The Other Side
Bitter End Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Convinced of nothing, being pulled from both sides, gotta find what is real, sick of running blind, nothing adds up looking in from the outside, seperation is taking hold of me. Too many theories thrown in my way, sifting through it all trying to take in the knowledge , causing a collision with a serious aftermath, can't force a smile within these confines. Don't know whats coming. this is not a game. life and death, are they the same? in the final hour, who choses my fate? will i move on or remain in this world? Convinced of nothing, being pulled from both sides, gotta find what is real, sick of running blind, nothing adds up looking in from the outside, seperation is taking hold of me. No escape from this maze. in the end you start again. And then what happens i don't know. do you know? can we know? does it even matter or are we just flesh and bone? i'm missing something. don't like what i see. Can't take shelter in my mind. All I hear are screams from the outside

The first line "Convinced of nothing, being pulled from both sides" highlights the internal struggle the singer is experiencing. They are uncertain about their beliefs and are being pulled in different directions.

They seem to be questioning the purpose of life and if there's any significance to their existence. The lines "in the final hour, who chooses my fate? will I move on or remain in this world?" demonstrate their fear of the unknown and the inevitability of death.


The last few lines conclude the song with the singer feeling lost and lacking direction. They feel like they are missing something important and can't find solace in their own mind. The final line "All I hear are screams from the outside" could be interpreted as the harsh realities of the world drowning out their thoughts and emotions.
