Cover art for Borderline lyrics by Camper Van Beethoven

This is a great song, probably my favorite from them. Though their lyrics can be a bit cyptic, I think this song is clearly about a relationship that is shallow and not long-lasting. Look at the line "On the borderline everything is empty, even you and I. Cause we're moving from east to west, across the grey. It's meaningless." He's saying that they are just gliding along and it is meaningless and direction-less.

This has a great rolling rhythm to it and has some really catchy parts. Excellent song with distantly sad undertones.
