In an interview for PressPLAY, she said “Borderline” is about “smashing the patriarchy.”
[Verse 1]
The boys of the empire
They set my head on fire
Pull the plug sire
I’ll spit fire
[Verse 2]
Gents of the empire
Strangle my desire
Pull the plug sire
And I’ll spit fire
[Chorus]
I'm borderline happy, and I'm borderline sad
I'm borderline good and I'm borderline bad
And I can't get rid of this tingling fear
You'd sort me out if my head gets clear
I live my life in shackles, but I'm borderline free
I used to be blind and I still can't see
And I won't get around to a change of mind
As long as nobody breaks my stride
[Verse 3]
Tricks of the empire
Make happy kids aim higher
Higher up they wet fire
Fools of the empire
[Verse 4]
I went to school in the empire
Learnt the rules from a brat sire
I be a fool of the empire
‘Til I break loose spread fire
Burn it down
[Chorus]
I'm borderline happy, and I'm borderline sad
I'm borderline good and I'm borderline bad
And I can't get rid of this tingling fear
You'd sort me out if my head gets clear
I live my life in shackles, but I'm borderline free
I used to be blind and I still can't see
And I won't get around to a change of mind
As long as nobody breaks my stride
[Chorus]
I'm borderline happy, and I'm borderline sad
I'm borderline good and I'm borderline bad
And I can't get rid of this tingling fear
You'd sort me out if my head gets clear
I live my life in shackles, but I'm borderline free
I used to be blind and I still can't see
And I won't get around to a change of mind
As long as nobody breaks my stride
