The Other Shore
Aly & Fila Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A Sea of Stars above me
A stream of shadows pass me by
Their bodies glow, their eyes blink
Their fingers miles apart from mine
We pad our our hearts with static
And wander the earth alone
Til sparks ignite and light the way back home
Fall with me into the arms of night
And guide me through the storm
Til we reach the other shore
Stay with me until the end of time
I am centered, I'm renewed
I am whole again tonight
With you

So carry me away





Carry me away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Aly & Fila With Aruna's song "The Other Shore" evoke a feeling of being lost and alone in the world, but eventually finding someone to guide you back to where you belong. The reference to a "Sea of Stars above me" invokes an image of the vastness of the universe, and how small and insignificant human beings are in comparison. The "stream of shadows" may symbolize the fleeting nature of life, people coming and going as we journey through the world.


The lyrics speak of the heart being filled with "static," which could be interpreted as the clutter and noise of daily life, distracting us from the things that truly matter. But when we find someone who sparks a connection with us, it "ignites" something within us and "lights the way back home." The idea of "falling" into the "arms of night" and being guided through a storm to reach the "other shore" speaks to the notion of trusting someone to lead us through difficult times and to a better place.


The chorus of the song repeats the idea of being carried away, perhaps symbolizing a desire to let go of control and be taken to a place of comfort and safety. The final line, "With you," drives home the message that the connection with another person is what ultimately makes us feel complete and whole.

A Sea of Stars above me
I am surrounded by a sky full of bright shining stars.


A stream of shadows pass me by
I see passing shadows around me.


Their bodies glow, their eyes blink
The shadows have a gleam and their eyes blink.


Their fingers miles apart from mine
The distance between myself and the shadows is huge.


We pad our our hearts with static
We all accumulate static which affects our emotions.


And wander the earth alone
We all travel on this earth, even though we may seem alone at times.


Til sparks ignite and light the way back home
Until a spark of inspiration appears to lead us back to where we belong.


Fall with me into the arms of night
Let's surrender ourselves to darkness and its comfort.


And guide me through the storm
Help me through rough times and obstacles.


Til we reach the other shore
Until we arrive at our final destination.


Stay with me until the end of time
Promise to be with me forever.


I am centered, I'm renewed
I am at peace, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.


I am whole again tonight
I feel complete once more, just for tonight.


With you
Only with your companionship and guidance.


So carry me away
Take me somewhere else.


Carry me away
Take me somewhere else.

What a beautiful song, and I was reminded of it synchronistically by my angel who passed exactly 6 months from today. Also the lyrics should include the name Thich Nhat Hanh as part of the lyrics of the chorus... (The Other Shore: A New Translation of the Heart Sutra with Commentaries. Book by Thich Nhat Hanh)
