Borderline

Collecting dust & scars, I'm running to the center of your heart. As fast as I can. To the middle of nowhere. As you gasp for air with & without me. Where you rust beautifully, collecting dust & scars

Florrie - Borderline (Official Video)

I was right, there's only one of you
You dance through life to your own tune
You're beautiful and complicated too
A fancy room with a bad view

And I know that you know it's not easy
Fighting battles that live in your mind
But you're close to the edge, I can feel it
Every time that we say good night

You hide your feelings so I won't cry
But I'll keep waiting at the borderline
And when you're ready to change your mind
Then I'll be waiting at the borderline

You live your life like a firework
You soar right up 'til you're fit to burst
And here I am standing on the ground
My hands held high, I won't let you down

And I know that you know it's not easy
Fighting battles that live in your mind
But you're close to the edge, I can feel it
Every time that we say good night

You hide your feelings so I won't cry
But I'll keep waiting at the borderline
And when you're ready to change your mind
Then I'll be waiting at the borderline

In my head, in your head, it's a little bit mixed up
In my head it's a little bit quiet
Sometimes it's a little bit harder to fight

You hide your feelings so I won't cry
But I'll keep waiting at the borderline
And when you're ready to change your mind
Then I'll be waiting at the borderline

Meaning of Borderline

December 17, 2022

The song "Borderline" is about being patient and waiting for someone to come to terms with their feelings and make an emotional shift. It speaks to the sentiment of knowing that a person is not in a good place, but being willing to stay by their side, no matter how long it takes, in hopes that they may eventually open up and be willing to accept help. In the lyrics, "You hide your feelings so I won’t cry/But I'll keep waiting at the borderline" emphasizes that while the person is staying quiet and not expressing their pain, the narrator is willing to wait at the emotional border until they are ready to talk.
