Went Too Far

Song Background/Inspiration

Sung from the perspective of the executive who made the call - the leader who stood on a stage, promised a machine could do it all, celebrated the savings, and then watched the complaints pour in and the trust drain away. Went Too Far is a confession, not a victory lap, with the applause still ringing in his ears as he realizes how wrong he was in front of everyone. It ends on the call he swore he would never make, asking the people he let go to come back - no press release, no speech, just a quiet apology down the line. It is the rare song that hands the microphone to the person who caused the damage and lets him reckon with it out loud.
