Since the early 90's Ron has released over 200 songs through solo CDs and DVDs, and digital releases. He's had numerous appearances on compilation CDs and as a guest performer for other artists, appeared on magazine covers, and as a soloist toured internationally headlining venues and guitar festivals. In 2008 Ron released the "Abnormal" album, described as "Sex Pistols meets Queen, with innovative guitar and a quirky Zappa-esque twist..." In 2011 he released a song a month that included transcriptions, alternate mixes and recording stems, as an innovative way to release singles.
As a child, Ron would play Bach pieces with his feet. Today, his guitar-work can be heard on Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy album, the theme of VH1's "That Metal Show", the Latin acoustic guitar on Jessica Simpson's "Irresistible" dance mix, and CNN-Turkey station IDs to name a few. Live, he's just as diverse, whether touring the world with GNR or at local fundraisers (notably performing with Nancy Sinatra, Cyndi Lauper, composer Fahir Atakoglu, and jazz legend Allen Toussaint.)
A record producer and songwriter for artists and publishing companies often working out of his own studio in Princeton NJ, Ron has written theme songs and background music for shows that include So You Think You Can Dance, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brokaw, Anthony Bourdan, MTV, VH1, MuchMusic, FuseTV, CW, SpikeTV, Oxygen, E!, A&E, ESPN, UFC, WWE, NFL, MLB, NBC, PBS, and SEGA, SSI and Atari videogames.
Ron is a Professor at SUNY Purchase College teaching music production, does guitar clinics around the world, and writes articles for music magazines. He is a volunteer for many charities such as Musicians On Call visiting sick children in hospitals and the MS Research Foundation, a non-profit organization that donates funds directly to Multiple Sclerosis research.
Life Inside Your Ass
Bumblefoot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm hopin', baby, you can read between the lines
I got this vibe that I hope ain't true
But the things ya say don't line up with the things you do
I'm always waitin' for your shit to pass
And it's gettin' like I'm livin' life inside your ass
Ya think you're keepin' me in the dark
Ya want me in a place where I can't read your face
But I'm gettin' what ya got deep inside you
You may act like everything's alright
But down here at the bottom it's gettin' kinda tight
You don't listen to a word I say
I'm just a piece of something you keep locked away
Ya pull me out when you need a man
But I want more than to kill your bugs and lift your bags
Yeah, you keep makin', I keep takin' out your trash
And it's gettin' really crowded up inside your ass
I wanna tell ya what's on my mind
But I'm hopin', baby, you can read between the lines
I got this vibe that I hope ain't true
But the things ya say don't line up with the things you do
I'm always waitin' for your shit to pass
And it's gettin' like I'm livin' life inside your ass
I got your asshole around my neck
Still I'd rather suffocate than smell what's on your breath
You're so retentive and I'm in the queue
Just waitin' for your heart to come passin' through
But the more I stir it up the more it stinks up fast
And it's gettin' hard to breathe up here inside your ass
I wanna tell ya what's on my mind
But I'm hopin', baby, you can read between the lines
I got this vibe that I hope ain't true
But the things ya say don't line up with the things you do
I'm always waitin' for your shit to pass
And it's gettin' like I'm livin' life inside your ass
I don't know how long I'm gonna last
I need somethin' to hold, not a bunch of gas
I'm down here waitin' and it's so frustratin'
I guess this is what it's like to live inside your ass
Yeah, you know where to find me - up inside your ass
I don't know how long I'm gonna last
The lyrics to Bumblefoot's song "Life Inside Your Ass" describe a toxic relationship where the singer feels trapped inside their partner's dishonesty and manipulation. Despite wanting to express their true feelings, the singer feels like their words will fall on deaf ears and chooses to speak in code, hoping their partner can read between the lines. The singer is tired of being used for their partner's convenience, only to be cast aside when they are no longer needed. The metaphor of living inside their partner's ass represents the suffocating and claustrophobic feeling of being trapped in this unhealthy relationship.
The lyrics are honest and raw, and describe a relatable experience of being stuck in a one-sided relationship where one person is not fully committed. The song's tone is grungy and heavy, serving as a metaphor for the weight and burden of the singer's emotional experience.

I wanna tell ya what's on my mind
I want to share my true feelings with you
But I'm hopin', baby, you can read between the lines
I hope you can understand my hidden messages
I got this vibe that I hope ain't true
I have a feeling that something is wrong
But the things ya say don't line up with the things you do
Your words and actions don't match
I'm always waitin' for your shit to pass
I'm constantly waiting for you to resolve your issues
And it's gettin' like I'm livin' life inside your ass
I feel trapped and suffocated within our relationship
Ya think you're keepin' me in the dark
You believe that you're hiding things from me
But I'm seein' more, more, more than I want to
I'm starting to uncover things I don't want to know
Ya want me in a place where I can't read your face
You want me to be subservient and unaware of your true intentions
But I'm gettin' what ya got deep inside you
I'm starting to understand your hidden emotions
You may act like everything's alright
You pretend that everything is fine
But down here at the bottom it's gettin' kinda tight
In reality, things are becoming uncomfortable and tense
You don't listen to a word I say
You ignore my opinions and thoughts
I'm just a piece of something you keep locked away
You treat me as a possession rather than an equal partner
Ya pull me out when you need a man
You only involve me when it benefits you
But I want more than to kill your bugs and lift your bags
I desire a deeper connection and mutual support in our relationship
Yeah, you keep makin', I keep takin' out your trash
You continue to create problems and I have to deal with them
And it's gettin' really crowded up inside your ass
The tension and issues in our relationship are becoming overwhelming
I got your asshole around my neck
I feel burdened and trapped by our relationship
Still I'd rather suffocate than smell what's on your breath
I'd rather endure the pain of our relationship than confront its unpleasant realities
You're so retentive and I'm in the queue
You're controlling and I feel powerless
Just waitin' for your heart to come passin' through
I'm waiting for you to show genuine emotions and vulnerability
But the more I stir it up the more it stinks up fast
The more I try to address our issues, the worse they become
And it's gettin' hard to breathe up here inside your ass
The stress and tension in our relationship are taking a toll on me
I need somethin' to hold, not a bunch of gas
I want a meaningful and fulfilling relationship, not just one based on superficialities
I'm down here waitin' and it's so frustratin'
I'm patiently waiting for you to change, but it's becoming increasingly difficult
I guess this is what it's like to live inside your ass
I feel trapped and suffocated within our relationship
Yeah, you know where to find me - up inside your ass
I'm still here, dealing with the struggles of our relationship
I don't know how long I'm gonna last
I'm unsure if I can continue to endure the difficulties of our relationship
