Caught In The Middle
Horizon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A carefree gypsy not even knowing right from wrong
A wayward child swearing nobody would ever hold me down
I've been livin' like a drifter, I've been wandering on and on
A restless rambler always on the run
Here today, gone tomorrow and never looking back
But after all these years spent livin' on borrowed time
When I face the brutal truth I see my life ain't worth a dime
And I'm longing for a brand new start
Caught in the middle, out of my mind
I've got to have a change 'cause my future's on the line
Caught in the middle, shot by both sides
I'm branded by my past, can I leave it all behind?
I've been drinking with the devil, I've been stepping out of line
Playing with fire, no stranger to sin an' crime
Down an' dirty, walkin' on the border of the danger zone
I've been stumbling in the darkness, I've been left out in the cold
Slippin' an' slidin', losin' all control
An outcast heading for the gutter down on skid row
When I thought that I was alive I was just trying to survive
Driving fast on a road to nowhere
Now my back's against the wall 'cause I finally realize
That I'm alone with no-one who cares
Caught in the middle, out of my mind
I've got to have a change 'cause my future's on the line
Caught in the middle, shot by both sides
I'm branded by my past, can I leave it all behind?
Caught in the middle, out of my mind
I have to make a choice, it' s a case of do or die
Caught in the middle, out of my mind
I know I've gone too far, will I have to pay the price?
The song "Caught in the Middle" by Horizon is an introspective and reflective piece about the consequences of a life lived without direction or purpose. The singer describes himself as a "carefree gypsy" who has been wandering aimlessly, living as a drifter, and swearing no one will ever hold him down. He has been indulging in vices and living on borrowed time, only to realize that his life is without value and yearns for a new start. The chorus of the song uses the metaphor of being caught in the middle, shot by both sides, symbolizing the internal conflict of the singer, who is torn between his past and his desire for a better future.
The first verse of the song talks about the singer's journey, as he has been on the run for so long, constantly living his life on the edge, and never looking back. He has been drinking with the devil and stepping out of line, playing with fire, no stranger to sin and crime, and walking on the border of the danger zone. However, he finally comes to the realization that he has been driving fast on a road to nowhere. In the second verse, the singer states that he finally understands that he has been living in a false sense of reality and that he is all alone with nobody who cares for him. He knows he has gone too far and might have to pay the ultimate price.
