Tankian, Serj - Borders Are Lyrics






Never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go

Borders are the gallows
Of our collective national egos
Subjective, lines in sand
In the water, separating everything

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

Here's my song for the free
No, it's not about praise and publicity
Corprotocracy, what a hypocrisy
Aristocrasy versus democracy

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

The king is dead and now
We're dancing in the streets
As the waters rise
We're merely covering our feet

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

The king is dead and now we're dancing in the streets
As the waters rise, we're merely covering our feet

Your gods are dead and now we're dancing in the streets
As the waters rise, we're merely cowering in defeat

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

Never let you go
I never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go

Never let you go
I never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go

    Nationalists would have an aneurysm at this song.

  2. B.... B....

    Pervert!

  3. b.... j....

    People are just people, the internet has proven it, we are all the same just trying to live life and be happy, imaginary lines won't change that, fences or walls won't change that, depite what governments want people will remove the borders we want to be united as the human species

  4. 5.... S....

    united we stand divided we fall. A house can not stand divided. wonder when theyll figure it out

  11. A.... H....

    I like how the US/ Mexico border was last

  12. D.... ....

    Please leave Ukrainian - Russian border in place. It's a crime to break this border with Mordor. Evil released.

  13. S.... ....

    serj, communists like you that blame hypocritically things that happen and then preach socialism.... are everywhere.

  14. Z.... A....

    the mexican dream starts from 4:20

  17. S.... ....

    thats song is beautiful

  18. K.... J....

    Yeah, let's remove every border on the planet. That way there will by absolutely zero wars. What could possibly go wrong?

    K.... J....

    Respectfully, I think you missed the point

    K.... J....

    That's not the point of the song. It's not about opening up every border or advocating against borders or having national pride. It's about how wars are fought because of "lines in the sand" so to speak

  19. a.... p....

    never let you go

  20. J.... H....

    OUR GOD IS MUCH MORE ALIVE... THAN EVER. i know, youtube, you are boring at this time To ALWAYS follow and spy ME.

    Told you the soviet union will be reborn!

  29. G.... ....

    No borders would work if every country was equal. That is not the case in our modern world however.

    G.... ....

    No borders will work if the majority of people try to understand others

    G.... ....

    @miggaz elquez Should we all just speak english then?

    G.... ....

    @Guitarninjaruy I don't see the connection

  31. Z.... A....

    Globalism rules!!!!!!!

  32. S.... H....

    borders are what serj, complete sentences please

  33. A.... B....

    I wanted Serj to pull all the puzzle pieces together at the end! They look like they once went together, but erosion possibly changed the lines a bit, but it look cool if they were all placed together, showing the coastlines now go back into a fitting pattern.

  34. n.... a....

    Serj is my spirit animal

  35. R.... G....

    This song promotes the New World Order aka One World Order. It promotes the enslavement of man kind. You think politics are bad now, wait until it's consolidated. It will destroy the diversity of mankind. In return all nations will become one requiring all to have the same beliefs. The bureaucracy of controlling the world will be evil.

  36. W.... W....

    by the way, wasn't Armenia itself formed in 1991 as an act of people's self determination in creating their own country in 1991 when the USSR crumbled... did Armenians prefer being a region of the USSR or do they prefer it now that they are Armenians with their own land, constitution, language and traditions? Lebanon was a country already in 1516 and then it got conquered and annexed by other countries throughout history, would Lebanese people be happy to give up their borders, traditions, language and religion or do they like to be Lebanese in Lebanon and only wish others did not come and bother them in their homeland? I like a world with many races, countries, traditions and cultures why are you advocating for a single gray race with a single culture, one race, one tradition, one language? this sounds like a boring and totalitarian eugenetic project: all slaves of a world elite government! Hitler was trying to do just that, a world without borders and Lebensraum for everyone (everyone who?! that is the problem!?) Self determination is the key, but it means borders, just like you want your house to be yours and yours only!

  37. W.... W....

    I get the point of a borderless world, but what about transnational crime? especially waste related crimes. If, for instance, there were no borders at all, how can you avoid rich countries from dumping hazardous waste into poor countries? Unfortunately, not all are wise and honest, a borderless world would entail world police, this would require a world government and that is a very dangerous option: who would sit in the world parliament? and who controls the controllers? how to control their work and avoid personal and corporate interests from transforming the planet into a world-reich totalitarianism? Lessons learned in Europe show that going beyond federalism can be dangerous because it creates serious loopholes for intra-regional organized crime to flourish. American Federalism works better in some way since States still maintain their own legislative power and State police... I don't know about a borderless world or a world divided into regions either... I mean: Hitler's project was a global PanGermany after all... no borders, everyone under the nazi Rule of Law... Dangerous stuff peolple... would you do without a door to your house? I wouldn't, friends are welcome, but I still can keep foes out and prevent everyone from using my home as a dump... it's a conundrum, just complaining and singing for a borderless world without foreseeing the consequences is dangerous. I wish we could all be one, peace and love unity and so forth, but humans are yet to be so wise and peaceful:... idk, give me something better than just: we want a borderless world with no agenda on how to manage it... Kelsen's proposal is not too bad: 1 elected representative every 10mln people or so, that would make a lot of representatives, tho... Nevertheless he still evìnvisioned some sort of State boundary with local administrative functions... What would you do Serj? Just cancel borders and let the strongest take all in a widespread civil war? keep the population under 500.000 as engraved in the Georgia Guidestones, who decides who lives and who doesn't, would you have everybody chipped with RFID technology?....Idk i'm just saying it is not so easy!

  38. J.... S....

    Fuckin MASTERPEICE!!!!👊🎵🎵🎵🌴🌇🌴🌉🌴SPHA

  39. x.... ....

    So interesting that in 2010, this song came out and here we are in 2019 dealing with the changing of the border policies and whatnot.. Notice how the last border to be removed from the video is the us-mexico border, almost phophetic in my opinion.

  40. S.... S....

    I love Serj

  41. Y.... ....

    If only the Armenians had borders against Turkey. Never would've been a genocide.

  42. w.... n....

    now do the same video with the azimuthal equidistant map :)

    w.... n....

    the fuck is a azimuthal equidistant map?

  43. M.... L....

    Thanks for holding on your voice so soothing makes me long...

  44. D.... C....

    What we need is territories to be honest with Serj Tankian and protect said territories with guns for those of us that are sane and can pass a license for said guns.

  45. M.... 1....

    Why can’t every country just be one?

    M.... 1....

    DDC Radio 1 Because people are different based on race and ideology and it’s better kept separate being one is good in heaven but it’s not good here where people are flawed and imperfect

    M.... 1....

    randombro89. If countries were united that probably wouldn’t happen as much.

  46. T.... R....

    If you make all those countries the same color on this map, the message would be more profound than just removing the borders between these countries. Color coding is still a way of saying, 'that country is not this country', when in it's just another lump of rock on Earth.

  47. m.... ....

    Barney's Mind sent me here.

  48. Y.... ....

    (who) never let you (who?) go ( to where?)
    is this song about

    someone never let his her family / friend /lover to battlefield?

  49. D.... C....

    What we need is territories with guards around them.

    D.... C....

    Without us patroling the world or conquering other nations.

  50. �.... �....

    no borders is the new world order, who will lead humanity? Americans? Rich ones? Corporations? Priests? No thanks. We need borders as long as it's neccessary to grow over these clothes.

  51. U.... ....

    Serj Tankian, the 51 year old man with the world view of an edgy 16 year old. Great musician though.

  52. w.... R....

    what a beautiful piece of music...

  53. �.... �....

    A chaotic logic is protecting people from the chaos...

  54. R.... a....

    I like being in Australia with no borders

  55. T.... ....

    Imagine having no control over where 7 billion people are allowed to go? I think borders serve a purpose buddy. But cool music though.

  56. R.... P....

    People need to see these lyrics in 2019.

    R.... P....

    Also 2020

  57. T.... ....

    Never let you go ...

  58. M.... (....

    Yeah... no. I love the music, Serj is awesome and I'll still listen to him, but borders are more than lines drawn in the sand. Every country has their own laws and rules, and there would be chaos if you tried to force things on different cultures all at once (for example, gay marriage would be a touchy issue).
    Even if we DO ignore the political stuff... Wolves have packs, birds have flocks, lions have prides, humans have nations. People will naturally fall back into groups no matter how much we try to erase them. Whether it's nationality, race, gender, sexual preference, religion, whatever. People will never be totally united. We can only come close.

    M.... (....

    Oh, also! Everyone shits on America for having no culture (because we're a melting pot our culture isn't as distinct), but with no borders, _every culture would start to look like ours._
    Whether you see that as a good or bad thing is up to you, I'm not saying it's either.

  59. n.... ....

    How could possibly the borders cease to exist, when there are and there have always been people under the same roof (or border) that fight each other?

  60. M.... W....

    Access to White people is not a human right.

  61. J.... R....

    Hmm. This was once my favorite vocalist. This song and video came out and I began examining my world around me objectively.

    Then, I looked at history. I remembered all of the blood that was spilled to make the U.S. what it is today, and then I thought. No borders? Does Serj Tankian leave the front door of his house open? His garage door?

    At one time, I agreed with the bleeding hearts for peace and prosperity for all of mankind. Common sense and human history shows that true peace can only be achieved by common goals, which is recently achieved via trade and mutually beneficial agreements.

    What I was missing before is that globalism is actually the thing we should be running from, yet many of the rock stars “bucking the system” were sharing this dream of NO government or no corrupt government, yet only offered the solution of lawless anarchy.

    Tidbit: If you have no government and no military in the U.S., who will protect us from foreign armies? Who would be the people to communicate with foreign nations regarding threats that affect us globally?

    You canNOT end war. It’s in our nature. How it is waged and how we react as a nation can be changed. First, we must acknowledge a few things:
    > BIG government is not the answer. > Gun control is not an answer for a Liberated people.
    > It is not the job of government to provide healthcare.
    > We need a _strict_ adherence to the U.S. Constitution *as it is written.*

    The real threat to our nation is already here: *Useful Idiots* banging the drums of hate and pushing us toward a Socialism that inevitably leads to Communism.

    Division is the game and you’re playing right into the snare.

    J.... R....

    If there is only one countrie, there are no foreign armies.

    J.... R....

    miggaz elquez wow 1000 iq there

    J.... R....

    Don't really agree

  62. H.... O....

    Seems Serj is a commie

  63. A.... D....

    Open borders for Israel!

  64. S.... F....

    we dont live in a world where everyone has a good will and always do good things. you cant let everyone come for free to a country the entrance should be based on merith
    there are a lot of people do a lot of harm the main enemy imo are the cartel drugs they only bring crime and violence to a country

  65. j.... ....

    because Mexico in the final?

  66. C.... U....

  68. T.... P....

    I think borders in this day and age are required, no matter how you twist things. And in most ways beneficial.

    Don't flame, I still love the song :))

  69. M.... l....

    "To do away with national barriers" -Charlie Chapman; 'the great dictator'

  70. D.... ....

    I love Serj as a musican but i can't agree with him here.

    Just look at Sweden and England as an example, open borders has brought absolute chaos and disaster over there. We need borders to protect ourselves from that

  71. A.... B....

    This is fucking CRAZY

  72. D.... V....

    Did u see border of your country flying away. Mine is at 2:45 Montenegro (Crna Gora).

  73. V.... K....

    I´m starting to think that Tankian is an anarcho-communist.

  74. W.... a....

    To Late Serj The Gangrene proliferate on our world......

  75. L.... P....

    3:46 disappears Venezuela, I wish Venezuela free again. :(

    L.... P....

    I agree, it should be free, I wish it the best of luck

  76. T.... ....

    just look at US alone, its going to become utter chaos if you remove the different states, even in the same country they cant even decide over the age of consent, if guns are bad or not, or what the taxes should be. and you think the whole world could be in agreement? for example the eastern Europe people wants to be socialists, and sweds cant even make up their minds if they want to be socialists or not and keep switching between the two.

  77. T.... ....

    Here some LOVE take it <3 Accept it

  78. f.... s....

    Yeah, so he goes and lives in new Zealand. Got it

  79. A.... 8....

    if its no borders than it will be one world religion

  80. T.... B....

    White people came from another planet

  81. �.... �....

    я не понял.))))

  82. V.... L....

    suas musicas sempre tem ótimas melodias .

  83. T.... ....

    alright, folks, I hate globalist pigs and globalist pigs hate me, but can't we just enjoy the music?

  84. R.... S....

    >Mexico

    Welp better put gun turrets on that wall.

  85. K.... ....

    lovely lyrics

  86. d.... ....

    Everyone saying how US/Mexico was last to go, I'm just surprised Armenia/Azerbaijan wasn't first.

  87. T.... M....

    Looks like I’m left for dead.

  88. A.... K....

    Moses must come!

  89. N.... ....

    hell no!

  90. M.... C....

    Is trump really the worst world leader today? Be honest you hypocrites. He definitely is an ass but not the worst world leader.

  91. L.... P....

    "Fear is the cause of separation"...it's a real inconvenient truth dudes!

  92. T.... M....

    I seriously don’t know how to exist now that I put these clothes delivered to me from Egypt on my body. I pray you know what spells you cast.

    there is only One Earth, and it´s a pretty small stage...

    Then come get me, like now. 🇪🇬

  96. A.... P....

    National states: an idea invented to convince the plebs to fight in the war against their neighbours. But then the man got enlightened. We removed almost every monarchy, what's the sense of keeping the same old borders? There's no _Habsburg versus Romanov_ territorial quarrel anymore, so why keeping the borders?

    A.... P....

    What you're asking for is complete anarchy. Borders contain governments to their regions and maintain order. If you think the US is bad for illegally occupying foreign territory, all hell would break loose with no borders. How would we define nations without borders? The disputes would be chaotic. And borders are not tied to monarchy, they're tied to the governing body of the region regardless of government style.

  97. N.... I....

    necessary.
