Brat
Rainbow Butt Monkeys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So go as far as you want this to go.
I want you to know, that I don't care.
I'm only laughing at what I'm afraid of,
I've never been seen, like this before.
Am I ashamed?
I wonder why, am I afraid to die?
I kill myself, or force myself to fly.
I can't hear, anything at all.
Can't you give me, just what I want?
This makes it harder to live with.
Seems like a burden to me now.
I'm only pushing away what I wanted.
The more that I need it, the more I do without.
And the urge will pass.
I wonder why, am I afraid to die?
I kill myself, or force myself to fly.
I can't hear, anything at all.
Can't you give me, just what I want?
I'm a brat now, now give it.
I'm a brat, now give it.
I'm a brat, now give it.
I'm a brat now.
I'm a brat now, now give it.
I'm a brat now, now give it.
I'm a brat now, now give it.
I'm a brat now.
So go as far as you want this to go.
I want you to know, that I don't care.
I'm only laughing at what I'm afraid of,
I've never been seen, like this before.
Am I ashamed?
I wonder why, am I afraid to die?
I kill myself, or force myself to fly.
I can't hear, anything at all.
Can't you give me, just what I want?
I'm a brat now, now give it.
I'm a brat, now give it.
I'm a brat, now give it.
I'm a brat now.
I'm a brat now, now give it.
I'm a brat now, now give it.




I'm a brat now, now give it.
I'm a brat now.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rainbow Butt Monkeys' song Brat describe a struggle with identity and a desire for control. The singer acknowledges their fear of the unknown and their own mortality, but tries to cope by pushing away what they want and laughing at their own fears. The line "I've never been seen, like this before" suggests that the singer may be going through a period of change or growth, and is perhaps uncomfortable with the idea of being vulnerable or exposed.


The repeated line "I'm a brat now, now give it" could be interpreted as a plea for attention or validation, but also as a way of reclaiming power in a situation where the singer feels powerless. The desire for control is further emphasized by the line "Can't you give me, just what I want?", which suggests that the singer may feel entitled to have their needs met on their own terms.
