The Other Side
J.K. Wiechert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Call me
Tell me you're out
Force me into the doubt
It's been a little while
Since you last came around
Footsteps
Traces on the ground
Where I'm going
I won't be found
Though your life is changing
Don't let it get you down
Try to keep both feet
On the ground
If your chest opens wide
I'll be waiting on the other side




For the trust we keep in time
We won't have to walk the line

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for J.K. Wiechert's "The Other Side" are quite cryptic and leave much room for interpretation. The song starts with a humming sound and a repetition of "hmm". The first line is "When I spit your love on my face", which is quite graphic and could refer to either a sexual act or a metaphor for being treated poorly by someone. The line "You treat me like behind but wait, you want me this" is confusing but possibly alludes to someone treating the singer badly but still wanting to be with them.


The lines "I know they like, I wasn't overwatch for this" and "I did it, sump" are quite elusive, but could possibly mean that the singer was unprepared for the negative treatment they received from the person they are singing to. The chorus seems to focus on the singer's need for the person they are singing to, saying "Oh, I need you, girl, the way, aka, I did it" and "Get you on my mind in their house, you know I can be there alone". This again could either refer to a sexual desire or the need for companionship from the person they are singing to.


The final lines of the song are "It's the other side of me", which suggests that the song is about exploring a different side of oneself or possibly exploring a different kind of relationship. Overall, the lyrics of "The Other Side" are enigmatic and leave much up to interpretation.


Line by Line Meaning

When I spit your love on my face
When I experience your love, it feels intense and overwhelming


You treat me like behind but wait, you want me this
You act like you don't care about me, but deep down you actually want me


I know they like, I wasn't overwatch for this
I know others didn't expect me to be in this situation, but here I am


I did it, sump
I made this happen, I took action


And when I'm gone
When I'm not around anymore


The way you love me, oh, I know, I know, I get it (Get it)
I understand the depth of your love for me


And by the time I figured out you could admit it
I realized that you could confess your feelings


I know you know, I know I got it every minute (Every minute)
I am aware that you know I am always there for you


Oh, I need you, girl, the way, aka, I did it
I need you just the way you are


Fuck you up
You are affecting me in a powerful, possibly negative way


We did on ride with a hell
We went through something difficult together


Think ain't no crime with a bomb, with a shell (Shit)
We did something risky, but it was worth it


Caught me on the way with jam
You caught me in a moment of vulnerability


It's 5:30 in the morning
It's the early hours of the day, I can't sleep


I can spit you all the wounding
I can confess all my emotional pain to you


Get you on my mind in their house
I can't stop thinking about you even when I'm somewhere else


You know I can be there alone
You know I can handle being by myself


When I'm gone
When I'm no longer around


This
You want me, despite how you sometimes treat me


And I know
I am aware


And when I'm gone
When I'm no longer present


It's the other side of me
My absence reveals a different part of myself
