Flipside
[The Click Five] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I shoulda seen it coming but I guess I'm not the only fool
There's something growin' on the outside
Too much missin' on the inside
Should I waste my time and let you lead me on and on
And on and on?
Waiting for the day when I'm complete
Doing what I can to let you be
Making sure there's nothing showing on the outside
Something's dying on the inside
I'm still broken but I'm free
I'll see you on the flip side
I've got a bruised up heart
But I'm still hanging out
I should take it easy but I'm still gonna get around
There's something growing on the outside
Too much missing on the inside
Should I waste more time when everything is done
And done and overdone
Waiting for the day when I'm complete
Without you I'm
Doing what I can to let you be
Making sure there's
Nothing showing on the outside
Somethings dying on the inside
I'm still broken but I'm free
I'll see you on the flip side
I'll see you on the flip side
Nothing showing on the outside
Somethings dying on the inside
Waiting for the day when I'm complete
Doing what I can to let you be
Nothing showing on the outside
Somethings dying on the inside
I'm still broken but I'm free
I'll see you on the flip side
The lyrics in The Click Fiveβs song Flipside suggest a sense of weariness and realization of the end of a relationship. The singer expresses his realization that things are no longer working and that something is growing on the outside while too much is missing on the inside. It seems as though the singer wants to leave but is unsure whether they want to waste their time and continue being led on. The lyrics suggest that the relationship is affecting the singer more internally than externally, with something dying on the inside. Despite this, the singer still has hope for a complete and free future without the person they are currently with. The flip side symbolizes a new beginning, a fresh start, and the possibility of a better tomorrow.
The lyrics of the song are relatable to anyone who has gone through a bad breakup. It exemplifies the struggle between the need to stay with someone for the sake of security while also yearning for independence and freedom. The song also embodies the idea of closure, of letting go of a relationship that has already ended and moving forward to a new chapter in life.
