The Middle
Mini Pop Kids 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

Take a step back for a minute, into the kitchen
Floors are wet and taps are still running, dishes are broken
How did we get 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

Looking at you, I can′t lie
Just pouring out admission
Regardless of my objection, oh
And it's not about my pride
I need you on my skin
Just come over, pull me in, just

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, no no
Baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle? Oh Yeah
I′m losing my mind just a little
So why don't you just meet me in the middle? Oh
In the middle
Baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle, baby?
I′m losing my mind just a little

So why don′t you just meet me in the middle, middle?
In the middle, middle

Overall Meaning

The song "The Middle" by Mini Pop Kids is about a couple who are in a messy situation, fighting and arguing with each other. The song starts with one person asking the other to take a seat, but the conversation quickly turns negative. However, despite their fighting, the singers still feel a strong attraction towards each other and don't want to let go. They beg the other person to come closer and meet them in the middle, trying to find a way to reconcile and stop the fighting.

The lyrics suggest that there is some kind of disagreement or problem between the two individuals, but they are struggling to figure out how to solve it. They're aware that their behavior has become too aggressive, but they still have good intentions. The repeated plea to "meet me in the middle" hence sounds like an invitation to compromise, to find common ground and work things out together.

One interpretation suggests that the song is referring to a romantic relationship that has hit a rough patch. Both people want to stay together, but they need to find a way to address the issues that are causing their stress and conflict. The lyrics seem to suggest the belief that meeting in the middle, listening to each other's perspectives and finding a solution together, would be the best course of action.
