I tried beating it while failing (almost) every note, and Meatos does goes really fast to the point you can't out run its grasp. The good thing is there's a minigame if you get caught. You can't quite spam it like normally, but if you beat the minigame before Meatos eats you, you can run a tiny bit further before being grabbed again, though it seems to get more difficult each time you get caught, resulting in moments where it was a close call. Btw the pitch of the music gets really low lol
