

    I hate this band, they took a lot of my tears.

    K.... H....

    I know what you mean man \m/

    K.... H....

    Same 😞

  23. C.... I....

    bellissima, senza tempo!

  24. J.... W....

    It's depressing really. Justin Bieber has won over 40 music awards. Savatage has not won any. Again, depressing.

    J.... W....

    Well rest assured people like you and I recognize the far exceeding talent on display. \M/

    J.... W....

    When you're good and you know it, you don't need any rewards.

    J.... W....

    The Tampa Bay music award for Streets :)

  25. H.... d....

    I bought the cd around 1994 but it is long lost unfortunately so it brings back good memories, This song especially reminds me to the best of Pink Floyd

  26. P.... O....

    Great comment, my Sava friend.. But it's OLIVA.
    Christopher Michael OLIVA (1963-1993)

  27. T.... M....

    Check out my unplugged version of this song...

  28. S.... ....

    I feel exactly the same...Hail Savatage my friend...!!

  29. J.... ....

    no matter how many times I hear their songs and think this is the ONE, the next one then beats it and becomes the ONE and now this is the ONE. They are a gift and I am so blessed to have found them. As are we all.

  30. m.... ....

    A group capable of busting out Metal, Rock or simply beautiful ballads..This is why I can't get enough of these guys!

  31. c.... ....

    this song was an inspiration to me when i was a little child. over the years i lost sight of this great album, now i "rediscovered" it - still breathtaking, awesome and legendary! i really regret, that i was born too late, to experience theese artists during their best times!

  32. p.... ....

    Clearly one of the best concept albums ever made. By one the great talents in the industry.

  33. A.... J....

    When everything you touch turns gold
    Can weigh you down
    Can make you old
    When metal doesn't ring the same
    Reaction from inside your brain
    And all the years we offered up
    To gods who couldn't get enough
    Though we still stay up all night
    The mornings aren't quite as bright

  34. t.... ....

    beautiful and very personal song. I saw a Savatage video bootleg - at the end Jon was almost crying.. sadly, I don't remember which show was that.

  35. f.... ....

    This is my 20 something anthem. I remember playing this so loud the neighbors would call the cops LOL. Rock on bitches!!!!

  36. J.... L....

    MY FUCKING FAVORITE SONG>>>>EVER!!

  37. L.... K....

    beautiful...

  38. V.... R....

    This METAL BAND inspired me a lot because the lyrics of every song has a lot of positive messages in it and some negative too but they have a unique style this is my favorite Metal BAND their guitarist died. R.I.P. CRISS OLIVIA you will be missed one of the greatest guitarist of the 80's...
