The Middle
DJ Cesar K-OSO Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a seat right over there, sat on the stairs
Stay or leave, the cabinets are bare and I'm unaware
Of just how we got into this mess, got so aggressive
I know we meant all good intentions

So pull me closer
Why don't you pull me close?
Why don't you come on over?

I can't just let you go

Oh baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle?
I'm losing my mind just a little
So why don't you just meet me in the middle?
In the middle

Baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle?
I'm losing my mind just a little
So why don't you just meet me in the middle?
In the middle, oh

Esto es así, no puede terminar
Porque lo de nosotros acaba de empezar
Tenemos una vida juntos por caminar
Si llego a perderte, muero sólo de pensar
No quiero pelear, no quiero discutir
Sólo a tu lado yo quiero vivir
No dejes que este amor se vaya a morir
Eso es lo que de favor te vengo a pedir

Baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle?
I'm losing my mind just a little
So why don't you just meet me in the middle?
In the middle

Baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle?
I'm losing my mind just a little
So why don't you just meet me in the middle?
In the middle, oh

Te miro a los ojos, no puedes mentir
Sabes que al igual así no puedes vivir
Vamos a matar el orgullo a pedazos
De hoy en adelante, cero fracasos
Vente conmigo, dame tu mano
Vamos a volar a un planeta lejano
Te doy las estrellas del universo
Yo solo tengo para ti, este verso

So pull me closer
Why don't you pull me close?
Why don't you come on over?
I can't just let you go

Baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle?
I'm losing my mind just a little
So why don't you just meet me in the middle?
In the middle

Baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle?
I'm losing my mind just a little

So why don't you just meet me in the middle?
In the middle, oh

Overall Meaning

In DJ Cesar K-OSO's song "The Middle", the singer addresses a lover who has distanced themselves from the relationship. He describes their current state as being in a mess and aggressive, but he still believes they had good intentions. He asks the lover to come back and meet him in the middle, admitting that he's losing his mind just a little bit. The singer reassures his lover that he doesn't want to fight or argue, but he wants to continue building their life together. He acknowledges that they've got a lifelong journey together and he'll die just thinking about losing her. The singer wants to end the pride and come together to achieve zero failures in their relationship. He asks her to give him her hand and fly to a distant planet where he can give her the entire universe.

The song's chorus is its most recognizable feature, emphasizing the singer's plea to come together and meet in the middle. The meditative instrumentals and smooth transitions create a soothing and romantic atmosphere, juxtaposing the song's desperation with a warm invitation for reconciliation. The addition of Spanish lyrics adds to the song's multiculturalism and makes it more accessible to Spanish-speaking audiences worldwide.

Take a seat right over there, sat on the stairs
Come and sit with me here on the staircase

Stay or leave, the cabinets are bare and I'm unaware
You can choose to stay or leave, but there's not much here to eat

Of just how we got into this mess, got so aggressive
I don't understand how we ended up fighting like this and being so angry

I know we meant all good intentions
I believe we both had good intentions

Come close to me

Why don't you pull me close?
Why don't you come closer to me?

Why don't you come on over?
Why don't you come here by my side?

I can't just let you go
I can't bear to let you go
