[Verse 1]
Sadness always finds an in
Sneaks its way past, infecting everything
And every chapter has an end
But this is one momentous sequel, don't you think?
[Pre-Chorus]
And the blackbirds, they fly
Like a frown on the skyline
[Chorus]
Right now, I feel I'm runnin' from the light
Engulfed in darkness, shielded from my eyes
One foot in, one out, I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I?
[Verse 2]
Guess I should take this on the chin
But I don't even know how all of this began
And we are made to mould and bend
How can I wish for nothing when it's still a sin?
[Chorus]
And right now, I feel I'm runnin' from the light
Engulfed in darkness, shielded from my eyes
One foot in, one out, I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I?
Tears never arrive, these ducts are dry
We are so blind waiting on the borderline
Waiting on the borderline
[Verse 3]
So I will pour another drink
And try to drown the pain with salt along the rim
And I'll shut off the things I think
'Cause nothing good will ever come from worrying
[Chorus]
Right now, I feel I'm runnin' from the light
Engulfed in darkness, shielded from my eyes
One foot in, one out, I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I?
Tears never arrive, these ducts are dry
We are so blind
This is an idiom that mean to face facts and accept unpleasant events bravely, without complaining.
I’m most likely wrong, but I believe what the artist is trying to say is how Christian and Buddhism religions wishing for nothing can be a sin. It’s not exactly the wish itself, but rather the outcome’s possibilities. The Christian world sees it as a you might turn from God, which makes you fall from religion. The Buddhism world sees just wishing in general can be a source of suffering.
