borderline
GRAY Michael & POOLE Shelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One more and I'm gonna die
Wired out waiting for the sign
Coz your a risk and I'm borderline
All I know is I've been sitting with this fire and it burns inside
Man if you want me to walk your line then don't stop at eight no lets take it
To the nine's
Because man I really need it
To the nine's
I may be full but It's not enough
Come and show me how to feel it
All or nothing
You know that's how I play the game and I'm ready now
Man if you want me, come cross the line and
Slide up to eight then lets take it
To the nine's
The song "Borderline" by GRAY Michael and POOLE Shelly is an emotional ballad that speaks about the intense rollercoaster of emotions of falling for someone who is risky and dangerous to love. The lyrics are a reflection of the feelings of a person who is walking on the edge of their limits and who is about to go overboard. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer states that it is going to be another lonely night, and warns that one more lonely night would be too much to bear, indicating that they are hanging by a thread.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's need to be desired and loved as they sing about sitting with the fire inside that burns within them. They want to be loved to the extreme, and they express this by saying that they want to take it to the nines. The next verse speaks to the intensity of the singer's feelings, as they admit to playing the game all or nothing. They end the song with hope that the person they are singing to will cross the line, and they can take it to the nines.
Overall, "Borderline" is a song that captures the raw emotions of loving someone who is a risk, and who makes one constantly long for more.
