"Borderline" is a song about a relationship that is on the brink of falling apart. Madonna sings about feeling trapped in love with someone who is not fully committed to her. She asks for clarity in their relationship and wants to know if the other person really wants to be with her. The lyrics suggest that the other person is sending mixed signals and not taking the relationship seriously. Madonna is tired of being pushed away one moment and then pulled back in the next.
