Just enjoy yourself as you not as the class queen. They may dress the same and listen to the same music but what is the point in that when you know what you like and you are better at doing what you like? Sure the popular kids are out there doing the same thing, usually playing follow the leader and king of the hill all at the same time. You know you're doing better on your own, The reference to a little girl suggests the teenage years or puberty as a whole: change in the body, peer pressure, self/other esteem, popularity, etc. You're in the middle of the ride, it's life! We all go through this and one day it will be over. Little girl you're in the middle of the ride You might be new in the world or behind them for now but it doesn't matter as long as you try. Give it a shot! Even when you know that people are going to think you suck or are going to talk behind your back. 'Just try your best, try everything you canĭon't you worry what they tell themselves After hearing this I get the image of a child struggling to find the clique that (s)he belongs to. When looking deeper into the song, lyric by lyric however you can get the greater meaning, that this song is quite literally about puberty.or at least just growing up. (After all, they wrote the song after losing a publishing contract.which won them 2 others!) One of my favorites of all time.I agree with most of the other comments for the most part on the reason for the band writing and singing this song. They obviously have someone who felt that way, and we all just want somebody to care about our real feelings.Īnd if you don't realte to it, well you can still dance and jump around with it, that riff is AMAZING and really really catchy.Īdore the video. And if feels awesome to have someone singing specially to us. If you haven't feel left out of weird in society, then you don't know what this song is about. But you can't, so, for those moments Thank You JEW, for giving humanity this perfect piece of art perfect to overcome all those issues and make us feel comfortable with who we are inside and outside, and be able to stand up fot ourselves, and shine for who we really are. At least at once you want to know what people think about you, or you want to do something to fit in, or complitely disappear. We all go through it, and we all feel rejected or misunderstood, secluded, etc, etc, etc. Is like the UNIVERSAL ULTIMATE song to give you hope during those awkward mometns of a hard long-term age called adolescence or for most of us: high School. General CommentI didn't read all of the comments above, so I guess this has being said before, but, this song has helped me so much. It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone elseĪnd don't you worry what their bitter hearts are gonna say You know you're doing better on your own so don't buy in Little girl, you're in the middle of the rideĮverything, everything will be alright, alright

It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down onĪnd don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away
