Caught In The Middle
Hayley Nichole Williams, Taylor York
I can't think of getting old
It only makes me want to die
And I can't think of who I was
'Cause it just makes me want to cry, cry, cry, cry
Can't look back, can't look too far ahead
You got the point, you got the message
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I try to keep going but it's not that simple
I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle
I gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter
Yeah, I'm caught in the middle
I was dreaming life away
All the while just going blind
Can't see the forest for the trees
Behind the lids of my own eyes
Nostalgia's cool, but it won't help me now
A dream is good (don't wear it out)
If you don't wear it out
And I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I try to keep going but it's not that simple
I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle
I gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter
Yeah, I'm caught in the middle
No, I don't need no help
I can sabotage me by myself
I don't need no one else
I can sabotage me by myself
I don't need no help
I can sabotage me by myself
Don't need no one else
I can sabotage me by myself
I don't need no help
I can sabatoge me by myself
Don't need no one else
I can sabotage me by myself
I don't need no help
I can sabatoge me by myself
Don't need no one else
I can sabotage me by myself
And I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I try to keep going but it's not that simple
I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle
Gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter
Yeah I'm caught in the middle
I'm caught in the middle
A Luta Interna e a Pressão do Tempo em Caught In The Middle
A música Caught In The Middle da banda Paramore, liderada pela vocalista Hayley Williams, é uma reflexão sobre o passar do tempo e a sensação de estar preso entre o passado e o futuro. A letra expressa uma luta interna com a nostalgia e a ansiedade, um tema recorrente na discografia da banda que é conhecida por suas letras introspectivas e sua sonoridade que mistura pop punk e rock alternativo.
No início da canção, a vocalista canta sobre a dificuldade de aceitar o envelhecimento e a perda da identidade que vem com a mudança dos tempos. A expressão 'can’t see the forest for the trees' ilustra a incapacidade de ver o quadro geral por estar muito focado nos detalhes ou problemas imediatos. A música sugere que viver no passado ou sonhar com o futuro sem agir no presente pode levar a uma espécie de cegueira emocional, onde a pessoa se sente perdida e incapaz de avançar.
O refrão 'I'm just a little bit caught in the middle' ressoa como um hino para aqueles que se sentem paralisados pela pressão de continuar se movendo, apesar das dificuldades. A música também aborda a autossabotagem, uma crítica à tendência humana de criar obstáculos para si mesmo. A repetição da frase 'I can sabotage me by myself' enfatiza a ideia de que, muitas vezes, somos nossos próprios inimigos. Caught In The Middle é uma música que fala sobre a resiliência necessária para enfrentar os desafios da vida, reconhecendo as dificuldades, mas também a importância de persistir e não ser rotulado como alguém que desiste facilmente.
I can't think of getting old
Não consigo pensar em envelhecer
It only makes me want to die
Isso só me faz querer morrer
And I can't think of who I was
E não consigo pensar em quem eu era
'Cause it just makes me want to cry, cry, cry, cry
Porque isso só me faz querer chorar, chorar, chorar, chorar
Can't look back, can't look too far ahead
Não posso olhar para trás, não posso olhar muito à frente
You got the point, you got the message
Você entendeu, entendeu o recado
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Estou apenas um pouco presa no meio
I try to keep going but it's not that simple
Eu tento continuar, mas não é tão simples
I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle
Acho que estou um pouco presa no meio
I gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter
Tenho que continuar ou eles me chamarão de desistente
Yeah, I'm caught in the middle
Sim, estou presa no meio
I was dreaming life away
Eu estava sonhando a vida toda
All the while just going blind
O tempo todo simplesmente ficando cega
Can't see the forest for the trees
Não consigo ver a floresta pelas árvores
Behind the lids of my own eyes
Atrás das pálpebras dos meus próprios olhos
Nostalgia's cool, but it won't help me now
A nostalgia é legal, mas não vai me ajudar agora
A dream is good (don't wear it out)
Um sonho é bom (não o desgaste)
If you don't wear it out
Se você não o desgastar
And I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
E estou apenas um pouco presa no meio
I try to keep going but it's not that simple
Eu tento continuar, mas não é tão simples
I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle
Acho que estou um pouco presa no meio
I gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter
Tenho que continuar ou eles me chamarão de desistente
Yeah, I'm caught in the middle
Sim, estou presa no meio
No, I don't need no help
Não, eu não preciso de ajuda
I can sabotage me by myself
Eu posso me sabotar sozinha
I don't need no one else
Eu não preciso de mais ninguém
I can sabotage me by myself
Eu posso me sabotar sozinha
I don't need no help
Eu não preciso de ajuda
I can sabotage me by myself
Eu posso me sabotar sozinha
Don't need no one else
Não preciso de mais ninguém

Estou presa no meio
I can't think of getting old
No puedo pensar en envejecer
It only makes me want to die
Solo me hace querer morir
And I can't think of who I was
Y no puedo pensar en quién fui
'Cause it just makes me want to cry, cry, cry, cry
Porque solo me hace querer llorar, llorar, llorar, llorar
Can't look back, can't look too far ahead
No puedo mirar atrás, no puedo mirar demasiado adelante

I was dreaming life away
Estaba soñando la vida lejos
All the while just going blind
Mientras tanto, solo quedaba ciega
Can't see the forest for the trees
No puedo ver el bosque por los árboles
Behind the lids of my own eyes
Detrás de los párpados de mis propios ojos
Nostalgia's cool, but it won't help me now
La nostalgia está bien, pero no me ayudará ahora

I can't think of getting old
Je ne peux pas penser à vieillir
It only makes me want to die
Cela ne fait que me donner envie de mourir

Behind the lids of my own eyes
Derrière les paupières de mes propres yeux
Nostalgia's cool, but it won't help me now
La nostalgie est cool, mais elle ne m'aidera pas maintenant

I can't think of getting old
Ich kann nicht daran denken, alt zu werden
It only makes me want to die
Es lässt mich nur sterben wollen
And I can't think of who I was
Und ich kann nicht daran denken, wer ich war
'Cause it just makes me want to cry, cry, cry, cry
Denn es lässt mich nur weinen, weinen, weinen, weinen
Can't look back, can't look too far ahead
Kann nicht zurückblicken, kann nicht zu weit vorausschauen

Ich habe das Leben weggeträumt
All the while just going blind

Behind the lids of my own eyes
Hinter den Lidern meiner eigenen Augen
Nostalgia's cool, but it won't help me now
