The Niro Releases ‘Borderline’ in Italian and English

Borderline – The Niro

In stores and on the radio from May 30th

Borderline, the new single by The Niro for the Esordisco label, was released on Friday, May 30.

For the first time, the Roman singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has decided to publish the song in both languages, Italian and English.

“To all those who can lie as if nothing had happened”

“Borderline is the right song for those who fold the truth like a napkin: with elegance, of course, but which remains dirty. For those who manage to pass through reality without touching it, with naturalness, that brazen grace that looks so much like a superpower. Or an evolved form of unconsciousness. An archetype, more than a memory. To all those who manage to lie as if nothing had happened. Who hold the point even when the point is emptiness. Always at ease, even when everything around them falls apart” we read in a note. “I wrote Borderline inspired by some figures that pass through our lives like stubborn extras – says The Niro – they wander everywhere, in private life as in the palaces of power, in the family as in the news. Stable figures in the art of denying the evidence, of lying without feeling its weight. Immune to doubt, to guilt, to the slightest internal crack. To them, I wanted to dedicate an anti-hymn. A small trophy of honor to the absence of shame”. Borderline sounds like a light laugh among the rubble and anticipates The Niro’s new album, to be released in autumn 2025.

Lyrics

Life is a pain,
But I grew up bold
Sorrounded by eyes
Judges of the world
You make me laugh
Oh, laugh
Cause I’m a borderline

Time is a blame
But I wouldn’t heal
Pedestal men
Are not my cup of tea
You make me cry
Oh, cry
Cause I’m a borderline

Fuck to my pain
Fuck to my tears
Fuck to my brain
Fuck to my dears
I just have fun

Staring at my fears
Maybe I should go
But I love to ruin your dreams
So I shouldn’t go
You make me cry
Smile
Cause I’m a borderline

Fuck to my pain
Fuck to my tears
Fuck to my brain
Fuck to my dears
Fuck to all of you
Fuck to my time
I’m a borderline
