Pictures Of The Other Side
Gareth Gates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even seen in the years, they come and go
We remember the world that's in our mind
So then everything you had ever seen
Every color of memory, that's end
Everyone of ahead is opponent
[Chorus]
We come in a star shine and arise
Within the pictures of the other side
I know we slide
We come in the best fly over here
Gala's between the blue skies there to raining sends
We can fly
If you tired of listen close your mind
You cough me on your reason far behind
We spoke in the silence as before
We are everything all you have to do
Is think of me, as in to you
We deliver messages of "put me up"
[Chorus]
We come in a star shine and arise
Within the pictures of the other side
I know we slide
We come in the best fly over here
Gala's between the blue skies there to raining sends
We can fly
Fly away
Oh, we can fly! Oh
If you coming closer, take my hand
There's no limit around me, understand
We going far
We are everything all you have to do
Is think of me, as in to you
We deliver messages of "put me up"
[Chorus]
We come in a star shine and arise
Within the pictures of the other side
I know we slide
We come in the best fly over here
Gala's between the blue skies there to raining sends
We can fly
We come in a star shine and arise
We can fly, oh oh, woh
We come in a star shine we can fly, we can fly
In Gareth Gates’s song Pictures Of The Other Side, the lyrics are focused on the idea of memories and how they can transport us to another world on the “other side”. The opening verse, “we are water of tears you’re watching go, even seen in the years, they come and go” suggests the idea that our memories, like tears, are fleeting and disappear over time. However, the second line also denotes that those tears are "seen" (remembered) even after time passes.
The chorus, “We come in a star shine and arise within the pictures of the other side” implies that memories can be like stars, bright and shining, and can transport us to another world. The repetition of the phrase “we can fly” also drives this idea, displaying the limitless potential of our memories. The second verse, “If you tired of listen close your mind, you cough me on your reason far behind,” encourages us to turn inward and focus on our inner selves to remember past times.
Finally, the bridge “If you coming closer, take my hand, there's no limit around me, understand” invites listeners to grasp tightly to memories and emotions, promising an escape to another reality. The song’s lyrics overall reveal how memories can create a world without limits and boundaries, transporting us to a place where we can “fly” freely.
