Borders
Embracing the Finite: Exploring Boundaries in "Borders" by Knife Pleats
Lyrics
You are not infinite
You do not possess endless or limitless qualities.
No you are not infinite
Reiteration that you lack infinity, emphasizing limitations.
You begin and you end
Your existence has a definite start and finish.
Your borders can bend and bend
Your boundaries can be flexible and adaptable.
Look to the end in sight
Directing attention towards a foreseeable conclusion or outcome.
There's always an end in sight
There is always a clear endpoint or goal in sight.
Taking up space
Occupying physical or metaphorical space.
Is taking up too much time in this place
Using too much time in this space is considered burdensome.
In between
In the intermediate state or location.
Hiding out and you're need to be seen
Remaining concealed while having a desire to be noticed.
And in the way
Blocking the path or hindering progress.
Of the words you've been wanting to say
Obstructing the expression of thoughts or feelings.
Something invisible
Something intangible or unseen is present.
Has been hanging around
An invisible presence has lingered around.
But don't be so quick to kick it down
Caution against hastily dismissing or rejecting it.
You are not infinite
Reiteration that you lack infinite qualities.
No you are not infinite
Emphasizing the absence of infinite characteristics.
You begin and you end
Your existence has a definite start and finish (repeated).
Your borders can bend and bend
Highlighting the flexibility and adaptability of your boundaries (repeated).
