The Other Side
Bruno Mars(브루노 마스) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're as straight as they come
You go 'bout your day baby
While I hide from the sun
It's better if you don't understand
'Cause you won't know what it's like
Until you try
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time
But you just gotta decide
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other,
Waiting on the other side
We would live forever
Who could ask for more
You could die if you wanted
But baby what for
It's better if you don't understand
And you won't know what it's like
Until you try
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time
But you just gotta decide
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other,
Waiting on the other side
If they say life's a dream
Call this insomnia
'Cause this ain't Wonderland
It damn sure ain't Narnia
And once you cross the line
You can't change your mind
Yeah I'm a monster
But I'm no Frankenstein
And quite frankly
I've been feeling insane in between my eyes
I really can't explain what I feel inside
If you knew what I was you'd run and hide
Many have tried to go into the night
Cross over the line and come back alive
But that's the price we pay when we living on the other side
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
I could wait a whole life time
But you just gotta decide
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other,
Waiting on the other side
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
The song "The Other Side" by Bruno Mars is a love song with a twist. The opening lyrics suggest that the singer and their partner have different ways of approaching life. The singer admits they are "complicated" while their partner is "straight as they come". The chorus implies that the singer is asking their partner to join them on "the other side," a place where they can live forever and be happy. The other side could be interpreted as a metaphor for a more daring or adventurous lifestyle, or even a completely different existence. The singer suggests that until their partner tries it, they won't understand the appeal.
The second verse explores the idea that life is fleeting and questions why someone would want to die when they could choose to live forever on the other side. The bridge has a different tone than the rest of the song, delving into darker themes such as insomnia, madness, and monsters. The last line suggests that those who try to cross over and come back alive pay a price for doing so.
Overall, the song is about taking risks and living a life that is fulfilling, in spite of the fear and uncertainty that can come with it. It could be interpreted as a love song about a person who wants to share their journey with someone they care about. Alternatively, it could be seen as a call for adventure, a challenge to live life to the fullest, even if it takes one to the "other side".
Line by Line Meaning
Truth of the matter is I'm complicated
I am a complicated person and our relationship might not be easy
You're as straight as they come
You are an uncomplicated, straightforward person
You go 'bout your day baby, While I hide from the sun
You have a normal life while I prefer to stay hidden and avoid the outside world
It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't know too much about my hidden life
'Cause you won't know what it's like
Because you can't understand what it's like to live like me
Until you try
You can't understand until you experience it yourself
You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side
I will be waiting for you on the other side of understanding
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line
All you have to do is try to understand me and make an effort to bridge the gap between us
I could wait a whole life time
I am willing to wait as long as it takes for you to understand me
But you just gotta decide
But it's up to you to make the decision to try and understand me
We would live forever
If we could understand each other, our relationship would last forever
Who could ask for more
There would be nothing more to ask for
You could die if you wanted, But baby what for
Life would be meaningless without true understanding and connection
If they say life's a dream, Call this insomnia
If life is supposed to be a dream, then my life feels like a constant state of wakefulness and struggle
'Cause this ain't Wonderland, It damn sure ain't Narnia
My life is not some magical fairy tale; it's a harsh reality
And once you cross the line, You can't change your mind
Once you make an effort to understand me, there's no going back to ignorance
Yeah I'm a monster, But I'm no Frankenstein
I might seem monstrous from afar, but I'm not some man-made creation like Frankenstein
And quite frankly, I've been feeling insane in between my eyes
I feel crazy and confused inside my head
I really can't explain what I feel inside
I can't find the words to describe the emotions that I'm feeling
If you knew what I was you'd run and hide
If you knew the real me, you might be scared and avoid me
Many have tried to go into the night, Cross over the line and come back alive
Many people have tried to understand me, but not all have succeeded
But that's the price we pay when we living on the other side
This is the risk we take when we try to understand and connect with someone who is different from us

It's better if you don't understand
It's better if you don't understand
