You guys. This is such a phenomenal song. I didn't even understand the subject matter until I watched the music video. As an interpreter and English teacher, this song hits me so hard, working right next to and serving the immigrant community. You guys really do everything the best way. Much love. I've been a huge fan of yours since I learned about you guys in 2020. Larga vida a todos ustedes y que tengan mucho éxito en el adelante. ❤
Reggae supports love and respect, not crime. Immigration is wonderful, but illegal immigration is dangerous and unfair to all those who go through the process to get in legally! Iration is still a bomb ass band but they need to wake up to this reality.
The lyrics make me think about the borderlines of nations and how they are imaginary. When you look at the planet from outside of it. It has NO BORDERLINES! Always questions, and ask WHY? Go Iration!
Thanks for the vote of confidence. There's an interesting book on this subject called Imagined Communities by Benedict Anderson. Not a direct influence on the song but will get you thinking.
It's pretty crazy to think that we made this last year considering everything that's happening today... We took a lot of flack for this video from the trolls when we first released... Imagine if we shared it today? Thanks for taking the time to watch and appreciate the message.
No need to imagine, you would still get the same response from the same people. It's embarrassing at best to hear you guys call your fans, who have love and purchased your art/music for years trolls, that mind set will absolutely get you more acclaim. All you did was piss off a lot of Reggae Rock loving people, who by some miracle actually care about keeping their country safer. Whatever Iration, go live in the clouds on that island while shitting the bed with your new pop albums. "Twisted Up" was the only song worth listening to on that album, sad. See you guys for 10 bucks front row at the local county fair in 5 years.
There's not one song out there by iration that's a bad song every song just amazes me every time and makes me feel like I'm in some other beautiful place God Bless Iration you guys are truly amazing 💘 && the lead singer Micah is just so handsome I'd do anything to meet this band in person 😍
Always will be a Irator. I Listened to the whole song instead of one line. The message is clear if your mind is open. All these boarders are just imaginary lines, we all come from the same Earth but somehow lost site of what's important, One Love.
Yes we all come from the same Earth but the thing is there are people who are bringing crimes into here and coming here illegally. If we have open borders, there will be more crime here. We are just asking for more security that’s all.
Love songs like this about fighting for each other and the greater good of the human race - community and cooperation over competition any day! Love you, Iration & fellow kind souls out there
I am loving the new song.👍👍👍 Also Its good to see that you are getting social-political with your music. It is amazing how so many artists don't speak up for what they believe in.
We're playing Asheville and Greensboro NC in a couple weeks. Two nights in St. Pete and one in Pensacola as well. We'll be back in Wilmington/Jacksonville soon. Tour dates at irationmusic.com
Admire the confidence in your lyrics that are so in tune with present day issues. This one is definitely different but nonetheless you guys are keepin that quality while taking risks. Glad I'm a fan cuz these visuals are stunning!
People who are saying this isn't reggae and that's it's killing the vibe are missing the point. If you can embrace this type of music with the same open mindedness that it promotes, you can find deep meaning and use it as a tool to enhance your mind and your human experience. More love
We made walls and borders last as long as they could. Empires, kingdoms, nations, and societies have or are crumbling away. The time is coming for the return of the King of kings. When the adversary is bound. The chosen inhabitants of Earth will live free of borders and nation's. All will know and serve the God of Heaven and Earth, as one people.
You guys have made an enormous positively awesome contribution to reggae rock and music in general. However, as catchy the melody of this song, the message certainly is not. You will not find so many comments like this in any of your other videos, get that message. If this is your direction, I just have to say at least I have the rest of your earlier catalog to listen to. Sincerely, a fan whose wife family immigrated her legally and honestly.
I'm a second generation in America and I stand with you 100% here. I'm all for immigration, but you've gotta follow the law and do it properly just as my family and millions of others did.
some folks need to refrain from staining good music with negtivity & resentment...regardless of it's content, it can be more about awareness of the shit storm we live in
LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE IT!!!!!! I love you guys so much! Hopefully, I'll be able to see you guys when you come to GA. I'm the mom of the "tiger" little girl from the Variety Playhouse in little 5 points in GA. She loves you guys so much for letting her come on stage. She'll never forget that. You guys are awesome
people seem to disagree with the point ....I'm pretty sure Michael Jackson did some bad stuff but I still dig his music...no comparison really but people are entitled to thier political views....just compartmentalize and enjoy Irations bad ass sound...and think for yourself dont let a. political party tell.you what to think
I'm diggin the new direction you are going into here. Social-Political songs is what's needed in this new world of division and hostility towards people of different colors, beliefs, sexual orientations. We'll never be unified until we stop demonizing each other.
Yes, and the demonization is coming from many angles. Immigration is not racism, get that through your thick skulls. Look at mexicos immigration policies and get back to me.
Don't jump the gun just yet. We've got a bunch of unreleased tracks and are currently in the studio. Borderlines might be a little different direction than you are used to but we also released Fly With Me for our core fans ruclips.net/video/DpMuRO_oDUc/видео.html
Iration, I love your music and respect you guys but please do not support illegal immigration. I am friends to many people who have bothered to come into the United States legally and put so much effort into the process. It is unfair for others to just jump over and laugh at all those who went through the hard process. I have seen this firsthand.
All these ignorant people saying they are boycotting this band now saying they want to build a wall ask anyone from Germany how that worked out humans need to coincide not divide
I'm sorry; I'm a 2nd Generation American from GERMANY. If you honestly think this is *anything* like what happened in Germany when the Socialist party erected a wall to keep people INSIDE East Germany, then you're either 100% ignorant on world history, or just plain silly.
Wow. This is sincerely ridiculous. A literal quote is "can't wait to get out of here" then do it LEGALLY! If a Prisoner breaks out of Prison, should they be allowed to go free?! And Do Not misquote me as Mexico is a prison. Been there, legally, done that, legally.
Amen to this brother - I support immigration when its legal as I think Mexico, Central America as well as South America are home to some of the most beautiful souls on earth. Supporting illegal immigration is disgusting and a big F YOU to all those kind hardworking people who bothered to do the process legally. Can't believe Iration would make this kind of hurtful message.
For a band that sympathizes such socio-political status quotas, I wonder if they ever consider who theyre talking about when they promote so ignorantly and naively empathetic towards a mass wave of people who commit crime as a means to make success. There is no moral or ethical exception for breaking laws, screwing other immigrants over, and defying culture to a nation that feeds and clothes you. Disgusting. If these fucking people are so god damn proud of being Mexican or Central American or this or that, then they should at the very least come here legally, not leeching off the hard working tax payer dime, and ASSIMILATE PEACEFULLY TO THE HOST NATIONS CULTURE. The media everywhere guilting its citizenship to suck up to foreign criminals who culturally invade and destroy our lives for some do not deserve appraisal or appeasement in the slightest!
Keenan 556.762 No need for so much hate man, i'm Mexican and agree with you on some things but on other things you might not be as well informed. We're just here for the good music✌️ thank you Iration
Nice that your writing something other than a love song, but this feels forced. Not a whole lot of emotion behind it. No doubt this was forced by some kind of leftist record label exec.
And it is sad really. But it is the base of the whole entertainment industry. Sell your soul for fortune and fame. You signed up for it now you have to do their bidding to fulfill your contractual obligations.

This song knocks so hard can you play at one of the festivals for 2023!!!!
I dig it....people who listen to reggae need to stop asking "but this aint reggae" the lyrics support everything reggae music stands for
Matthew Beam ummmm...no they don't...but thanks...
Reggae supports love and respect, not crime. Immigration is wonderful, but illegal immigration is dangerous and unfair to all those who go through the process to get in legally! Iration is still a bomb ass band but they need to wake up to this reality.
song isn't even about immigration
Ive been to 4 of there shows and I would say they were all very reggae the last one with the dirty heads was amazing
I heard dirty heads do more rap now is that true?
The lyrics make me think about the borderlines of nations and how they are imaginary. When you look at the planet from outside of it. It has NO BORDERLINES! Always questions, and ask WHY?
Go Iration!
Thanks for the vote of confidence. There's an interesting book on this subject called Imagined Communities by Benedict Anderson. Not a direct influence on the song but will get you thinking.
@@iration What influenced the song?
I appreciate that these guys took the time to stand for something important; Justice for the indigenous peoples of this land.
Much Love

@@dustinfusco You ok man? You seem upset
Micah Pueschel only that you guys shit the bed on the 2018 album. Timebomb, Automatic, Hotting up, those were some real works of art.
There's not one song out there by iration that's a bad song every song just amazes me every time and makes me feel like I'm in some other beautiful place God Bless Iration you guys are truly amazing 💘 && the lead singer Micah is just so handsome I'd do anything to meet this band in person 😍
nini lopez Agreed! I just met the band and saw them perform live for the first time the other day,all extremely down to earth and friendly!
Just got the new Iration CD in the mail today. I love this song and video. Love the band. Proud to add this to my Iration collection!
Always will be a Irator.
I Listened to the whole song instead of one line. The message is clear if your mind is open. All these boarders are just imaginary lines, we all come from the same Earth but somehow lost site of what's important, One Love.

I agree.

Come to Santiago mates !
There is nothing wrong with doing something new. This is amazing. I love Iration & appreciate them for all the hard work they put into their music
Yes new Iration!!!!
You guys killed it!! One love! At the end no one takes nothing!🤙🏽
Love songs like this about fighting for each other and the greater good of the human race - community and cooperation over competition any day! Love you, Iration & fellow kind souls out there
Tight
It's now 8/20/2020 and with each and every day that goes by this song becomes more and more relevant.
And a year since you posted this Zach...world crazier than ever!
Wow.... Just wow
i love it already.
I am loving the new song.👍👍👍 Also Its good to see that you are getting social-political with your music. It is amazing how so many artists don't speak up for what they believe in.
ai como eu amo essa música vei
Who cares if this isn't reggae, this song is AAAWESOMEEEEE
No, you're AAWESOMEEEE
OMG I LOVE YOU
Love this!!!!
If you don’t get the lyrics and the meaning of this song then don’t listen to it. I love it! Much aloha to all of you.
Didn't realize you had to know the meaning of a song to like it.
Love it!
Eles são foda!!!!! Uma das melhores bandas.!!!!!
When are y’all coming back to the Wilmington or Jacksonville area?
We're playing Asheville and Greensboro NC in a couple weeks. Two nights in St. Pete and one in Pensacola as well. We'll be back in Wilmington/Jacksonville soon. Tour dates at irationmusic.com
Admire the confidence in your lyrics that are so in tune with present day issues. This one is definitely different but nonetheless you guys are keepin that quality while taking risks. Glad I'm a fan cuz these visuals are stunning!
Can't wait to see you guys at the #Intergalatic17 Tour with Through the Roots and Katastro!!
Man you guys need to make a visit to Indiana. We could use your irie vibes ! Going to have to plan a road trip otherwise.. love the music :)
Check our tour dates at irationmusic.com but I think Columbus probably closest this round
LoVeeeeee Iration fave fave song💞🎶🎵🌊💗🎶🍃
Is it supposed to be the border between imperial beach and tijuana? Cover design...
People who are saying this isn't reggae and that's it's killing the vibe are missing the point. If you can embrace this type of music with the same open mindedness that it promotes, you can find deep meaning and use it as a tool to enhance your mind and your human experience. More love
Love it ❤️ great job guys on giving a new perspective on what's going on in the rest of the world.
Iration, you always amaze me. Love it. Love everything you guys do for us.
Damm , this is GOOD, great song , great message, can't wait to see you guys live
Hmm...more poppy wasn't expecting this. Not reggae but. I LIKE IT! 😃😃😃
alternative
BUENA CANCION
I think it's good to stick to your roots but bands are supposed to evolve and I'm really digging this style
YESSSSSSS!
LOVE IT!! ❤💛💚
Holy cow. This was amazing, I didn't think Micah's voice could improve because it was already stellar. But here's proof that there's another level!
I love it. Even though it doesn't sound much like reggae, still a great song.
Great Song (Y)
Catchy but not what I picture when I think of iration. Also there is a definite agenda to this song.
Idk if I'm feeling it. I love all your music, this is just missing that reggae sound. I do appreciate the new music tho!
All good! That's why we released "Fly With Me" for the fans. Thanks for the support :)
We made walls and borders last as long as they could. Empires, kingdoms, nations, and societies have or are crumbling away. The time is coming for the return of the King of kings. When the adversary is bound. The chosen inhabitants of Earth will live free of borders and nation's. All will know and serve the God of Heaven and Earth, as one people.
Never disappoints ❤️💚💛
Another banger. Please keep making music, nothing like putting on an Iration album and cruising down to Hawaii Kai.
Banger? more like POP
Is it piece of mind or peace of mind?
Verse 1 is "piece of your mind"
Verse 2 is "peace of mind"
Realizing on-screen lyric wrong on second verse

Great comment. Well put.
You guys never fail to amaze! Everything you guys do is straight fire! Song is on repeat!
Such a strong message in this song time are little crazy we need more love and respect for every person in this world 🌎✌
This is so damn good! Keep it up!
Irations so great! One of my favs for sure
Y'all never cease to amaze me.
Tijuana!!!
Where's da roots at?
some folks need to refrain from staining good music with negtivity & resentment...regardless of it's content, it can be more about awareness of the shit storm we live in
🔥❤️👍🏼
big tune good video too
LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE IT!!!!!! I love you guys so much! Hopefully, I'll be able to see you guys when you come to GA. I'm the mom of the "tiger" little girl from the Variety Playhouse in little 5 points in GA. She loves you guys so much for letting her come on stage. She'll never forget that. You guys are awesome
Where's the acoustic version?
WOOOOW!!!!! AWESOME VIDEO!!!! HOLLY SHIT!!!
people seem to disagree with the point ....I'm pretty sure Michael Jackson did some bad stuff but I still dig his music...no comparison really but people are entitled to thier political views....just compartmentalize and enjoy Irations bad ass sound...and think for yourself dont let a. political party tell.you what to think
This video is amazing. Truly sums up such a big problem that's happening. Thank you for bringing awareness to this topic❤️✌️
wa wa oh wa wa why? #alterntive
I'd prefer the other stuff. Hopefully this isn't the new direction for the album.
That's why we released Fly With Me first :) We've got a little something for everyone
I'm diggin the new direction you are going into here. Social-Political songs is what's needed in this new world of division and hostility towards people of different colors, beliefs, sexual orientations. We'll never be unified until we stop demonizing each other.
If you like social-political songs, I'd also recommend SOJA. They have some good messages and such in their songs.
crazykid920 Totally agree on SOJA. They can get pretty deep.
Nano and medicine for the people.

Yes, and the demonization is coming from many angles. Immigration is not racism, get that through your thick skulls. Look at mexicos immigration policies and get back to me.
Who's here 2022
Senpai doesn't like Borders.
Song is good but message is kinda like the millions of dirt poor already here with dreams dont matter. SAD!
I thought this was a love song at first but...... PEACE LOVE ONENESS UNITY EMPATHY HARMONY.......❤💛💚💙💜
Apparently, all of the bands I liked, just shit the bed in New albums...iration, soja...
Don't jump the gun just yet. We've got a bunch of unreleased tracks and are currently in the studio. Borderlines might be a little different direction than you are used to but we also released Fly With Me for our core fans ruclips.net/video/DpMuRO_oDUc/видео.html

Iration getting political, sigh 😥
Thanks for this song, but it isn't reggae...
No it's not; "Borderlines" is a song that crosses into new territory both stylistically and subject-wise.
Ivan Galan Thanks Cpt. Obvious. You can't hate it though. So why bother making the point?
Listen 3 times and you'll suddenly love it. It takes a bit to get used to but now i love this song
Oh, a song about globalism and open borders. No thanks.
It's a song about being detained for doing something that used to be completely unmonitored.
All these ignorant people saying they are boycotting this band now saying they want to build a wall ask anyone from Germany how that worked out humans need to coincide not divide
I'm sorry; I'm a 2nd Generation American from GERMANY. If you honestly think this is *anything* like what happened in Germany when the Socialist party erected a wall to keep people INSIDE East Germany, then you're either 100% ignorant on world history, or just plain silly.
Not really feeling this. Too much of a pop feel and not enough reggae roots.
They never declared their self as Reggae. More of an island feel to them.
Loving this! Especially growing up on a border city where the rest of the nation doesn't know what is actually happening.
Cole Cole I hear ya. Just not their best work in my opinion
Love the band but they obviously don’t understand the meaning of borderlines...
Not meant for breaking..
I beg to differ
Wow. This is sincerely ridiculous. A literal quote is "can't wait to get out of here" then do it LEGALLY!
If a Prisoner breaks out of Prison, should they be allowed to go free?! And Do Not misquote me as Mexico is a prison. Been there, legally, done that, legally.

Supporting illegal immigration is disgusting and a big F YOU to all those kind hardworking people who bothered to do the process legally.

Goodbye Iration. There are many explanations, just none you want to listen to.
You won’t be missed
not really the reggae vibe i was hoping for..
For a band that sympathizes such socio-political status quotas, I wonder if they ever consider who theyre talking about when they promote so ignorantly and naively empathetic towards a mass wave of people who commit crime as a means to make success. There is no moral or ethical exception for breaking laws, screwing other immigrants over, and defying culture to a nation that feeds and clothes you. Disgusting.

Keenan 556.762 someone's upset
Someones a damn hypocrite. IF you like the song for what it actually stands for then you indeed are upset! lol
Keenan 556.762 No need for so much hate man, i'm Mexican and agree with you on some things but on other things you might not be as well informed. We're just here for the good music✌️ thank you Iration
They are from Hawaii lol
There are plenty of ethical reasons to break the law, equating legality with ethics is one of the first steps to authoritarianism.
Not feeling this. Killing the vibe.
Len D ironic
one of their best songs musically and politically
