"Too Far" is a song by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue, taken from her sixth studio album Impossible Princess (1997). It was written and produced by Minogue, with additional production credits to Brothers In Rhythm. The song is a drum and bass song where Minogue describes her anger and frustration through its lyrics. It contains elements of club music and breakbeat music, and employs spoken word techniques. Critical reception towards "Too Far" has been universally acclaimed; some critics favoured its commercial appeal, while some felt it was one of Minogue's best dance tracks. Critics have highlighted it as an album and career stand out. "Too Far" failed to chart on any record charts, and no music video was directed. Minogue has performed the track on two of her concert tours; Intimate and Live Tour and Showgirl: The Homecoming Tour, and has been included on her greatest hits albums including Artist Collection (2004) and Confide in Me: The Irresistible Kylie (2007).

Caught up in this house
Trapped my very own self 
In the snare of my mind
No more space than a slither
What I'd give for a deep breath inside
Where the chaos has my captive
Where there's no exist sign
Where I fuel the stupid fire 
With these feeling of mine

Lured into this den, it's bitter 
And I want sweetness again
A taste that I agree with
Get me past these perils and to my Eden
Where the silence is a comfort
Where there is no one else
Where I'll be up from under 
Can uncurl my self
Too many, too much, too hard
Help me
This time I went too far
Too many, too much, too hard
Help me
This time I went too far

Can I smash all of this open
Can I pass the hurt with a little pain
I want to see all of it crumble 
And start afresh all over again
My eyes are wide open
But I can hardly see
Will laughter find a way 
Around these silent tears

Too many, too much, too hard
Help me
This time I went too far
Too many, too much, too hard
Help me
This time I went too far
