about

'Cross The Line' is the new 80s freestyle single by genre-bending and often experimental retrowave stalwarts Thought Beings and New York City's italo disco/retrowave duo Bunny X, a collaboration that has been in the works for quite a while ever since a label-wide Zoom meet and greet sparked the idea of a duo-on-duo alliance.

Cross The Line is a salty, attitude-driven 80s freestyle/Hi-NRG banger that might bring to mind for listeners such 80s artists as The Cover Girls, Sweet Sensation, Exposé and even early Madonna, whose 1984 track 'Pretender' from Like A Virgin was particularly inspirational on Cross the Line - both lyrically and sonically. All of the above-mentioned artists' works continue to inspire both Thought Beings and Bunny X, as they gleefully discovered while they worked on the track together during 2022.

Indeed, it was important to both to bring out that 80s, take no prisoners attitude and that the protagonist of this story sends her duplicitous lover packing after they crossed the line one too many times.

lyrics

[LYRICS]

I can’t help but scratch my head when we’re together 
It’s like you’re a million miles away
Could have sworn I knew you better 

And instead of saying all of the sweet things 
you used to say before 
Well I could just about place my bet 
that you’ll completely ignore 
All of the things I still do for you
      
You’re breaking my heart in two 
but I won’t go to pieces over you

Did you cross the line 
Cuz something don’t seem right 
Its like my mama always said 
It happens once and then it happens twice 

I used to stare at the phone and wonder why it wasn’t ringing 
I remember rushing home
Hoping my message light was blinking

But I keep on getting mixed emotions  
first you’re hot then you’re cold 
And I’ma just about to lose my mind 
Because you don’t even know
how much love I could give to you
 
You’re breaking my heart in two
but I won’t go to pieces over you

Did you cross the line 
Cuz something don’t seem right 
Its like my mama always said 
It happens once and then it happens twice 

You’re breaking my heart in two
but I won’t go to pieces over you

Did you cross the line 
Cuz something don’t seem right 
Its like my mama always said 
It happens once and then it happens twice 

Did you cross the line 
Cuz something don’t seem right 
Its like my mama always said 
It happens once and then it happens twice 

I want a hero but you act like a zero
So I'll say ciao for now baby
