Middle
MajMasti.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You waste my mind
I've become hungry
All of the time
For something I've never
Savored before
But it's the less, that
Empty Shelf, I myself become
You fed me, I ate it
You hurt me, and I hate it
I never meant to, step on your toes,
But isn't that the way
It seems it always goes
Spun like a tornado, my
Mind is twisted on
Your barbed wire fence
That's built higher
Than you've ever been
You fed me, I ate it
You hurt me, and I hate it
Silent, quiet, too scared to try it
Stabbed how many times does your
Sacred heart bleed
Is it my soul you want
Or is it something that you need
I taste your love
You waste my mind
I tasted your love
You wasted my mind
Don't feed me, won't eat it
Don't hurt me, delete it.
The lyrics to MajMasti.in's song "Middle" depict a toxic relationship that has left the singer feeling hungry for something they have never tasted before. The first two lines set up a dichotomy between the singer's experience of the relationship: they are experiencing the pleasure of love, but at the same time, it is causing them anguish. The line "you waste my mind" implies that the love they are receiving is not enough, and they are left feeling unfulfilled.
The next stanza speaks to the singer's frustration with the partner's inability to provide them with what they need: "But it's the less, that/ You feed me, from this/ Empty Shelf, I myself become." The partner is giving them less than they need, which is causing the singer to spiral into a state of emotional emptiness. The line "You fed me, I ate it/ You hurt me, and I hate it" reveals that the singer is aware that they are being mistreated, but they feel powerless to change the situation.
The chorus drives home the fact that the singer is feeling trapped and helpless: "Silent, quiet, too scared to try it/ Stabbed how many times does your/ Sacred heart bleed/ Is it my soul you want/ Or is it something that you need." The singer feels like they are walking on eggshells around their partner, unsure if they are being loved for who they are or simply as an object to meet the partner's needs. In the last stanza, the singer seems to reach breaking point, and they declare that they will no longer tolerate the partner's mistreatment: "Don't feed me, won't eat it/ Don't hurt me, delete it."

I taste your love
I am experiencing the emotion of love that you are providing me with
You waste my mind
You are causing me to lose focus and think about nothing but you
I've become hungry
I am craving more of this feeling that you are giving me
All of the time
Constantly and without end
For something I've never
I am yearning for an experience that I have yet to encounter
Savored before
That I have never tasted or enjoyed before
But it's the less, that
What you are providing me with is not enough
You feed me, from this
Even though you are providing me with something to sustain myself
Empty Shelf, I myself become
I am left feeling empty and unfulfilled
You fed me, I ate it
I consumed what you provided me with
You hurt me, and I hate it
Your actions caused me pain and I despise it
I never meant to, step on your toes,
I did not intentionally want to hurt or upset you in any way
But isn't that the way
However, things seem to always end up this way
It seems it always goes
That negative situations tend to arise
Spun like a tornado, my
My thoughts and emotions are spiraling out of control
Mind is twisted on
And it is difficult for me to regain my composure
Your barbed wire fence
The emotional barriers that you have put up
That's built higher
Are causing me to have a harder time accessing and understanding you
Than you've ever been
And you are becoming increasingly difficult to connect with
Silent, quiet, too scared to try it
I am afraid to speak up and attempt to break through these barriers
Stabbed how many times does your
How many times have you experienced pain or heartbreak
Sacred heart bleed
In your most intimate and vulnerable moments
Is it my soul you want
Are you truly interested in understanding and connecting with who I am
Or is it something that you need
Or are you only looking to fulfill your own needs and desires
Don't feed me, won't eat it
I refuse to accept and consume what you are offering me
Don't hurt me, delete it.
I refuse to allow your actions to continue to cause me pain and will remove myself from the situation
