Lyrics analysis

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why 
   As this is the chorus, i have a set plan for all of the chorus's to be the same as this is a convention of music videos. Basically my protagonist
is going to be sat on a chair in the middle of a field singing along to the music with Teddy's going 
round her in stop motion. The reason for chosen a field is because its in the middle of nowhere, and to reflect that she can't do it alone
i have reflected this by using teddy bears.
 
Slow it down
Make it stop
- A bouncy ball is going to be dropped in a close-up shot and then reversed, i think that this will
be an interesting yet quirky way of reflecting life slowing down and stopping. 
 
Or else my heart is going to pop - Cardboard heart held up to her chest
'Cause it's too much 
Yeah, it's a lot
To be something I'm not
 - Walking away but singing back at the camera, this is to show her everyday life.

I'm a fool
Out of love
'Cause I just can't get enough 
- Toast goes in the toaster - stop motion, shows everyday life. (idea from bunny suicides)
  
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why 
 -same chorus.
 
I am just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show 
 -Protagonist eating and drinking stop motion.
 

The sun is hot 
In the sky 
 - Protagonist as a weather presenter.

Just like a giant spotlight  - Protagonist under a spotlight
The people follow the signs
And synchronize in time 
- Protagonist under signs that read the lyrics, so show how much of a consumerist society we are. 
It's a joke
Nobody knows 
 - protagonist spinning around on the field to link back to the chorus.
They've got a ticket to that show
Yeah 
- Protagonist close-up singing, voyeuristic pleasure.  
 
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go, 
can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why 
 - same chorus

I am just a little girl lost in the moment 
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go 
-sliding down the banister, stop motion. 
  
And just enjoy the show oh oh oh 
Just enjoy the show oh oh oh 
 - close-up singing lyrics.
 
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why 
- Same chorus 
 
I am just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it 
 - laid on a bed singing
 
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show oh oh oh 
 -slippers walking up, stop motion
 
Just enjoy the show -back to field
 
dum de dum
dudum de dum 
 - flash back to toast.
 
Just enjoy the show - spinning round
 
dum de dum
dudum de dum 
 - Flash back to toast and drink, stop motion

Just enjoy the show  -spinning round
 

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back 
 - Money in protagonists hand close-up
 
Just enjoy the show  -singing in field

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back 
 - Money in protagonists hand close-up

Just enjoy the show - looking at the camera and singing.
