The band got their name from a suggestion given by a friend, because whenever that friend had dinner at Dave's house he would sit at the kid's table.

Moment of Weakness
Big D And The Kids Table Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Having someone like you around
There's nothing like:
Trusting, then falling to the ground
No, no, no, no - moments of weakness
No, no, no, no - moments of weakness
I think about:
Everyday I spent with you
A better life out there waning, waning
What was clean is now... gross
I think about:
Everynight that I spent with you
A better friends out there waiting, waiting
It sickens me, that we were close
No, no, no, no - moments of weakness
No, no, no, no - moments of weakness
Oh no, you've cheated baby
Cheated, cheated
Now it's too? to feed it
Oh no, it's from me I'll leave unsaid, unsaid
Find me someone better instead
Find me someone better instead
Oh no, you've cheated baby
Cheated, cheated
Now it's too? to feed it
Oh no, it's from me I'll leave unsaid, unsaid
Find me someone better instead
Oh no, you've cheated baby
Cheated, cheated
Now it's too? to feed it
Oh no, it's from me I'll leave unsaid, unsaid
Find me someone better instead
No, no, no, no - moments of weakness
No, no, no, no - moments...
There's nothing like:
Having someone like you around
There's nothing like:
Trusting, never hitting the ground
There's nothing like:
Having someone who's new around
There's nothing like:
Trusting, never hitting the ground
There's nothing like:
Someone isn't you
The lyrics to Big D And The Kid's Table's song "Moment of Weakness" convey a sense of betrayal and hurt as the singer reflects on a relationship that has been damaged by infidelity. The opening lines, "There's nothing like having someone like you around / There's nothing like trusting, then falling to the ground," suggest that the singer had invested a lot of trust and emotional energy into the relationship, only to have it come crashing down.
The chorus repeats the phrase "no, no, no, no - moments of weakness" as the singer reflects on the moments when their partner's fidelity was called into question. The second verse continues to explore the anger and confusion that the singer feels, as they think back on the time they spent with their partner and realize that they may have been missing out on other opportunities. The bridge of the song contains the poignant line, "Find me someone better instead," indicating that the singer is ready to move on and find someone who will treat them with the respect they deserve.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a strong sense of disappointment and disillusionment with the idea of romantic love and commitment, and the pain that can come when those ideals are shattered.
