As Far As I Can Spit
Rainbow Butt Monkeys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How can I trust in anyone
When I can't trust myself?
I'm stealing from better lives
The lives up on the shelve

But I'm not
As lonely
As I thought
But I know now
That it takes much longer
To be free from them

What used to come so naturally
Seems to go away
You're killing me from inside out
To make me understand

And I can't
Believe this
And I pray that you'll find out
That I did understand
That you were
That you were

Fine!!
Fine!!
Fine!!
Fight fine!!

Fine!!
Fine!!
Fine!!
Fight fine!!

Let me go!!

I'm seeing things from darker lives
We've seem to make a deed
You're never thinking for yourself
You're passing by your stray

And I can't
Believe this
And I pray that you'll find out
That I did understand
That you were
That you were

Fine!!
Fine!!
Fine!!
Fight fine!!

Fine!!
Fine!!




Fine!!
Fight fine!!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rainbow Butt Monkeys’ song As Far As I Can Spit are an introspective reflection on the singer’s lack of trust in themselves and others, as well as their struggle for independence and self-discovery. The opening lines convey the singer’s hesitation to rely on others due to their own uncertainty, describing their tendency to “steal from better lives” rather than forge their own path. However, as the song progresses, the singer realizes that they are not as alone as they believed, and that breaking free from their current limitations will be a difficult and lengthy process.


The second half of the song seems to focus on an external conflict, with the singer accusing someone of killing them from the inside out in order to make them see things from a different perspective. The repeated refrain of “Fight Fine” implies a sense of determination to overcome this obstacle and maintain a strong sense of self amidst outside pressures. The final line, “Let me go,” could be seen as a plea for freedom from whatever is holding the singer back, including both external and internal factors.


Overall, As Far As I Can Spit is a powerful examination of trust, independence, and personal growth. The lyrics delve deeply into the singer’s struggles and emotions, painting a vivid picture of their journey towards self-discovery.
