Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
It just takes some time,
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own (on your own), so don't buy in.
Live right now, yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough (good enough) for someone else.
It just takes some time,
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Everything, everything will be alright, alright.
It just takes some time,
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Everything, everything will be alright, alright.
Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just do your best (just do your best), do everything you can (do everything you can).
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.
It just takes some time,
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Everything, everything will be alright, alright.
It just takes some time,
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Everything, everything will be alright.
"The Middle" by Jillian Edwards is a song about finding self-acceptance and self-love in a world where it's easy to feel left out or looked down upon. The lyrics encourage listeners to try their best and not worry about what others think of them. The song is particularly significant to young people who may feel lost and uncertain as they navigate the ups and downs of life.
The first verse of the song reassures the listener that any feelings of inadequacy or being left out are not based in reality but are in their head. The singer implores the listener to try their best and not worry what others think of them. The chorus reinforces this message that everything will be fine, and not to worry. In the second verse, the singer adds that it's better to be true to oneself than trying to meet other people's expectations.
The song is relatable to anyone who has ever felt like an outsider or struggled to find their place in the world. It's a reminder that we all go through ups and downs, and that it's essential to be kind to ourselves and trust the process. The song is a reassuring beacon of hope that everything will be alright, and it just takes some time.
