Iration - Borderlines Lyrics






You've got me breaking the borderlines
But I just can't stand being confined
And I can't stop thinking

Locked up and I don't know why
Captive and I'm hardly me
I bet you've never seen a world like this
A new reality
Just give me a piece of your mind
I heard the dreams last
Just need a little time

You've got me breaking the borderlines
But I just can't stand being confined
And I can't stop thinking
Woah, woah, why?
Woah, woah, why oh?
Woah, woah, why oh why?

You don't wanna see our kind round here
Miracle that we made it this far
It's a shame that you have us walking the path we tried so hard not to remember
Just give me some peace of mind
Can't let the dream pass
Can't stop me crossing the line

You've got me breaking the borderlines
But I just can't stand being confined
And I can't stop thinking
Woah, woah, why?
Woah, woah, why no?
Woah, woah, why no why?
Woah, woah, why?
Woah, woah, why no?
Woah, woah, why no why?

I just can't wait til I get out of here
No one like me still hanging around here whoa
Can't wait to get out of here
No I can't wait, no I can't wait no

You've got me breaking the borderlines
But I just can't stand being confined
And I can't stop thinking
Woah, woah, why?
Woah, woah, why no?
Woah, woah, why no why?

You've got me breaking the borderlines
But I just can't stand being confined
And I can't stop thinking
Woah, woah, why?
Woah, woah, why no?
Woah, woah, why no why?

Iration Borderlines Comments
  1. J.... D....

    Fuck Donald trump.

  2. N.... A....

    You guys killed it!! One love! At the end no one takes nothing!🤙🏽

  3. O.... W....

    The lyrics make me think about the borderlines of nations and how they are imaginary. When you look at the planet from outside of it. It has NO BORDERLINES! Always questions, and ask WHY?

    Go Iration!

    O.... W....

    Thanks for the vote of confidence. There's an interesting book on this subject called Imagined Communities by Benedict Anderson. Not a direct influence on the song but will get you thinking.

    O.... W....

    @Iration What influenced the song?

  4. K.... A....

    Love the band but they obviously don’t understand the meaning of borderlines...


    Not meant for breaking..

    K.... A....

    I beg to differ

  5. I.... ....

    Is it supposed to be the border between imperial beach and tijuana? Cover design...

  6. D.... D....

    LoVeeeeee Iration fave fave song💞🎶🎵🌊💗🎶🍃

  7. M.... B....

    Just got the new Iration CD in the mail today. I love this song and video. Love the band. Proud to add this to my Iration collection!

  8. R.... ....

    I appreciate that these guys took the time to stand for something important; Justice for the indigenous peoples of this land.
    Much Love

    R.... ....

    It's pretty crazy to think that we made this last year considering everything that's happening today... We took a lot of flack for this video from the trolls when we first released... Imagine if we shared it today? Thanks for taking the time to watch and appreciate the message.

    R.... ....

    No need to imagine, you would still get the same response from the same people. It's embarrassing at best to hear you guys call your fans, who have love and purchased your art/music for years trolls, that mind set will absolutely get you more acclaim. All you did was piss off a lot of Reggae Rock loving people, who by some miracle actually care about keeping their country safer. Whatever Iration, go live in the clouds on that island while shitting the bed with your new pop albums. "Twisted Up" was the only song worth listening to on that album, sad. See you guys for 10 bucks front row at the local county fair in 5 years.

  9. g.... S....

    some folks need to refrain from staining good music with negtivity & resentment...regardless of it's content, it can be more about awareness of the shit storm we live in <3 big love Iration x you can't please all the people all the time and the truth definitely hurts lol ;)

  10. P.... L....

    If you don’t get the lyrics and the meaning of this song then don’t listen to it. I love it! Much aloha to all of you.

  11. B.... R....

    Song is good but message is kinda like the millions of dirt poor already here with dreams dont matter. SAD!

  12. L.... B....

    Who cares if this isn't reggae, this song is AAAWESOMEEEEE <333333 Love it.

    L.... B....

    No, you're AAWESOMEEEE

    L.... B....

    OMG I LOVE YOU

  13. C.... R....

    🔥❤️👍🏼

  14. S.... N....

    People who are saying this isn't reggae and that's it's killing the vibe are missing the point. If you can embrace this type of music with the same open mindedness that it promotes, you can find deep meaning and use it as a tool to enhance your mind and your human experience. More love

  15. M.... ....

    one of their best songs musically and politically

  16. n.... l....

    There's not one song out there by iration that's a bad song every song just amazes me every time and makes me feel like I'm in some other beautiful place God Bless Iration you guys are truly amazing 💘 && the lead singer Micah is just so handsome I'd do anything to meet this band in person 😍

    n.... l....

    nini lopez Agreed! I just met the band and saw them perform live for the first time the other day,all extremely down to earth and friendly!

  17. J.... B....

    Nice that your writing something other than a love song, but this feels forced. Not a whole lot of emotion behind it. No doubt this was forced by some kind of leftist record label exec.

    J.... B....

    And it is sad really. But it is the base of the whole entertainment industry. Sell your soul for fortune and fame. You signed up for it now you have to do their bidding to fulfill your contractual obligations.

  18. p.... ....

    love iration, but this song sucks... video sucks worse

  19. T.... A....

    Where's the acoustic version?

  20. T.... R....

    Irations so great! One of my favs for sure

  21. C.... G....

    BUENA CANCION

  22. E.... R....

    Always will be a Irator.
    I Listened to the whole song instead of one line. The message is clear if your mind is open. All these boarders are just imaginary lines, we all come from the same Earth but somehow lost site of what's important, One Love.

    E.... R....

    Thank you.

    E.... R....

    I agree.

    E.... R....

    Yes we all come from the same Earth but the thing is there are people who are bringing crimes into here and coming here illegally. If we have open borders, there will be more crime here. We are just asking for more security that’s all.

  23. R.... P....

    people seem to disagree with the point ....I'm pretty sure Michael Jackson did some bad stuff but I still dig his music...no comparison really but people are entitled to thier political views....just compartmentalize and enjoy Irations bad ass sound...and think for yourself dont let a. political party tell.you what to think

  24. U.... M....

    big tune good video too

  25. D.... B....

    Sucks!!!!!! Build the wall and deport them all!!!👶🏽

  26. D.... B....

    Horrible! We need a border guys, wake up! These criminals just stoned a border patrol officer to death.

  27. H.... ....

    Senpai doesn't like Borders.

  28. H.... A....

    Great Song (Y)

  29. J.... W....

    Oh, a song about globalism and open borders. No thanks.

  30. L.... B....

    I thought this was a love song at first but...... PEACE LOVE ONENESS UNITY EMPATHY HARMONY.......❤💛💚💙💜

  31. D.... J....

    Love songs like this about fighting for each other and the greater good of the human race - community and cooperation over competition any day! Love you, Iration & fellow kind souls out there <3

  32. 4.... ....

    Iration getting political, sigh 😥

  33. J.... A....

    We made walls and borders last as long as they could. Empires, kingdoms, nations, and societies have or are crumbling away. The time is coming for the return of the King of kings. When the adversary is bound. The chosen inhabitants of Earth will live free of borders and nation's. All will know and serve the God of Heaven and Earth, as one people.

  34. R.... W....

    When are y’all coming back to the Wilmington or Jacksonville area?

    R.... W....

    We're playing Asheville and Greensboro NC in a couple weeks. Two nights in St. Pete and one in Pensacola as well. We'll be back in Wilmington/Jacksonville soon. Tour dates at irationmusic.com

  35. D.... F....

    You guys have made an enormous positively awesome contribution to reggae rock and music in general. However, as catchy the melody of this song, the message certainly is not. You will not find so many comments like this in any of your other videos, get that message. If this is your direction, I just have to say at least I have the rest of your earlier catalog to listen to.

    Sincerely, a fan whose wife family immigrated her legally and honestly.

    D.... F....

    I'm a second generation in America and I stand with you 100% here. I'm all for immigration, but you've gotta follow the law and do it properly just as my family and millions of others did.

    D.... F....

    Great comment. Well put.

  36. a.... m....

    All these ignorant people saying they are boycotting this band now saying they want to build a wall ask anyone from Germany how that worked out humans need to coincide not divide

    a.... m....

    I'm sorry; I'm a 2nd Generation American from GERMANY. If you honestly think this is *anything* like what happened in Germany when the Socialist party erected a wall to keep people INSIDE East Germany, then you're either 100% ignorant on world history, or just plain silly.

  37. M.... ....

    Wow. This is sincerely ridiculous. A literal quote is "can't wait to get out of here" then do it LEGALLY!
    If a Prisoner breaks out of Prison, should they be allowed to go free?! And Do Not misquote me as Mexico is a prison. Been there, legally, done that, legally.

    M.... ....

    Amen to this brother - I support immigration when its legal as I think Mexico, Central America as well as South America are home to some of the most beautiful souls on earth. Supporting illegal immigration is disgusting and a big F YOU to all those kind hardworking people who bothered to do the process legally. Can't believe Iration would make this kind of hurtful message.

  38. J.... P....

    Love this!!!!

  39. K.... E....

    Apparently, all of the bands I liked, just shit the bed in New albums...iration, soja...

    K.... E....

    Don't jump the gun just yet. We've got a bunch of unreleased tracks and are currently in the studio. Borderlines might be a little different direction than you are used to but we also released Fly With Me for our core fans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpMuRO_oDUc

    K.... E....

    Iration, I love your music and respect you guys but please do not support illegal immigration. I am friends to many people who have bothered to come into the United States legally and put so much effort into the process. It is unfair for others to just jump over and laugh at all those who went through the hard process. I have seen this firsthand.

  40. A.... B....

    Never disappoints ❤️💚💛

  41. A.... C....

    Man you guys need to make a visit to Indiana. We could use your irie vibes ! Going to have to plan a road trip otherwise.. love the music :)

    A.... C....

    Check our tour dates at irationmusic.com but I think Columbus probably closest this round

  42. T.... S....

    Very catchy song. I liked it until I seen that is basically a song championing illegal aliens coming to America and insulting everyone who ever came here the right and legal way. What a shame. Keep your politics out of music. #MAGA

    T.... S....

    Except music has always been influenced by various political issues in history. This is no different.

  43. R.... H....

    Goodbye Iration. There are many explanations, just none you want to listen to.

    R.... H....

    Ryan Herrera Nobody cares Ryan.

    R.... H....

    You won’t be missed

  44. A.... B....

    YESSSSSSS!

  45. K.... A....

    I'd prefer the other stuff. Hopefully this isn't the new direction for the album.

    K.... A....

    That's why we released Fly With Me first :) We've got a little something for everyone

  46. R.... ....

    WOOOOW!!!!! AWESOME VIDEO!!!! HOLLY SHIT!!!

  47. D.... K....

    Where's da roots at?

  48. b.... ....

    Is it piece of mind or peace of mind?

    b.... ....

    Verse 1 is "piece of your mind"
    Verse 2 is "peace of mind"

    Realizing on-screen lyric wrong on second verse

  49. J.... H....

    This video is amazing. Truly sums up such a big problem that's happening. Thank you for bringing awareness to this topic❤️✌️

  50. M.... O....

    Man such a shame I've listened to you guys for ever and always liked your music but now I have to boycott your crap too.

    M.... O....

    No one will be missing you

    M.... O....

    See and saying shit like that is why we won't. Have a nice life homophobe, I'll be chilling to some Iration.

    M.... O....

    Dylan Cutler Iration will miss the many fans now boycotting their music. Lmao, you libs keep your chin in the air.

    M.... O....

    Just keep listening and don't buy there music

    M.... O....

    Love Iration.....but this feels very trendy.....js

  51. k.... ....

    Damm , this is GOOD, great song , great message, can't wait to see you guys live

  52. W.... L....

    wa wa oh wa wa why? #alterntive

  53. I.... ....

    This is so damn good! Keep it up!

  54. C.... C....

    not really the reggae vibe i was hoping for..

  55. D.... ....

    I am loving the new song.👍👍👍 Also Its good to see that you are getting social-political with your music. It is amazing how so many artists don't speak up for what they believe in.

  56. J.... ....

    Such a strong message in this song time are little crazy we need more love and respect for every person in this world 🌎✌

  57. L.... D....

    Not feeling this. Killing the vibe.

    L.... D....

    Len D ironic

  58. A.... ....

    There is nothing wrong with doing something new. This is amazing. I love Iration & appreciate them for all the hard work they put into their music <3 Great lyrics btw.

  59. l.... ....

    Love it!

  60. J.... L....

    i love it already.

  61. L.... M....

    Fly with me, now Borderlines. You guys are straight up killing it! I literally cannot stop listening to this song and as teacher in Monterey, this song hits home so true and for so many reasons.
    Love for Iration for life!

  62. T.... A....

    Holy cow. This was amazing, I didn't think Micah's voice could improve because it was already stellar. But here's proof that there's another level!

  63. B.... ....

    I think it's good to stick to your roots but bands are supposed to evolve and I'm really digging this style

  64. R.... M....

    Come to Santiago mates !

  65. S.... K....

    Catchy but not what I picture when I think of iration. Also there is a definite agenda to this song.

  66. s.... R....

    Hmm...more poppy wasn't expecting this. Not reggae but. I LIKE IT! 😃😃😃

    s.... R....

    alternative

  67. I.... G....

    Thanks for this song, but it isn't reggae...

    I.... G....

    No it's not; "Borderlines" is a song that crosses into new territory both stylistically and subject-wise.

    I.... G....

    Ivan Galan Thanks Cpt. Obvious. You can't hate it though. So why bother making the point?

    I.... G....

    Listen 3 times and you'll suddenly love it. It takes a bit to get used to but now i love this song

    I.... G....

    It is Iration tho. It might be one of my favs !😊

  68. D.... G....

    Wow.... Just wow

  69. R.... P....

    Eles são foda!!!!! Uma das melhores bandas.!!!!!

  70. :.... C....

    For a band that sympathizes such socio-political status quotas, I wonder if they ever consider who theyre talking about when they promote so ignorantly and naively empathetic towards a mass wave of people who commit crime as a means to make success. There is no moral or ethical exception for breaking laws, screwing other immigrants over, and defying culture to a nation that feeds and clothes you. Disgusting. If these fucking people are so god damn proud of being Mexican or Central American or this or that, then they should at the very least come here legally, not leeching off the hard working tax payer dime, and ASSIMILATE PEACEFULLY TO THE HOST NATIONS CULTURE. The media everywhere guilting its citizenship to suck up to foreign criminals who culturally invade and destroy our lives for some do not deserve appraisal or appeasement in the slightest!

    :.... C....

    I honestly cant believe your perception of this! I'm in awe. To defend a criminal act of (illegally breaking into a country) "because you can and there isn't a wall to stop you" is by no means morally or ethically "acceptable" nor does that mean that anyone like myself (millennials who see past the media lies and progressive corruption and censorship of free speech) should be constituted as "victimized!" lmao.

    The whole "victimhood" crap and games is prompted and advocated by millions of liberal sheep who fall for or benefit the leftist media schemes and political crap. I'm actually someone who wants to centralize society and look past the bipartisan (not going anywhere) politi-shit that liberals are all hung up on. You know, the vagina hat movement, the BLM divisiveness that Obama helped to procure which ultimately gave rise to the whole Charlottesville disaster, as well as ANTIFA violence in all the protest.

    Speak for yourself, as you condemn those who want what's best for our country's security and well being, and condemn those who do not want to erase history to make our pussies feel better for a minute. If this country is so damn terrible to so many of you, walk right out and don't come back. As opposed to trying to mutilate and change a nation from within, seek change to actually advance it rather than pushing for faulty and quite frankly immature deluded ideas of cultural Marxism and diversity schemes that endanger the heritage of a nation's founding.

    Its out turn to have a chance and at "making change" for 4 years as patriots and nationalists (which doesn't automatically make someone "racist" as badly as you might want to scream). We suffered through 8 years of your crap. Those who voted in favor of Trump desire none other than keeping it FAIR AND SQUARE.

    :.... C....

    Prybar 556.762 Fucking Preach!

    :.... C....

    If you voted for trump you either are racist, or think that racism isn't a big enough deal breaker that it matters. By the way, not liberal or conservative. You can go ahead and jump through all the hoops you want to help yourself sleep at night buddy.

    :.... C....

    Its the morality for being for one's country and the laws of its land. By your citizen right which is ultimately up to you and however many foolish people don't truly appreciate its hard earned and fought for sacrifice to get and be where we are. (LEGALLY). Rewarding criminals for humanitarian sympathetic reasons are entirely emotionally based with the exception of corrupt intentions to support exploitation of cheap labor. It makes sense that we allow a few illegals here and there (although morally repugnant) to work the fields as replacement slave labor (essentially) in our agricultural economy. But that still doesn't replace the fact that it is criminal. Especially when you consider than many of them take an extent beyond illegal residency, but criminal enterprises even worse! if racism is what you wanna call it (ooooo nooo!!!!) so be it. Don't argue that it isn't racist to assume your above all that because you're a minority or a liberal or non politically partisan individual. Its a pathetic ideal that's indirectly disingenuous and it fools many but not all! The whole "youre racist" card is loosing its value and seriousness. Keep doing it! lol

    :.... C....

    not their best for sure

  71. T.... N....

    Iration, you always amaze me. Love it. Love everything you guys do for us.

  72. M.... B....

    I dig it....people who listen to reggae need to stop asking "but this aint reggae" the lyrics support everything reggae music stands for

    M.... B....

    Reggae supports love and respect, not crime. Immigration is wonderful, but illegal immigration is dangerous and unfair to all those who go through the process to get in legally! Iration is still a bomb ass band but they need to wake up to this reality.

    M.... B....

    song isn't even about immigration

    M.... B....

    Ive been to 4 of there shows and I would say they were all very reggae the last one with the dirty heads was amazing

    M.... B....

    I heard dirty heads do more rap now is that true?

    M.... B....

    Terrible logic, so if I were to put death metal lyrics on a Scott Storch beat and have Katie Perry sing it, is it death metal?

  73. R.... F....

    You guys never fail to amaze! Everything you guys do is straight fire! Song is on repeat!

  74. B.... ....

    Another banger. Please keep making music, nothing like putting on an Iration album and cruising down to Hawaii Kai.

    B.... ....

    Banger? more like POP

  75. S.... r....

    Admire the confidence in your lyrics that are so in tune with present day issues. This one is definitely different but nonetheless you guys are keepin that quality while taking risks. Glad I'm a fan cuz these visuals are stunning!

  76. d.... ....

    LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE IT!!!!!! I love you guys so much! Hopefully, I'll be able to see you guys when you come to GA. I'm the mom of the "tiger" little girl from the Variety Playhouse in little 5 points in GA. She loves you guys so much for letting her come on stage. She'll never forget that. You guys are awesome

  77. P.... ....

    Can't wait to see you guys at the #Intergalatic17 Tour with Through the Roots and Katastro!!

  78. S.... S....

    LOVE IT!! ❤💛💚

  79. O.... C....

    Y'all never cease to amaze me.

  80. B.... ....

    I love it. Even though it doesn't sound much like reggae, still a great song.

  81. N.... G....

    Idk if I'm feeling it. I love all your music, this is just missing that reggae sound. I do appreciate the new music tho!

    N.... G....

    All good! That's why we released "Fly With Me" for the fans. Thanks for the support :)

  82. P.... E....

    Not really feeling this. Too much of a pop feel and not enough reggae roots.

    P.... E....

    They never declared their self as Reggae. More of an island feel to them.

    P.... E....

    Loving this! Especially growing up on a border city where the rest of the nation doesn't know what is actually happening.

    P.... E....

    Cole Cole I hear ya. Just not their best work in my opinion

  83. L.... H....

    Tijuana!!!

  84. R.... R....

    I'm diggin the new direction you are going into here. Social-Political songs is what's needed in this new world of division and hostility towards people of different colors, beliefs, sexual orientations. We'll never be unified until we stop demonizing each other.

    R.... R....

    Nano and medicine for the people.

    R.... R....

    Nahko *

    R.... R....

    Yes, and the demonization is coming from many angles. Immigration is not racism, get that through your thick skulls. Look at mexicos immigration policies and get back to me.

    R.... R....

    Rudy Ramirez Jr this gotta be my favorite song

    R.... R....

    Lee Mauk Wake Up Call and Change the System are really good songs

  85. Y.... ....

    Yes new Iration!!!!

  86. K.... H....

    Love it ❤️ great job guys on giving a new perspective on what's going on in the rest of the world.
