The phrase "being in the middle of the fiddle" likely refers to the idea of being caught in a difficult or uncomfortable situation, akin to the expression "in the middle of a pickle." The origin of the phrase itself is not well-documented, but it may derive from the imagery of a fiddle, or violin, where the player must navigate complex melodies and harmonies, symbolizing the challenges one faces in life. This metaphor highlights the struggle of finding balance and resolution amidst chaos.
