borderland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’d spell it out as if I can
No common ground, no master plan
You think it’s me – I think it’s you
So what is there left for us to do?
The way ahead’s no open door
You think it’s me – I think it’s you
So what is there left for us to do?
The only way to see it – with both eyes closed
As if I’d known it all before
So all I know is one and one
No other way for us to run
You think it’s me – I think it’s you
So what is there left for us to do?
You think it’s me – I think it’s you
So what is there left for us to do?
The lyrics of "Return" by Borderland depict a feeling of conflict and a lack of understanding between two individuals. The lines "I'd spell it out as if I can, no common ground, no master plan" suggest an attempt to communicate and make sense of the situation, but a realization that there is no shared perspective or overarching solution.
The repeated lines "You think it's me - I think it's you, so what is there left for us to do?" highlight the frustration and confusion each person feels towards the other. It reflects a sense of being stuck in a cycle of blame and misunderstanding, with no clear resolution in sight. The phrase "The way ahead's no open door" implies that there are no easy solutions or straightforward paths to move forward.
The line "The only way to see it - with both eyes closed, as if I'd known it all before" suggests that perhaps closing off one's own perspective and preconceptions could potentially lead to some clarity or understanding. However, the repetition of "one and one, no other way for us to run" reinforces the idea that there is no escape or avoidance of the situation, and the only option is to confront it directly.
Overall, "Return" conveys the frustrations and complexities that can arise in relationships or conflicts when two individuals have differing viewpoints and are unable to find common ground.

I'd spell it out as if I can
I would communicate it clearly and explicitly, if only I could
No common ground, no master plan
There is no shared understanding or guiding strategy
You think it’s me – I think it’s you
You believe the problem lies with me, while I believe it lies with you
So what is there left for us to do?
What options or actions remain for us to take?
It seems we've been this way before
It appears that we have encountered this situation previously
The way ahead's no open door
The path forward is not an easy or straightforward one
The only way to see it – with both eyes closed
The only perspective that reveals the truth is by shutting off both literal and metaphorical sight
As if I'd known it all before
As if I had already anticipated and understood everything about it
So all I know is one and one
All I am certain of is the existence of two separate entities
No other way for us to run
There is no alternative course of action for us to escape or avoid the issue
You think it’s me – I think it’s you
You believe the problem lies with me, while I believe it lies with you
So what is there left for us to do?
What options or actions remain for us to take?
You think it’s me – I think it’s you
You believe the problem lies with me, while I believe it lies with you
So what is there left for us to do?
What options or actions remain for us to take?

“A show this successful and good for Netflix will not just end like that” idk man, they’re pretty good at canceling shows

Manuel Anastacio
@RemGamesnow a thing i once heard of a version of cards where existed the star suit do you think that may could BE used?

I really hope there is another season, whether or not they follow the retry manga. Netflix could make their own version in season 3 just like they’re doing for sweet home. Or they could follow the retry manga.

Knowing Netflix is will probably suck
Mugsi
Netflix adaptation of Sweet Home was no where near on par with the original medium
Fuzzy Gecko
Id be happy ether way. It had such a good ending with just enough left unexplained to leave you talking. But its final enough that it can end here.
itchybarn
Really great to see the theories still coming!
