The Offspring: Gonna Go Far Kid Meaning
Gonna Go Far Kid Lyrics

There are 3 possibilities, listed in order from most to least likely:
1.) It's about Lord of the Flies directly.
2.) It's about a situation similar to that of the one existing in Lord of the Flies. The "kid" is the manipulator, destroying everyone in his way.
3.) The singer and the unnamed mentioned "he" are the manipulator, and the "kid" gets them out of the way and goes on anyway, with plenty of LOTF references, of course.
References to lord of the flies include: "hit him right between the eyes" (referring to Piggy), "dance fucker dance" (the 'victory' dance of the manipulative guy), and "with a good disguise" (which refers to the manipulative guy's painted face). -

Also hit him right between the eyes is when Piggy gets hit between the eyes with a boulder and dies. Its also about just manipulating. Also Show me how to lie is like Jack. And With 1000 lies and a good discise is Jack with his painted face and like lies,
