Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My heart's not true
Tell me if we're on the line
Are we through?
Tell me if you're in my life
Don't go
Baby, are we on the line?
Are we through?
Baby, are we on the line?
Tell me baby, are you mine?
Is our love on the line?
Tell me baby, are you mine?
Look and tell me what I'd find
Tell me baby, are you mine?
My heart's not true
Are we through? Oh
Don't go
Are we through? Oh
Tell me if you caught my lie
Oh
Tell me if we're on the line
Are we through? Oh
Tell me if you're in my life
Don't go
Baby, are we on the line?
Baby, are we on the line?
Tell me baby, are you mine?
Is our love on the line?
Tell me baby, are you mine?
Look and tell me what I'd find
Tell me baby, are you mine?
Tell me baby, are you mine?
Tell me baby, are you mine?
So baby, is it all you got?
Baby, are we on the line?
So baby, is it all you got?
Tell me baby, are you mine?
So baby, is it all you got?
Is our love on the line?
So baby, is it all you got?
Tell me baby, are you mine?
So baby, is it all you got?
Look and tell me what I'd find
So baby, is it all you got?
Tell me baby, are you mine?
So baby, is it all you got?
Tell me baby, are you mine?
So baby, is it all you got?
Tell me baby, are you mine?
The lyrics of Blood Orange's "On the Line" express a sense of uncertainty and fear in a romantic relationship. The singer is unsure whether their partner truly loves them or not, and they fear that their love might not be reciprocated. This fear causes the singer to question whether the relationship is worth continuing or if it is already over.
The repeated question of "are we on the line?" serves as a metaphor for the uncertain state of the relationship. The singer is metaphorically standing on a line that separates love and abandonment. They are unsure if their love is strong enough to save the relationship or if they are doomed to cross that line and end the relationship.
The repetition of the phrase "is it all you got?" at the end of the song speaks to the singer's doubt in their partner's commitment to the relationship. They are questioning whether their partner is giving the relationship their all or if they are holding back.
Overall, the song captures the raw emotions of a relationship in distress, where doubt and fear can overshadow love and affection.

This song is severely underrated. The part at the end is seriously the best thing I've heard yet.
