The Other Side
Dexter Freebish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It seems a little darker on the other side
And I get a spotlight for some peace of mind
A brand new reflection, another direction
To take my life to the other side
She could melt the sun, she could freeze the moon
If she only wanted to, if she needed to
The world is inviting, yet so paralyzing
She could give me life, yeah

I wanna see you on the other side
I wanna see you on the other side
I wanna see you on the other side
I wanna see you on the other side

I lost myself inside your great divide
A sticky situation I don't seem to mind
A mental uprising is so compromising
I find myself slipping back in time
I'm trapped within your world where all the color swirl
In this universe where you are my girl
Am I just dreaming
Cause everything seems just like paradise?

I wanna see you on the other side
I wanna see you on the other side
I wanna see you on the other side
(Your presence surrounds me
And keeps me from drowning inside the black)
I wanna see you on the other side
(Daylight releases but the brightness
Just keeps me from coming back)

You're scared that I'll forget you, is it true?
Maybe you'll believe me when it's through
Can I prove my feelings for you?
We've got to know straight on through

I wanna see you on the other side
(I wanna see you on the other side)
I wanna see you on the other side
(I wanna see you on the other side)
I wanna see you on the other side
(I wanna see you, yeah, can I see you on the other side?)
I wanna see you on the other side

I wanna see you on the other side
(Your presence surrounds me
And keeps me from drowning inside the black)
I wanna know, can I see you?
(Daylight releases but the brightness
Just keeps me from coming back)
I wanna see you on the other side
Other side
(Your presence surrounds me
And keeps me from drowning inside the black)
I wanna see you on the other side
(Daylight releases but the brightness
Just keeps me from coming back)

I wanna see you on the other side
I wanna see you, I wanna see you




I wanna see you on the other side, on the other side
Can I see...

Line by Line Meaning

It seems a little darker on the other side
The unknown future appears daunting and uncertain


And I get a spotlight for some peace of mind
I'm seeking an opportunity to find clarity and direction


A brand new reflection, another direction
An opportunity to start anew and explore uncharted paths


To take my life to the other side
To embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation


She could melt the sun, she could freeze the moon
Her power to affect everything around her is immense


If she only wanted to, if she needed to
She has the ability to control everything but chooses not to


The world is inviting, yet so paralyzing
The world is full of possibilities, but the overwhelming feeling of uncertainty is stifling


She could give me life, yeah
She has the ability to transform and enhance my life


I wanna see you on the other side
I long to join you in a journey of growth and exploration


I lost myself inside your great divide
I became lost and uncertain in the space between us


A sticky situation I don't seem to mind
Despite the confusion, I'm willing to accept the current circumstance


A mental uprising is so compromising
The emotional conflict is taking a toll on my mental state


I find myself slipping back in time
I'm stuck dwelling on past circumstances and unable to move forward


I'm trapped within your world where all the color swirl
My perception of reality is distorted by my feelings for you


In this universe where you are my girl
You hold a significant place in my world and my heart


Am I just dreaming
I'm questioning the possibility of this reality being a figment of my imagination


Cause everything seems just like paradise?
Despite the uncertainty, everything feels perfect when I'm with you


You're scared that I'll forget you, is it true?
You fear that I'll move on and forget about you


Maybe you'll believe me when it's through
Perhaps in the end, you'll trust that my feelings for you are genuine


Can I prove my feelings for you?
I'm willing to do what it takes to demonstrate the depth of my love


We've got to know straight on through
We need to be honest and transparent with each other


Other side
The unknown future that lies ahead

Dexter Freebish is an amazing band that write fantastic music. Their videos are tragically under-funded and not what they could be. I've been a fan since their first album back in 1999.
