Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It ain't served me yet
Yeah it ain't served me yet
Ay yeah ay yeah ay yeah ay yeah
I've been so lonely
I've been so obsessed
I've been so focused
It ain't served me yet
I've been stuck in the middle
Haven't found the one for me yet
When I'm with you
Think it hurts my mental
Without you
I'm hurting less
Liking you ain't enough right now
To fuck
I don't want these thin strings
Knotting me up
Every woman I ever had
Made it hard to trust
Why can't I learn something easy
I learned the hard way
I'm gonna adjust
They gon' say I changed
That's the reason
Please understand
I'm still grieving now
I ain't ever gon' stop
It ain't leaving
I've been so lonely
I've been so obsessed
I've been so focused
On the past
It ain't served me yet
I've been stuck in the middle
Haven't found the one for me yet
When I'm with you
Think it hurts my mental
Without you
I'm hurting less
Ima sleep well
Knowing I'm the best you ever had
Inhale
(Eh eh)
Exhale
(Eh eh)
Best hell I ever had
In here
That's why I kept going back
On thinking that we failed yeah
It's almost like there's someone out there
Tryna treat you well
And it ain't me no more
I tried that too many times
I've been stuck in the middle
I hope that I'm finding my way out
I've been so lonely
I've been so obsessed
I've been so focused
On the past
It ain't served me yet
I've been stuck in the middle
Haven't found the one for me yet
When I'm with you
Think it hurts my mental
Without you
I'm hurting less
Ima sleep well
Knowing I'm the best you ever had
Inhale
(Eh eh)
Exhale
(Eh eh)
Best hell I ever had
In here
That's why I kept going back
On thinking that we failed yeah
It's almost like there's someone out there
Tryna treat you well
And it ain't me no more
I tried that too many times
I've been stuck in the middle
I hope that I'm finding my way out
The first few lines of the song establish a sense of frustration and discontentment with the current situation. The repetition of "It ain't served me yet" suggests that the singer feels like they have not yet found something that fulfills them or brings them satisfaction. This serves as the foundation for the emotions explored throughout the rest of the song.
The next verse delves into the singer's personal struggles, particularly in matters of love and relationships. The lines "I've been so lonely, I've been so obsessed, I've been so focused on the past" reveal a sense of longing and fixation on past experiences. Despite this focus on the past, the singer acknowledges that it hasn't served them well. This may imply that dwelling on the past and past relationships has hindered their ability to move forward or find true happiness.
The chorus expresses the feeling of being "stuck in the middle" and not yet finding the right person. The mention of hurting mentally when with someone, but hurting less without them, suggests that the singer may have experienced some sort of emotional turmoil in relationships. The phrase "Liking you ain't enough right now, to fuck" could imply that casual connections or mere attraction are no longer fulfilling for the singer, and they desire something deeper and more meaningful.
The following verses continue to explore the complexities of relationships and the singer's struggles to find happiness. The line "Every woman I ever had made it hard to trust" suggests past experiences have left the singer feeling wary and guarded. They long to learn something easy and want to adjust their approach to relationships, despite knowing others may think they have changed due to the hardships they've faced.
The repetition of "I've been so lonely, I've been so obsessed, I've been so focused on the past, it ain't served me yet" reinforces the recurring theme of being stuck in the middle and searching for fulfillment. The hopeful phrase "I hope that I'm finding my way out" at the end suggests a desire to break free from this cycle and find a more fulfilling path.
Overall, the lyrics of "THE MIDDLE" delve into the singer's personal struggles and desire for a deeper connection. They express feelings of loneliness, obsession, and frustration, caused in part by past experiences that have made it difficult for them to trust. The song reflects a longing to move beyond the past and find a more fulfilling relationship, while recognizing the need for personal growth and adjusting their approach.
