Meaning of Borderline lyrics by Tame Impala

December 15, 2022

Borderline is a song about reflecting on and struggling with indecision and insecurity in a relationship. The lyrics describe someone who has pushed things a bit too far and wonders if it's safe to stay in a relationship, or if it's a danger sign to proceed. The refrain of the song emphasizes this questioning, asking "Will I be known and loved? / Is there one that I trust? / Starting to sober up / Has it been long enough?" The chorus emphasizes the idea of being on a precarious border between pain and rapture, never quite knowing which will be the outcome. Ultimately, though, the song finds a way to remain hopeful and have faith in the relationship, singing "Any closer? Close enough / Shout out to what is done / R.I.P., here comes the sun (Comes the sun)". Despite the struggle and uncertainty, the song ends on a positive note and celebrates the strength of the relationship.
