Lyrics
It's always raining over the border
Refers to a perpetual state of tension or conflict at the border.
There's been a plane crash out there
Reports an incident, possibly tragic, occurring beyond the border.
In the wheatfields they're picking up the pieces
Describes the aftermath in the fields where the wreckage is being collected.
We could go and look and stare
Suggests an option to witness the aftermath but also implies a sense of detachment.
How many friends have we over there?
Rhetorical question emphasizing the numerous connections or friendships at the border.
The border guards fight unconvincingly
Observation of ineffective or insincere efforts by border guards.
Whatever we do it seems things are arranged
Expresses a feeling of helplessness, as if external forces control situations.
We always have to feed the enemy
Highlights the recurring theme of having to support or deal with adversaries.
You could dance for me
Repetition of a suggestion to dance, possibly a metaphor for coping with difficulties.
And punch me through
-You could dance for me
-And punch me through
-You could dance for me
-And punch me through
-You could dance for me
-And punch me through
-We watched them trash the last camera
Observation of a destructive act on the last remaining camera.
Glued to all our TV's
Depicts a widespread impact as everyone is glued to their TVs.
The actors on the replay
Describes attempts to connect or communicate despite challenges.
Trying again to touch you and me
-But they always seem to know
Suggests a sense of being trapped or cornered, with no freedom to move or doubt.
Exactly what they're talking about
-They must've got you in a corner
-You've got no room to move
-You've got no room for doubt
-That's exactly what they're talking about
-They must've got you in a corner
-No room to move
-No room for doubt
Reiterates the lack of space for uncertainty or hesitation.
