Borders and Shading Lyrics

Cover art for Borders and Shading lyrics by In Flames

Hmm, what kind of annoys me is that he actually says... "You take a knife and carve it in"

Yet the lyrics say... "Take a knife and carve it in"

If you include the "you" it's more of a positive song. If you read it the way it is written in the lyrics, it seems as if he's telling him to take a knife and carve it in. But he certainly says "you". So I think he's actually saying the guy he's talking about takes a knife and carves it into his skin, rather than him telling this person to do so. Just listen, he definitely says "you".

but the singer also say's: 'every one has a tragedy, I want you to wear yours in pain/vain (dunno the alst word) '
