Border Line Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know I tried so hard
My feelings just can’t discard
The way in which I fell into
Your heart was never what I once knew
Lately my skull has kept
Dividing lines deep set and paved
Two paths too wander through to depart
And sever desires to pursue
[Chorus]
And the soul chokes
To cause the tide
To enforce divide
This whole ocean has morphed in time
I’ll escort her mind to solve my crimes
Reach slow motion to con the mind
[Verse 2]
See here I trace my steps
To where my senses left
And rain had turn my sense to mush
This slowly seeping straight through the crust
Now let these stains of gunk slip down
To where my head once sunk and drowned
Just await for a while to see
My body has merged to the deep cruel sea
You know I tried so hard
My feelings just can’t discard
The way in which I fell into
Your heart was never what I once knew
Lately my skull has kept
Dividing lines deep set and paved
Two paths too wander through to depart
And sever desires to pursue
[Chorus]
And the soul chokes
To cause the tide
To enforce divide
This whole ocean has morphed in time
I’ll escort her mind to solve my crimes
Reach slow motion to con the mind
[Verse 2]
See here I trace my steps
To where my senses left
And rain had turn my sense to mush
This slowly seeping straight through the crust
Now let these stains of gunk slip down
To where my head once sunk and drowned
Just await for a while to see
My body has merged to the deep cruel sea
[Chorus]
But my soul floats
Adrift thoughtless minds, distorted lines
The soul is broken down, borderlines
To cause the tide, to enforce divide
This whole ocean has morphed in time
I’ll escort her mind to solve my crimes
Reach slow motion and con the mind
[Outro]
So scorn divine and mourn the pride
The cold has spoken and drawn the line
But my soul floats
Adrift thoughtless minds, distorted lines
The soul is broken down, borderlines
To cause the tide, to enforce divide
This whole ocean has morphed in time
I’ll escort her mind to solve my crimes
Reach slow motion and con the mind
[Outro]
So scorn divine and mourn the pride
The cold has spoken and drawn the line
About
Genius Annotation
The weight of the world weighs heavy on young Archy’s shoulders. On Border Line he describes his body merging into the deep cruel sea, but his soul floats above it, like Jean-Dominique Bauby’s imagination in The Diving Bell And The Butterfly.
