The Other Side
Emile Hayne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can only hope to slip away from them all
Because it numb my pain
That I was never quite enough for you
I was never quite enough for you
(It's hard to have nowhere to go)

I can only hope to slip away from them all
Because it numb my pain
That I was never quite enough for you
Cause I was never quite enough for you
(It's hard to have nowhere to go)

All my thoughts, all my dreams
All got caught in-between
All of my heart was never quite enough for you

And I will fight my way, I know
To the other side
Where you don't even matter no more
You're running out of time
I will fight my way, I know
To the other side
Where you don't even matter no more
You don't even matter no more

(You get caught in the fire when we launched it up)

I can only hope to slip away from them all
Because it numb my pain
That I was never quite enough for you
I was never quite enough for you
(It's hard to have nowhere to go)

All my thoughts, all your dreams
All got caught in-between
All of my heart was never quite enough for you





You don't even matter no more

The lyrics suggest that this person has caused them significant pain and that they are now seeking to escape from it. The repetition of the line "I was never quite enough for you" highlights the singer's feelings of inadequacy, and the repetition of "It's hard to have nowhere to go" conveys a sense of hopelessness and desperation.


The line "All my thoughts, all my dreams, all got caught in-between" implies that the singer's hopes and aspirations have been compromised or hindered by this person. Despite this, the singer is determined to fight their way to the other side, where this person no longer holds power over them. The "other side" is likely a metaphor for a place of healing and resolution.


Interestingly, the chorus also includes the line "You're running out of time", which suggests that the singer is aware of some kind of impending deadline or expiration date. This could refer to a relationship that is coming to an end, or a personal sense of urgency to move on from this painful situation.
