In the Middle
Cambriana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're coming along okay
You sold the things that you owned
And now you're asking me
Well, bust me up
Hold on, man
You said you'd better your life
But that's still on the list
It's underlined
And no one really knows... why
Oh, brother
I've seen you before the storm
You've made a lot of mistakes
But this one takes the cake
It's understood
And even in this sun
You sold your name
The neighbors saw
A man who didn't know his way
But this what i expect
From someone talking like that
You're really coming along okay
You're fucking up
And even in this sun
You sold your name
The neighbors saw
A man who didn't know his way
Well, get up
And fall down
You stand up in the middle
And there goes your crown
Well, get up
On my face
There's just more in the middle
Then what you would think
Well, get up
And fall down
I stand back in the middle
I'm holding your crown
Well, get up
On my face
There's just more in the middle
Then what you would think
The lyrics to Cambriana's "In the Middle" are both introspective and cryptic in nature. The song appears to be about a conversation between two brothers, with one brother expressing frustration and the other trying to offer advice. The opening lines, "Hey brother, You're coming along okay, You sold the things that you owned, And now you're asking me," suggest that one brother has made some poor decisions in his life and is now turning to the other for help. However, the line "Well, bust me up, Hold on, man/You got on my nerves today," indicates that the other brother is also struggling with his own emotions and may not be in the best position to offer guidance.
The song's chorus, "Well, get up/And fall down/You stand up in the middle/And there goes your crown," seems to express a sentiment of resilience in the face of adversity. The idea that someone can "stand up in the middle" implies that they are trying to find a way forward, even if they do not know exactly what that path looks like. The line "You sold your name/The neighbors saw/A man who didn't know his way" suggests that one brother may have already made some decisions that have damaged his reputation, but that there is still hope for him to turn things around.
