The Middle
Navigating Shadows: Embracing Freedom Amidst Chaos
Lyrics
My friends are all too political
Expressing discomfort with overly political friends
They think they're right
Highlighting the friends' conviction in their beliefs
I'm stayin' in the middle
Choosing to stay neutral and avoid conflicts
I don't like to fight
Preferencing peace over engaging in fights
Just do what you want
Advocating for personal freedom
Just don't stop me from bein' free
Requesting not to be hindered in pursuing freedom
Illusions aren't just optical
Stating that illusions go beyond visual perception
That's what I believe
Expressing a personal belief in the nature of illusions
The Devil's in the hospital
Suggesting a negative presence in difficult situations
Watchin' you bleed
Observing a dark scenario with suffering
And the angels are waiting patiently
Implying a spiritual aspect with angels waiting
They say if you sing hallelujah
Connecting singing "hallelujah" with potential danger
Then one day they'll come to shoot ya
Cautioning against blind faith with potential consequences
And if you love someone like ya
Linking love to potential emotional pain or death
Then you just, you just might die
Highlighting the vulnerability of loving deeply
A little bit inside
Suggesting internal emotional turmoil from love
If freedom's nothin left to loose
Contemplating sacrificing freedom for a greater cause
I'd give it up, that's what I'd choose
Expressing a willingness to give up freedom for a choice
And I'm headed right for peace
Heading towards a state of peace
And I'm beggin' you come with me please
Pleading for others to join in the pursuit of peace
But I, oh I, I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about the right direction
Which way, which way to go
Indicating confusion about the correct path to take
They say if you sing hallelujah
Reiterating the potential danger of expressing faith
Then one day they'll come to shoot ya
Emphasizing the risk associated with praising
And if you love someone like ya
Connecting love to potential consequences, echoing earlier lines
Then you might, you just might die
Repeating the warning about the risks of love
A little bit inside
Concluding with the idea of internal emotional impact
