I'm on the line
I'm on the line
Once I clean my mirror
I'm a be feeling fine
Trying to get there is
All that's on my mind
When I'm on the line

Even though I run my race
With a smile on my face
It ain't easy, naw it ain't easy
Feel like the life of the party
But its all in your mind
On the line

I'm on the line
I'm on the line
Once I clean my mirror
I'm a be felling fine
Even when you falling
Just pretend your flying
When ya on the line

I'm with everybody but I'm still alone
Just look down that's my line your standing on
Lets keep it friendly and well be just fine
But don't cross that line

    bjwedel, what the hell are you talking about. the title of the song 'Online' is only used to mask the blatantly obvious reference to cocaine.

    "Once I clean my mirror I'm a be feeling fine" is a reference to users snorting up coke off of mirrors (watch a movie like blow or scar face, you'll understand). When he gets his fix he's happy.

    The next lines seem to reference how hard life. He's using the drug to temporarily escape the rat "race."

    He also realizes that when he's on the drug he feels superhuman or better than he was when he's not on the drug but that it's not really true. The drug has affected his mind and his perceptions. (Feel like the life of the party/But it's all in your mind/ On the line)

    He again speaks about how cocaine can alter your perceptions of yourself by making you seem like you have no troubles. (Even when you're falling/Just pretend you're flying)

    The last lines of the song capture the feelings of a user who is coming down and realizing his surroundings. It seems to say that even though he may be with a bunch of people (who are all doing cocaine) there is this disconnection between them and even a hostility. (Don't cross that line) ie. Do your line but you better not touch mine.
