Dividing Line
Witness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mine is a double the spirit of the age
Money for old rope, the coin spinning round
Your time is up, your time is down
I could read a book, I could watch a film
I could spend a day perfectly still
A solitary ring on a link in a chain
I want it, I want it all the same
But I'm learning on the way
I wanna remember all the colours and the sounds and the shades
But I'm learning on the way
There's someone here to freeze, it couldn't be
A lot of people tease that we were free
I fell off my chair, I flew into the air
But I didn't land, didn't land nowhere
I want it, I want it all the same
But I'll learn it on the way
I wanna remember all the colours and the sounds and the shades
But I'll learn it on the way
I don't care what they were doing before
I don't care what, they could do it again, again
I don't even care what they are doing here right now
But I'll learn it on the way
And the margin's so wide there's a line down the middle
Straight down the middle a dividing line
Never, never, never getting anything together
Never getting anything together one time
I want it, I want it all the same
But I'll learn it on the way
I wanna remember all the colours and the sounds and the shades
But I'll learn it on the way
learning on the way
The lyrics to Witness's song "Dividing Line" express the internal struggle between individuality and conformity in modern society. The first verse highlights the two extremes of this struggle - being a "party animal" or a "bird in a cage." The singer acknowledges that society values conformity and that it can be easy to get caught up in the monotony of life ("money for old rope"). However, the singer also recognizes that they are not like everyone else - they may look similar, but they are not "all tame."
The second verse suggests that the singer is trying to find a sense of balance in their life. They acknowledge that they can find enjoyment in various activities, from reading a book to sitting still. There is a sense of detachment from the world around them, as they describe themselves as a "solitary ring on a link in a chain." But despite this detachment, they still have a desire to experience everything fully and remember every detail, even though they are still "learning on the way."
The chorus reiterates the singer's desire to experience everything fully and remember all the colors and sounds of life. They acknowledge that they may not have it all figured out yet but that they are still trying to find their place in the world. The bridge introduces a sense of chaos - the singer falls off their chair and is propelled into the air, but they don't land anywhere. This could be interpreted as an allegory for the uncertainty and unpredictability of life.
Line by Line Meaning
Party animal or a bird in a cage
You can either choose to live freely and wildly, or be confined and controlled by circumstances beyond your control
Mine is a double the spirit of the age
My personality is a combination of the current cultural norms and my own unique traits
Money for old rope, the coin spinning round
People can easily make money without much effort or originality, and the cycle of wealth just keeps going round and round
Your time is up, your time is down
Life has its ups and downs, and no good or bad time lasts forever
I could read a book, I could watch a film
There are endless ways to entertain oneself and pass the time
I could spend a day perfectly still
Sometimes, doing nothing at all can be just as rewarding as doing something
A solitary ring on a link in a chain
Even though we might look and act similar to others in our society, we still have unique characteristics that set us apart and give us our own identity
We could look alike but we're not all tame
Just because we might fit with societal norms and appear homogenous to an outsider, it doesn't mean we are all repressed or held back by those norms
I want it, I want it all the same
Despite our differences, we all have desires and aspirations that drive us towards our own goals
But I'm learning on the way
However, we don't necessarily know exactly how to achieve those goals and must learn through experience
There's someone here to freeze, it couldn't be
There are some people who are unable to take action and make decisions, even when faced with challenges
A lot of people tease that we were free
Many people might praise the freedom of our society, but there are still oppressive structures and limitations that prevent us from truly being free
I fell off my chair, I flew into the air
Life is full of surprises and unexpected events that can throw us off balance and send us reeling
But I didn't land, didn't land nowhere
Even though we might feel lost or out of control, we have the power to regain our footing and keep moving forward
I don't care what they were doing before
It doesn't matter what people have done in the past, only what they will do next
I don't care what, they could do it again, again
People have the ability to repeat past actions and behaviors, which can either be positive or negative depending on the situation
I don't even care what they are doing here right now
Our focus should not be on what others are doing in the present moment, but on our own actions and choices
And the margin's so wide there's a line down the middle
The divide between different groups or individuals in society can be so great that it creates a clear line of separation
Straight down the middle a dividing line
This line can often stretch straight down the middle, with little room for overlap or compromise
Never, never, never getting anything together
If we can't find ways to work together and overcome our differences, we will never achieve anything substantial or make meaningful progress
Never getting anything together one time
This lack of unity and cooperation can be an ongoing problem that plagues us repeatedly

I worked with a guy who was a top ranking in that Church... and he was such a great guy, knew more about the Bible than I did. Since then I was saved and always wonder “ how in the world could I teach him if I knew then what I know now?”. He was life long in it, good guy, smart and just could blow my mind on what he knew. I always pray for him, if he’s still here, I want him to get saved. Since I have met many in this are and use his name to get into the door on talking to them but, doubt I have planted a seed... thanks for this video. Love ya brother, pray we reach all we can for God! ❤️🙏😎

Awesome!

Heads exploded all across Christendom when the new world translation ,entirely in keeping with Greek grammar,inserted the indefinite article at John1:1c. There were even false claims that it was the only translation to render the verse thus. Jesus is not a God insisted opponents. Well here is my question. If Jesus is not a God,how can he be JEHOVAH,whom the bible plainly declares to be a God.
Deuteronomy4:24ASV"or Jehovah thy God is a devouring fire, a jealous God"

Would be great if those publications weren’t spoken so quickly so people could write down the references to look up later 🤷🏻♀️. Any chance of someone reading this being able to pin them in the comments and letting me know, please?

@Klara G haha solid copy. Shame on us that you had to wait 10 months for a response!
Klara G
@Pasha Hillyard thank you. I couldn’t understand what he was saying. To mess about with the playback isn’t always useful or possible for some. So information such as this helps those who can’t do what individuals as yourself can. ☺️

Aservantof JEHOVAH
Psalms83:18ASV"18That they may know that thou alone, whose name is JEHOVAH, Art the MOST HIGH over all the earth." Note please there is but one named JEHOVAH. Note also that this one is the MOST HIGH. Thus if ones God is associated with multiple co'equals (e.g the Trinitarian Jesus). He is not the Lord JEHOVAH.

@Zachary White Well I was never taught and do not believe that so I guess I'm not in bondage.

@Aservantof JEHOVAH you should get a real Bible not the new world translation. These people have messed with your head
