Cross The Line
First State feat Relyk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Echoes ripple back,
like some kind of warning
Don't know what you'd do,
if you hit the mark
Should have though about that,
back before the start
Tables turn reveal,
what's hidden deepest
Now that you are free,
you tell all your secrets
Come the moment you barely put up a fight
You don't give a damn,
if it is wrong or right, 'Cause
every time,
I'm looking for a sign
You go and cross the line
Come on and cross the line
you're not mine
but tell me
What´s it wrong?
In wanting cross the line?
Come on and cross the line
every time,
I'm looking for a sign (for a sign)
You go and cross the line
Come on and cross the line (cross the line)
you're not mine
but tell me
What´s it wrong? (What´s it wrong?)
In wanting cross the line?
go on and cross the line (cross the line)
Every time, for a sign (for a sign)
cross the line
Come on and cross the line (cross the line)
you're not mine
What´s it wrong? (What´s it wrong?)
cross the line
go on and cross the line (cross the line)
every time,
I'm looking for a sign
You go and cross the line
Come on and cross the line
you're not mine
but tell me
What´s it wrong?
In wanting cross the line?
go on and cross the line
In these lyrics, the image of shooting a gun brings to mind a feeling of loneliness and the echo of the shot serves as a warning, as if to say that taking certain actions can have far-reaching consequences. The idea that one should think about the consequences before starting something is emphasized, as the singer suggests that those consequences can come back to haunt you. The tables eventually turn, and what was once hidden is revealed as the person in question finds freedom in sharing their secrets. However, the singer notes that when they are looking for a sign, the other person always seems to cross the line, indicating that they are overstepping boundaries and pushing the limits of the relationship. Despite this, the singer seems somewhat open to the idea of the other person crossing the line, even though they are not officially together.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of danger and risk-taking, but also a willingness to allow others to push us outside of our comfort zones. There is a sense that living on the edge and taking risks can be thrilling, but that we should also be aware of the potential consequences of our actions. Ultimately, the lyrics leave us with a sense of ambiguity - the singer seems to want the other person to cross the line, but also recognizes that it might not be the best idea.
