AS FAR AS IT GETS Lyrics

[Intro]
No, no

[Verse]
I can't feel a single thing
I've become so numb from the things I've seen
And I can't tell what is real
I'm the only thing time couldn't ever heal
I just can't seem to get ahead
My Insecurities won't ever let me leave my bed
And I can't talk to none my friends
I'm sorry, but I can't let no one in

[Chorus]
I wanted more than I ever could get
It's the same as before, I'll go through it again
All I wanted was you, but I can't have you yet
You're as far as it gets, it don't makе any sense

[Verse]
I can't feel a single thing
I'vе become so numb from the things I've seen
And I can't tell what is real
I'm the only thing time couldn't ever heal
I just can't seem to get ahead
My insecurities won't ever let me leave my bed
And I can't talk to none my friends
I'm sorry, but I can't let no one in
[Chorus]
I wanted more than I ever could get
It's the same as before, I'll go through it again
All I wanted was you, but I can't have you yet
You're as far as it gets, it don't make any sense

[Outro]
(Make any sense, it don't make any sense)
(Make any sense, it don't make any sense)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

In “AS FAR AS IT GETS,” LIL DUSTY G talks about the numbness he feels towards life, as well as being disconnected from reality and the impacts his mental illness and insecurity have on his life.

Dustin shared the song’s only snippet way back in May of 2018, almost four years before seeing its release with Dustin’s debut album UNDERGROWTH.
Back then, the song used an entirely different instrumental and was a lot faster paced than it is now, likely seeing a whole rework with the help of Marshmello and SINIMA.

The version Dusty showed in the snippet sampled LP’s “Muddy Waters,” with the lyrics from the first verse layered in the background:

Is it only when you feel a part is empty
That it’s gnawing at the corners of your mind
