The Other Side
本 The Buddhist Monks-Sakya Tashi Ling Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I feel the earth has no direction, nothing living on
And everyday I expect that something happens what shouldn???t be
Why don???t you give me your smile ? It will be so easy-y, yeah!
If you don???t, we???ll never know, never know each other
Don???t you want to know the other side ?

Living in norm I will ever need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight dance with me
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Hizen Dojo

The way is so long but you shouldn???t hesitate, no, no!
There are so many happinesses, sorrows you???ll have to go through
But at the end you will find yourself and a door
You will see the brightest light, let it wrap you, let you go
You will feel you were born again

Living in norm I will ever need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight dance with me
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Read out the prayers of religion and you'll be free
(Tam pe cho nam la kyab su chio)
Walking is slower than volplaning keep on going
(Pag pe gen dun nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Dojo (Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Dojo (Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Hizen Dojo (Tam pe cho nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Dojo-o-o-o-o (Pag pe gen dun nam la kyab su chio)

Living in norm I will ever need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight dance with me
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Read out the prayers of religion and you'll be free
(Tam pe cho nam la kyab su chio)
Walking is slower than volplaning keep on going




(Pag pe gen dun nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Doj

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "The Other Side" by The Buddhist Monks-Sakya Tashi Ling depicts the feeling of the singer about the world being directionless and empty. He is constantly waiting for something to happen and is seeking for an interaction that will give him happiness. He wants someone to smile at him and get to know each other if possible. The singer is attempting to break away from monotony and apathy and live a life with purpose. He urges the listener to leave the comfort zone and be ready for the unpredictable journey which will eventually lead to self-realization. The lyrics also suggest that the path to enlightenment is not easy, but one must continue on this spiritual journey of life.


The song also promotes Buddhism as in the song, "Living in norm I will ever need", which emphasizes the importance of Buddhism in the life of the singer. The lyrics are in Tibetan and Japanese, and it's a perfect blend of Eastern and Western music. The song's title "The Other Side" represents the transition to the afterlife, and with the teachings of Buddhism, the singer hopes to find peace and understanding. The prominent mention of "Hizen Dojo" in the song also signifies that the singer is on this journey towards self-realization through the traditional practice of Hizen Dojo.
