The Middle

Demi Lovato

I knew where I was going when you left the room
You're the kinda guy that makes me want to
Follow through to you
I've been trying to leave you for the longest time
The second that I saw you I just knew I found my right guy

I like it [Repeat: x6]

I wanna crash
I wanna fall
I wanna be somewhere in the middle.
Somewhere in the middle
Something
It's better than nothing
I just need a little
I just need a little cause I
Don't wanna be nowhere
But somethings makin' me go there
Somewhere in the middle with you

I like it [Repeat: x6]

Losing my direction,
That's the way it should be
Feeling a connection
When you're standing next to me
I wanna be rolling
I just wanna be rolling with you.

All of the things you say
I like it
Taking me far away
I like it

I wanna crash
I wanna fall
I wanna be somewhere in the middle.
Somewhere in the middle
Something
It's better than nothing
I just need a little
I just need a little cause I
Don't wanna be nowhere
But somethings makin' me go there
Somewhere in the middle with you

Baby you take me
You wanna take me from this crazy place
Baby
Cause I just need a little
I just need a little
Somewhere in the middle with you

I wanna crash
I wanna fall
I wanna be somewhere in the middle.
Somewhere in the middle
Something
It's better than nothing
I just need a little
I just need a little cause I
Don't wanna be nowhere
But somethings makin' me go there
Somewhere in the middle with you

Crash
Fall
I like it I like it
Somewhere in the middle with you

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
