The Other Side
Alastis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They know our destiny
They feel our suffering
They wish our salvation
On the other side

We persuade ourself
That it death comes to the end
But we know that's not true
We can't lie to our conscience
From the most athestic
To the most fervent believers
We fear the rebirth's pain
The eternal beginning again

They know our destiny
They feel our suffering
They wish our salvation
On the other side

You can lie,you deny
You can blaspheme
You can hide,run away
They'l be always with you
In your sorrow
Your happiness
They'll be always present
Forget your pride
And seek the peace
With the other side

Accept your destiny
Admit your faults
Carry out your mission
You'll be rewarded





On the other side

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alastis's song, "The Other Side," delves into the concept of death and what lies beyond it. The first stanza talks about entities that are aware of our fate, feel our pain, and wish for our salvation on the other side, which clarifies that there is something after death. The second stanza talks about how we try to convince ourselves that death is the end, but our conscience knows the truth, and we fear the pain of rebirth and starting anew eternally. The third stanza talks about how we can deny, blaspheme, or attempt to hide from these entities, but they will always be with us, in our happiness and sorrow, and it is better to make peace with them than be prideful and suffer.


The song points towards accepting fate, admitting our faults, and fulfilling our purpose, which will lead to rewards on the other side. The lyrics are a warning to people who have lost their way in life that there is a better life waiting for them if they focus on the bigger picture and fulfill their mission. "The Other Side" elucidates how death is not the end, and there is life after it, but whether it is good or bad is based on how we live.
