Border Lord
Journey to the Border Lord: Unveiling Life's Crossroads
Lyrics
Darkness had us covered when we split from Minnesota
Starting the journey in darkness after leaving Minnesota.
In the morning, in the rain
Describing the morning and rain during the departure.
Like his eyes feeling and the street was slick and shiny as a snake
Depicting the wet and shiny streets resembling a snake.
Each of us was humming to a half forgotten nickel hanging over
Each person is preoccupied with a memory represented by a nickel.
In the brain
A reference to mental processes related to the brain.
Time and time been thinking of the time we never had the time to take
Reflecting on missed opportunities and time constraints.
Losing to the rising cost of living, I am loving hard
Expressing struggles with the increasing cost of living.
Then leaving every yesterday behind ya
Choosing to leave the past behind and move forward.
Burning every bridge you cross is burning down before you're off
Highlighting the destructive nature of burning bridges.
Been running like the devil just in time
Intense pursuit, possibly implying a reckless lifestyle.
Breaking any ties before they bind you
Preventing any emotional attachments before they become strong.
Taking any comfort you can find
Seeking solace wherever available.
Running like you're running out of time
Living with a sense of urgency and impending scarcity of time.
Take it all, take it easy
Encouragement to seize opportunities and enjoy life.
'Til it's over
Persisting until the end, suggesting determination.
Understanding, when you're heading for the Border Lord you're bound to cross that line
Acknowledging the inevitable crossing of boundaries on the path to the Border Lord.
Good looking women every time you stumble
Attractive distractions encountered along the way.
Waiting there to catch you when you fall, when you fall
Support available when facing challenges.
Get into you bad enough to let 'em keep you backing up
Alluding to succumbing to temptations.
'Til just before your back's against the wall
Getting cornered but not fully trapped.
Breaking any ties before they find you
Avoiding emotional entanglements before they become problematic.
Taking any comfort you can find
Finding comfort in any available source.
Running like you're running out of time
Continuing to live urgently, as if time is running out.
Take it all, take it easy
Encouraging taking everything and taking it easy until the end.
'Til it's over
Persisting until the end, similar to line 16.
Understanding, when you're heading for the Border Lord you're bound to cross that line
Reiterating the inevitability of crossing boundaries on the way to the Border Lord.
Oh
Expressing a feeling or realization, possibly a sigh or acknowledgment.
Across the line
Reiterating the crossing of a line.
Across the line
Repetition of crossing a line, emphasizing the theme.
Across that line
Further emphasis on crossing boundaries.
Oh, yeah
Expressing agreement or affirmation with the preceding lines.
