A few months passed and some more songs came to life. Linnéa and Christian started to feel they had something going, the songs sounded well. So they wanted to form a band and asked the drummer Fredrik Löfgren and the bass player Johan Nilsson if they wanted to join. The project had now developed into more of a band project than just song writing and recording.

Sins in Vain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the back of my mind
You have read all my
All my hidden letters
Don't know if I want to
Want to play this game
Can you keep a secret
No one has to know
How I long
For the world to wake again
I hope that when life returns
Your love won't be only thing
That keeps me alive
That fills me up inside
Let birds sing to me
Drawing of the
Borderline
I am killing
Killing time
Make a choice, or
Let it pass
Time is killing
Time is killing me
Extend the night
So I can stay asleep
I wish to stay in this dream
Where I can have it all
Without having
To sacrifice a thing
Undress me in the dark
Drawing of the
Borderline
I am killing
Killing time
Make a choice, or
Let it pass
Time is killing
Time is killing me
Desperately
Clinging to
Memories
Trying to recall
The feeling
Of love
Drawing of the
Borderline
I am killing
Killing time
Make a choice, or
Let it pass
Time is killing
Time is killing
Drawing of the
Borderline
I am killing
Killing time
Make a choice, or
Let it pass
Time is killing
Time is killing me
Killing me
The lyrics of "Borderline" by Sins in Vain captures the feeling of being stuck in a limbo, waiting for something to happen. The first verse talks about someone who has settled in the back of the writer's mind, knowing all their hidden secrets. They are hesitant to play the game of love but are torn between keeping their feelings secret and having someone to fill the emptiness inside. In the chorus, the writer expresses their longing for the world to wake up, implying that life has become dull and unfulfilling. Even though they hope that when life returns, love won't be the only thing keeping them alive, they are still unsure. The bridge further showcases the writer's desperation, desperately clinging to fading memories of love, and trying to evoke those feelings again.
The second verse talks about the writer's desire to stay in a dream, where they can have everything without sacrifice. They wish for time to stop, so they can extend their state of peace. The line "undress me in the dark" can be interpreted as a request to reveal their true selves, their innermost thoughts and desires. The repetition of "Drawing of the/Boundaryline" emphasizes the sense of being stuck between choices, and how much time is slipping away.
Overall, the song Borderline is about being stuck in a state of limbo, unsure of what to do, and desperate for change. It explores the themes of longing, hesitation, and fear, with an underlying message that sometimes taking a leap of faith is worth the risk.

Drawing of the
Illustration of the blurred boundary between reality and fantasy
Borderline
The line that divides the real from the imaginary
I am killing
I am wasting
Killing time
Wasting away precious moments
Make a choice, or
Decide now, or
Let it pass
Allow this opportunity to slip away
Time is killing
The passing of time is wasting away
Time is killing me
The inevitability of time is slowly destroying me
Extend the night
Prolong the time of my slumber
So I can stay asleep
So I can remain in my state of unconsciousness
I wish to stay in this dream
I desire to prolong this imaginary world
Where I can have it all
Where all my desires and wants are fulfilled
Without having
Without the need for
To sacrifice a thing
To compromise or give up anything
Desperately
Urgently and with great need
Clinging to
Holding onto strongly
Memories
Remembrances of past experiences and emotions
Trying to recall
Struggling to remember
The feeling
The emotions that I experienced before
Of love
That came with mutual affection and passion

This is without a doubt one of the best songs I've heard in a long time, and I found it through spotify's, "Women of Metal" playlist. Keep up the good work, Sins in Vain!
