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.

She Won't Ever Figure It Out
Big D And The Kids Table Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Big D and The Kids Table's song "She Won't Ever Figure It Out" explore the frustrating and often cyclical nature of toxic relationships. The repetition of the line "she won't ever figure it out" suggests a sense of resignation on the part of the singer - it seems he has seen this situation play out before and is doubtful that the girl in question will be able to break away from the destructive patterns she has fallen into.
The second stanza emphasizes the singer's role in this scenario - he is the person that these individuals turn to for advice and support. It's clear that he has seen firsthand how the girl in the relationship is treated, and he is urging her to "not be dumb" and see the situation for what it is. However, despite his efforts, the girl still "goes back" to the guy, as she is attracted to the drama and chaos that comes with the relationship. The song ends with the girl seemingly making the decision to leave the guy, but it's left unclear whether or not she will actually follow through on this.
