about

The oldest song on the album in terms of composition, this riff-driven rock song uses the metaphor of lines to represent barriers of perception drawn around the people we come into contact with.

lyrics

On the globe and in the sky,
Are they coming from your eye?
Lines.

Find them in an old disguise,
Names and tracks and family ties
Lines.

Why can’t I be with you,
Because the lines that we once drew,
Isn’t something wrong with this design?
We’ve got to step out of these lines!

What’s the color of your skin?
When does yours stop and hers begin?
Lines.

All the things that you’ve been through,
Here’s the box you fit into.
Lines!

Step back, Look and you will see,
How to set your bound heart free,
Ask yourself, what’s wrong with this design?
We’ve got to step out of these lines!

(Linemaker:)
Stop!
Don’t stand up.
You must walk the course.
Order, I’ll have order,
Need it be by force.
I’ll protect you; make no sound,
I’ll put up the walls around,
Surround that man!

(Solo)
