Borderline
Mr. King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know
Feeling down and depressed, whats left?
I don't care
Let your love reign and shine down the borderline
Rain down on me
Will it be mine?
Will it be yours?
Looking up towards the sunrise
It makes me feel alright
Except (All) those who lost
Let your love reign and shine down the borderline
Pain in my head
Never felt better, better off alone
Embracing the loved ones
Who will carry on, yeah!
Let your love reign and shine down the borderline
Pain in my head
Never felt better, better off alone
Embracing the loved ones
Who will carry on, yeah!
The lyrics in Mr. King's song "Borderline" represent a person questioning their mental stability and pondering over their emotions and feelings. The first two lines of the verse "Hear a voice inside my mind, who's there? I don't know" convey confusion and uncertainty, emphasizing the turmoil going on inside the person's head. The following lines "Feeling down and depressed, what's left? I don't care" further accentuate the helplessness and apathy the person is experiencing.
However, despite their struggles, the person finds solace in imagining a world where love reigns supreme and "shines down the borderline". This suggests that they desire a sense of hope and comfort amidst their inner turmoil. The mention of "seeing visions of loss" could symbolize the fear and anxiety they feel about the future. In contrast, looking up towards the sunrise makes them feel better, but the mention of "except those who lost" implies that they are acknowledging the reality of loss and grief.
The repetition of "pain in my head... never felt better, better off alone," suggests that the person has reached a point where they have accepted their feelings of pain and loss, even though it is still overwhelming. The final lines of the verse "embracing the loved ones who will carry on" affirm the importance of those who are there to support and guide them.

I’m probably the only 45 year old Scandinavian woman who can sing this song 😄 I spent 6 months in Trinidad 20 years ago. Lived in Diego Martin, worked at YMCA and won the flattering title: Sexiest, freakiest woman in a fully packed Zen nightclub. Awesome times. Awesome country. Awesome people. Awesome music.

More than 15 years after Sean Luke's brutal torture and murder his killers were finally convicted. I had to come find this song!!
@paulkhadoo2253
That's the justice system we have in our beautiful island it fails the innocent and promotes the wicked. My brother was murdered and after 5 years the killer was out free.
@BZlive1
Just realized he said Sean Luke in his song. Not from Trinidad but I was a child when this happened-never been so terrified in my life watching news. Damn
