Two Sides
Floor Jansen & After Forever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
My fight is just one of their struggles
And have I seen it all Oh no,now their hate's reaching the top
And guess who's to blame,and guess who's responsible
If pain is our line,
The one that connects us in life,should we hold on
Life should be more than this,should be warmer than this
Cause there's more grief and pain,oh yes
There is more than what I caused,
And their eyes reflect things they'll never say out loud
If pain is our line,
The one that connects us in life,should we hold on
Our dreams,ambitions and passion
Our plans for the future,our combined goals
A life with status,respect and adoration
Our wishes and hope destroyed at once
Without those things to connect us,
A life together is even worse than alone
We all need two sides of the story
Two sides,one can become a reflection
Of the truth,a lie
You'll be judging soon
Two sides,they both have their emotions,opinions and thoughts
On who's to blame on reality,can you tell
Can you tell
If pain is our line
The one that connects us in lief,should we hold on (x2)
The lyrics of "Two Sides" by Floor Jansen & After Forever delve into the complexities of relationships and the different perspectives that can arise within them. The song begins by highlighting a sense of worsening situations and struggles where the singer's fight is just one among many. They express witnessing escalating hate and blame being assigned to someone, possibly themselves, for the negative circumstances unfolding around them.
The chorus introduces the concept of pain as a shared experience that connects individuals in life, raising the question of whether it is worth holding on to this connection despite the challenges and suffering it may bring. The feelings of shame and longing for a more meaningful and warm existence are palpable, as the singer grapples with the impact of their actions on others and the unspoken emotions reflected in their eyes.
The second verse delves into the shattered dreams, ambitions, and shared goals that have been destroyed, leading to a sense of isolation even in the presence of others. The song suggests that without these common aspirations and connections, a life together can be even more harrowing than being alone, emphasizing the need for both sides of a story to be acknowledged and understood.
The repeated mention of "two sides" underscores the complexity of human relationships and the variety of emotions, opinions, and perspectives that each person brings to the table. The lyrics prompt the listener to consider the blurred lines between truth and lies, judgment, and the intricate interplay of blame, emotions, and reality within a collective experience. The haunting question posed in the concluding lines challenges the listener to navigate the intricacies of pain as a unifying force and to contemplate the value of holding onto connections despite the inherent difficulties they may present.
