Borderline Lyrics

The boys of the empire
They set head fire
Pull the plug sire
I'll spit fire

Gents of the empire
Strangle my desire
Pull the plug sire
And I'll spit fire

I'm borderline happy and I'm borderline sad
I'm borderline good and I'm borderline bad
And I can't get rid of tingling fear
You'd sort me out if my head gets clear
I live my life in shackles but I'm borderline free
I used to be blind and I still can't see
And I won't get around to a change of mind
As long as nobody breaks my stride

Tricks of the empire
Make happy kids aim higher
Higher up they wet fire
Fools of the empire

I went to school in the empire
Learnt the rules from a brat sire
I be a fool of the empire
'Til I break loose spread fire
Burn it down

I'm borderline happy and I'm borderline sad
I'm borderline good and I'm borderline bad
And I can't get rid of tingling fear
You'd sort me out if my head gets clear
I live my life in shackles but I'm borderline free
I used to be blind and I still can't see
And I won't get around to a change of mind
As long as nobody breaks my stride

I'm borderline happy and I'm borderline sad
I'm borderline good and I'm borderline bad
And I can't get rid of the tingling fear
You'd sort me out if my head gets clear
I live my life in shackles but I'm borderline free
I used to be blind and I still can't see
And I won't get around to a change of mind
As long as nobody breaks my stride

The repeated chorus expresses a state of being "borderline" between opposing emotions and behaviors, symbolizing internal conflicts and an ongoing struggle for self-definition in a restrictive world. 🌍 The lyrics suggest a critique of societal norms imposed by "the empire," possibly representing authoritative or cultural structures that dictate personal choices and freedoms. Through vivid imagery, Styrke conveys a feeling of rebellion against these forces, aspiring to ignite change while wrestling with her own limitations and uncertainties. The song resonates as an anthem for those caught between compliance and resistance, searching for clarity amidst confusion. 🔥
