The Other Side
Buddhist Monks The Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I feel the earth has no direction, nothing living on
And everyday I expect that something happens what shouldn???t be
Why don???t you give me your smile ? It will be so easy-y, yeah!
If you don???t, we???ll never know, never know each other
Don???t you want to know the other side ?

Living in norm I will ever need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight dance with me
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Hizen Dojo

The way is so long but you shouldn???t hesitate, no, no!
There are so many happinesses, sorrows you???ll have to go through
But at the end you will find yourself and a door
You will see the brightest light, let it wrap you, let you go
You will feel you were born again

Living in norm I will ever need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight dance with me
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Read out the prayers of religion and you'll be free
(Tam pe cho nam la kyab su chio)
Walking is slower than volplaning keep on going
(Pag pe gen dun nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Dojo (Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Dojo (Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Hizen Dojo (Tam pe cho nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Dojo-o-o-o-o (Pag pe gen dun nam la kyab su chio)

Living in norm I will ever need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight dance with me
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Read out the prayers of religion and you'll be free
(Tam pe cho nam la kyab su chio)
Walking is slower than volplaning keep on going




(Pag pe gen dun nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Doj

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "The Other Side" by Buddhist Monks The describe a feeling of disconnection from the world and a desire to find a deeper meaning to life. The singer expresses a sense of emptiness and a need for something to happen to break the monotony of everyday life. The lyrics suggest that the answer to this longing lies in connecting with others and exploring different perspectives, as the line "Don't you want to know the other side?" encourages the listener to seek out new experiences and viewpoints.


The song also refers to some Buddhist concepts and practices, such as the idea of breaking free from the constraints of the norm and the importance of prayer and meditation. The references to a Palden Lama, which means a "precious teacher" in Tibetan, and to the Dzogchen practice of "reaching sunlight" suggest a connection to Tibetan Buddhism.


The repetition of the phrase "Hizen Dojo" throughout the song may also be a reference to a Japanese Zen practice center of the same name, where practitioners come together to meditate and study Zen teachings.


Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes I feel the earth has no direction, nothing living on
At times, I feel lost in life and everything seems meaningless


And everyday I expect that something happens what shouldn???t be
Each day I anticipate unexpected occurrences beyond the normal routine


Why don???t you give me your smile ? It will be so easy-y, yeah!
Can you please share your happiness with me? It would uplift me easily


If you don???t, we???ll never know, never know each other
If you don't interact with me, we will remain strangers forever


Don???t you want to know the other side ?
Wouldn't you prefer to uncover what's beyond what you can see?


Living in norm I will ever need
I seek to live within the principles of my religion


If you want to reach sunlight dance with me
Join me in moving to a joyous beat, and we'll reach enlightenment together


Read out the prayers of religion and you'll be free
By reciting sacred texts, you'll experience liberation


Walking is slower than volplaning keep on going
Advancing through life step by step takes longer than gliding effortlessly towards our goal. Keep moving forward

You will see the brightest light, let it wrap you, let you go
You'll come face to face with divine light, let it envelop you and liberate your soul
