Their first two releases, Eat Meat Cuz It's Fun (now out of print) and Shameless Self Promotion were self-released and only feature original members Josh Chambers and Kevin Highfield. After playing to an audience of over a million viewers on the now-cancelled USA Network's old show Farmclub.com, the band was signed to Orange Peel Records. Which re-released their debut and released their 2001 album Forbidden Meat. In 2002, the band changed from a 3-piece act to a 4-piece by adding a rhythm guitarist. Currently The Sloppy Meataters are traveling the country as an acoustic trio and have future plans to record an acoustic ep.

So Long
Sloppy Meateaters Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not strong enough to hold this all together

Said goodbye a thousand times just to hear you say you're on your way
Face it you're stuck with me and all thirty personalities

I know that it feels unfair, we'll be just fine
Don't give in to all your fears, your heart won't lie

So long it's been forever, my heart
Belongs to you and never think that
I'm not strong enough to hold this all together

So long it's been forever, my heart
Belongs to you and never think that
I'm not strong enough to hold this all together

So long it's, so long it's, so long it's
So long it's been forever

So long it's, so long it's, so long it's
So long it's been forever

Overall Meaning

The Sloppy Meateaters' song "So Long" seems to be about two people who have finally come together after a long time of missed opportunities. The first two lines suggest that they have finally managed to hang out together, and the following lines hint at a past where they had wanted to run away together but couldn't until now. The lyrics express the singer's belief that they will be okay and their encouragement for their partner to trust their own heart.

The chorus repeats "So long it's been forever, my heart belongs to you," emphasizing the significance of this reunion and how long they have waited for it. The singer also reassures their partner that they are not going to abandon them and are strong enough to hold everything together, including their partner's different personalities.

Overall, the song seems to be about the power of love to overcome obstacles and the importance of listening to your heart. The repetition of "so long it's been forever" suggests that this love has been a long time in the making and is finally coming to fruition.

I can still play this song from memory from 20+ years ago. The intro is what I use to warm my fingers up and check the tuning as soon as I pick up the guitar.
