Kaskade - Borrowed Theme Lyrics






I used to shine the perfect borrowed light
It wasn't mine and it was taking over night
Shame traces the edges of your face
Fully lit, independent of this place

Old enough to see
How diamond wedding rings
Has counterfeited things

I've been borrowed
Shame on me

My muse is gone, forsaken of the theme
No motto now--no cradle, no dream
Bathed with a soft, embezzled light
Six feet below an idealistic love

But I still want these things
Flighted childhood dreams
As foolish as they seem

I've been taken
Shame on me

I used to shine
It wasn't mine
Shame, shame, shame
Fully lit

Now only sweet little wishful things
Are bound and gagged, tied up in different strings
No living castles up in the sky
Following unbothered clouds go by

And I've been taken
Shame on me

But I still want these things
Flighted childhood dreams
As foolish as they seem

I've been taken
Shame on me

Kaskade Borrowed Theme Comments
  1. M.... J....

    Today is Saturday 08, March of 2019, 12:03 am. I'm just reading old comments, and geting nostalgia. This is beautiful.

  2. C.... A....

    I love you vecky jean williams

  3. K.... ....

    That ending!!! great song!!!

  4. C.... B....

    man I miss this album

  5. K.... ....

    I dedicate this song to all of the poor souls taken by Oryx...

  6. D.... ....

    I love this song. her voice is great.

  7. T.... T....

    Love this song

  8. R.... D....

    such a soft mellow theme 

  9. r.... ....

    love this song x

  10. J.... P....

    fuk u all ;o

  11. D.... S....

    @Andy S Being borrowed, I think, means the woman feels used.

  12. g.... ....

    go fuck yourself

  13. d.... ....

    Reminds me of walking through the lit up streets of a city at night, with people and the lights of cars passing you by now and then. Or enjoying a beautiful nightly scenery of a city skyline at which you could stare endlessly

  14. S.... C....

    Love this so much

  15. c.... ....

    a thousand thumbs up, because what the fuck do i care what some internet personality thinks? I like this song because it speaks to me, not because I follow some stupid fucking blog.

  16. H.... M....

    Melancholy songs always bring out the good and bad in reality. Kaskade's songs usually seem to follow some kind of pattern of euphoria and/or the aftereffects. I think he once described it as "the life of the party" and then the life AFTER the party. Always love the dualism.

  17. R.... L....

    curiosity brought me here

  18. d.... m....

    aaaaa i love kaskade

  19. B.... ....

    Also, you gotta be pretty dense to not realize that this song is about losing your virginity and regretting it. Talking about: "...it was taken over night", "diamond wedding rings", "But I've been taken, shame on me..." It could also be that he is using that example to portray a loss of innocence in general.

    How is this not at least relatively obvious?

  20. B.... ....

    @MegaCookieCrumbz
    Holy fuck man, are you Robert Downsy Jr? Kaskade is A GUY! Singular! Where the fuck did you get the idea that it was a group? And you don't understand how there are female vocals? You really think that every time you hear somebody singing that they are the one doing all the composition, performing, and producing of that song? Probably at least 95% of songs with female vocals that you hear we're composed, performed, and produced by a male.

  21. A.... S....

    What is the meaning of "I've been borrowed"? :)

  22. R.... 2....

    this always reminds me of the fascinating fantasies i use to have as a kid... and especially in my dreams. the dreams that you never want to end, the songs like these are in sync and perfectly in tune with my heart and thoughts. this is what will be playing for me when i'm in one of those states now :) thank you kaskade

  23. D.... r....

    this sounds awsome on my new studio beatz by dr.dre :)

  24. i.... ....

    Anyone who calls this "gay" clearly doesn't have an ear for music. It's just, damn Kaskade...the sounds they use are ethereal, the progression is entrancing, beautiful, and extremely colorful, if that makes any sense. This song in particular is way colorful to me

  25. P.... ....

    made me laugh =D

  26. m.... m....

    This excited me

  27. s.... ....

    Whenever I try to sing along when the lyrics change from 'I've been borrowed' to "I've been taken' I always get mixed up and sing 'I've been bacon'

  28. m.... m....

    Hahahahahahaaha me too :)

  29. m.... m....

    O my God i really REALLY love this, wow

  30. p.... ....

    superbbbbbb michelle phan broght me here tooo =D

  31. k.... ....

    For some reason this breaks my heart.

  32. c.... ....

    @asianbeverage Well your friends are stupid. You're awesome for listening to this kind of music.

  33. s.... ....

    Kaskade really gets to me. I could see some friends calling it gay, but the majority of the people that mean a lot to me actually appreciate him.

  34. N.... ....

    @asianbeverage They call you gay, huh? Tell them how many times you've gotten laid playing Kaskade's music and they'll shit bricks.

  35. D.... ....

    love been taken...shame on me... :(

  36. r.... r....

    But I still want these things..Flighted childhood dreams :(

  37. b.... ....

    @asianbeverage I was about to say, most of my friends think this is "gay". I just love it. It puts me to sleep sometimes at night and I love the bass in it. Great piece. This is music.

  38. R.... ....

    Funny it says HD, yet the only quality option is 240p

  39. M.... ....

    @rocketbass88 ......... i didn't kno dat. i thought kaskade were gurls xD

  40. C.... E....

    @asianbeverage I'm in the same boat as you... I have loved house my whole life and have always been given a hard time for listening to it.... WHO CARES, the music is amazing!!

  41. r.... ....

    @MegaCookieCrumbz Kaskade uses female vocals... How do you not see how this works?

  42. T.... J....

    @MegaCookieCrumbz by the love of god, i i hope that was sarcasm xD
    If it was, Hahahahahaahahah.

  43. M.... ....

    WAIT WAIT WAIT I DONT GET DIS!!!! SO IF THEIR GUYS Y DO THEY SING LIKE GURLS??? SUMEONE PLZ TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  44. P.... ....

    Why does this song remind of a Christmas lullaby?

    Anyway, LOVELY song =3

  46. E.... ....

    Wolfjpf2 brought me here. :]

  47. b.... ....

    @asianbeverage Fuck em this song is awesome

  48. c.... ....

    @PerWup If you look at the tags, it tags becky jean williams whom he seems to collaborate with quite often, so I'm guessing it's a good bet that its her!

  49. S.... _....

    Who does the vocal in this amazing song?

  50. O.... K....

    @asianbeverage
    i think they are gay since the dont listen to this kind of music ;)

  54. T.... ....

    @wreckeneyez O_o Kaskade is a GUY DJ. gtfo fail troll

  55. J.... ....

    I'd love to play this at a night in the city, at near Christmas time when they actually decorate the trees with lights. Did I make it sound too dramatic? Anyway, I love this song! I've re-played it a lot of times already!

  56. L.... E....

    @easttennstudent haha oops. Brought

    Her voice is perfection.

  58. L.... E....

  60. g.... ....

    @asianbeverage your friends are ignorant

  61. A.... ....

    want this song to play at my wedding!

  62. T.... ....

    how could anyone dislike this =/its beautiful.

  63. H.... ....

    @AleLaLoka88 haha that's intense

  64. M.... ....

    @asianbeverage Holy shit... not often I use "two" in the wrong context. "Too" would be the proper word. Jesus, this music makes my brain all fuzzy.

  65. M.... ....

    @asianbeverage Yeah I get that two from people who don't understand. Usually I say nothing but sometimes I like to give them a perspective to think about. How is it gay for me to listen to a woman's beautiful voice? Or should I listen to some burly guy talk about how rich and famous he is? When you think of it that way it becomes clear who is gay and who isn't. LOL shouldn't matter anyway. Just enjoy the music. :]

  66. k.... a....

    makes me think.......

  67. P.... N....

    gah i cant get enough if this freaking song.... play it in my car at work at home i love it... kaskade amazing to a z

    I love this song and pretty much all Kaskade's songs!

  88. p.... ....

    This melody is so haunting.
    "I've been taken, shame on me. I used to shine."
    Life presents opportunities for us to recognize that we've been taken, it's what we do with that realization that counts.

  89. T.... ....
