The Other Side
Malevolence Lyrics

Perseverance or just fate
Questioning whether the situation is requiring steadfast persistence or whether it is just a predetermined outcome.

Recalculate to set things straight
Changing plans or viewpoints in order to establish the correct course of action.

Depraved in darkness and terrified
Feeling morally corrupt and frightened of the unknown.

Of the other side
Referencing the afterlife or something unfamiliar and outside of the current experience.

Of the life I thought we made
Reflecting on a life that was assumed, but not accurate or true.

Broken promises, no shame
Disappointment over unfulfilled commitments and lack of remorse.

Choking realization of reality
Feeling overwhelmed by the revelation of the true situation.

My whole soul torn from me
Having a complete sense of identity and self-worth obliterated.

A burden that I cannot hold
A responsibility or hardship that is too heavy to bear without assistance.

Temptation burn my soul
Being consumed by an irresistible allure, causing internal turmoil.

I watched you fall
Witnessing someone's downfall or failure.

You let me fail
Feeling betrayed or abandoned by others who were supposed to offer support or guidance.

You let me become frail
Blaming others for allowing oneself to become weak or vulnerable.

Far too many times
Experiencing a repeating pattern of negative events.

We did not see what has made us blind
Failing to recognize the root cause of our problems or blindness to obvious issues.

They say all wounds will heal with time
Comforting phrase claiming that given enough time, the pain from emotional wounds will eventually disappear.

But I've been waiting
Expressing frustration with the lack of progress in recovering from past hurts.

I open my eyes, I cannot see
Frustration with the inability to see past the pain and finding happiness in the present.

I fill my lungs, I cannot breathe
Feeling suffocated or experiencing overwhelming anxiety.

But I still feel mine
Residual pain that has not healed with time.

And now I feel no more
Having a sense of emotional numbness or loss of feeling in response to repeated emotional trauma.

Hallucinations in the night
Experiencing vivid and sometimes frightening visions or nightmares.

Watching the love between us die
Observing the ending of a romantic relationship.

Still hear your voice in my mind
Experiencing intrusive thoughts or memories of a past or current romantic relationship.

Still see your face when I close my eyes
Having vivid memories of a past or current romantic relationship that are impossible to forget.

I'll always be waiting by your side
Desperately holding onto the hope of reconciliation or a rekindling of a romantic relationship.

Some are troubles all your own
Acknowledging that some problems are unique and personal to an individual and not shared by others.

Some are paths we walk alone
Realizing that some experiences must be endured individually, without the help or support of others.

No more can I be in silence surrounding me
Feeling the need to break free from the isolation and loneliness caused by emotional pain.

In silence surrounding me
Being trapped in a state of quiet despair and suffering alone.
