The Other Side
Hyde Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And the sea
Waits to bring me down
Drown me in its waves
Still I have no doubt
This meaning of life
Wearing this shroud
I've journeyed long
I've seen so many worlds
in my time
Wandering far and back again
My soul is getting worn
And the happiness
like a firework
How it shone, now it's gone
And the sea
Waits to bring me down
Drown me in its waves
Still I have no doubt
This meaning of life

I know that darkness
follows light
I see the traps that
stand in my way
I'll use my head to
make it through
Believers get it tough
Everything I cherished
so dearly
Wasn't love, wasn't love
And the sea
Waits to bring me down
Drown me in its waves
Still I have no doubt
Though my flesh
Perishes in time
I will reach the shore




On the other side
This meaning of life ...
