Bruno Mars feat. Cee Lo Green & B.o.B 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 wont know what it's like
Until you try
You know I
I've been 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've been 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've been 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've been 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 cant explain what I feel inside
If you knew what I was you's would 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've been 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've been 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" is about two people, one of whom is complicated and lives in the shadows while the other is straightforward and lives in the light. The person living in the shadows has been waiting for the other person to cross over to the other side and join them in their world. The song highlights the idea that people can live very different lives and yet, it is possible for them to find a way to be together if one is willing to make an effort.
The singer of the song admits that he is complicated and lives in the shadows, while the other person is straightforward and lives in the light. He tells the other person that they won't understand what it's like to live in his world until they try it. He's been waiting for them to join him in his world, and all they have to do is cross the line. The singer is willing to wait for as long as it takes for the other person to make a decision.
The lyrics of the song also talk about how life is not always what it seems, and once you cross the line, there's no going back. The person singing the song admits that he is a monster, but he's not Frankenstein. He feels a sense of insanity and can't explain what he feels inside. The person singing the song warns that once you cross over to the other side, there's a price to pay, and many have tried and failed.

Truth of the matter is I'm complicated
I am a complex person and not easy to understand.

You are a straightforward person.
You go 'bout your day baby
while I hide from the sun
You live a normal life while I stay hidden from the world.
It's better if you don't understand
Cause you wont know what it's like
Until you try
It's difficult to explain my situation, and you wouldn't understand unless you experience it yourself.
You know I
I've been waiting on the other side

I could wait a whole life time

I have been waiting for you to take a chance and cross over to the unknown, even if it takes a long time.
We would live forever
Who could ask for more
You could die if you wanted

We could have an eternal life together, but why would you want to die?
If they say life's a dream
call this insomnia
'Cause this ain't Wonderland
it damn sure ain't Narnia
If they say life is a dream, then my life is the opposite of a dream; it's like insomnia. It's not a magical place like Wonderland or Narnia.
And once you cross the line
you can't change your mind
Yeah I'm a monster
but I'm no Frankenstein
If you take the leap of faith and cross over to the unknown, you can't turn back. Although I may seem like a monster, I am not someone to be feared like Frankenstein.
And quite frankly
I've been feeling insane in between my eyes
I really cant explain what I feel inside
If you knew what I was you's would 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
I have been feeling crazy and unable to explain my feelings. If you knew what I'm going through, you would be scared. Many have tried to experience the unknown and come back alive, but it's a dangerous journey with its own risks.
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
It's better if you don't try to understand me and my situation.
