The Other Side
Brian Glaze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blood is on the otherside
I'm gonna stand and fight
I'm gonna watch them die
Whats on the otherside
Blood is on the otherside
I'm jus gonna stand hear for awhile
Fly by and by.
The lyrics of Brian Glaze's song 'The Other Side' appear to evoke a sense of war and conflict, with the repeated line "blood is on the other side" suggesting that violence and death are present in the area beyond the singer's current perspective. Despite this, the singer asserts that they will "stand and fight" and "watch them die," indicating a determination to confront whatever danger lies ahead.
However, the following lines suggest a dissonance between the urgency of the situation and the singer's immediate surroundings. They describe watching "birds and bombs and planes" fly by, as though detached from the violence they claim to be prepared to face. The difference in tone between the first and second halves of the song could be interpreted as a commentary on the psychological toll of warfare, with the singer oscillating between a desire for action and a desire for escape.
Overall, the lyrics of 'The Other Side' convey a complex mixture of determination and detachment in the face of violence and conflict.

I'm curious about what exists beyond my current situation
Blood is on the otherside
There is violence and danger on the other side
I'm gonna stand and fight
Despite the risk, I am determined to take action against those threatening my safety

Fly by and by.
As time passes, everything is temporary and transient
