Other Side
Rebelution Lyrics

How you feeling? How you feeling?
Asking the listener how they are doing before beginning to explain his own experiences

People, take it easy can't you see that I'm busy now
Asking others to be patient with him because he is currently preoccupied with his own personal struggles

I've got a knack for some trouble believe me,
Explaining that he has a natural tendency to get into problems and difficult situations

And lately I've been trying to block it out
Admitting that he has been trying to ignore or avoid his problems

I've got a strange little other side, a temptation that I try to hide
Acknowledging that he has a secret side of himself that is tempted to make bad choices, but he tries to keep it hidden

Just like a pretty girl saying do or die
Comparing his temptation to a seductive woman who is tempting him to do something he knows is wrong

And I can tell when I look at you
Suggesting that he can see that the listener is also struggling with inner demons

That you've been going what I'm going through
Imagining that the listener is experiencing the same challenges and struggles as he is

The same thing happens, the same thing happens
Implying that this is a common human experience that many people face

But I've been thinking I can be a better man see
Recognizing that he can choose to be a better person and overcome his negative tendencies

Instead of taking life for granted I feel lucky to be alive,
Realizing that he should be grateful for his life and make the most of it, rather than taking it for granted

Good how I'll feel inside
Anticipating the positive emotions that will come with making positive changes in his life

And from now on we're taking big strides
Committing to making significant progress and positive changes in his life

Hold up, now yes I'm on something great,
Announcing that he has found something that is helping him to improve his life

If you know you relate, no one's perfect
Encouraging listeners to recognize that everyone is flawed and makes mistakes

And if you think you can't count your mistakes,
Challenging listeners to be honest with themselves and recognize the mistakes they have made

Think again, cuz I know that you can
Reassuring listeners that they are capable of acknowledging their mistakes and growing from them

Dear sir, I'm pretty sure that we grow every day
Reflecting on the fact that every day presents an opportunity for personal growth and improvement

Based on simple mistakes that we make
Acknowledging that even the small mistakes we make can be opportunities for growth and improvement

There ain't no easy way, there ain't no easy way
Admitting that personal growth is a difficult and ongoing process

But you keep thinking you can be a better man see
Encouraging the listener to continue striving to be a better person, even in the face of difficulties

Instead of taking life for granted you'll feel lucky to be alive,
Suggesting that being grateful for life can help us to appreciate it and make the most of it

Good how you'll feel inside And from now on we're taking big strides
Encouraging listeners to anticipate the positive emotions that will come with making positive changes, and to commit to taking significant steps towards those changes
