The Other Side
Monjes Budistas Sakya Tashi Ling Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I feel the earth has no direction, nothing living on
And everyday I expect that something happens what shouldn???t be
Why don???t you give me your smile ? It will be so easy-y, yeah!
If you don???t, we???ll never know, never know each other
Don???t you want to know the other side ?

Living in norm I will ever need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight dance with me
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Hizen Dojo

The way is so long but you shouldn???t hesitate, no, no!
There are so many happinesses, sorrows you???ll have to go through
But at the end you will find yourself and a door
You will see the brightest light, let it wrap you, let you go
You will feel you were born again

Living in norm I will ever need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight dance with me
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Read out the prayers of religion and you'll be free
(Tam pe cho nam la kyab su chio)
Walking is slower than volplaning keep on going
(Pag pe gen dun nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Dojo (Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Dojo (Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Hizen Dojo (Tam pe cho nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Dojo-o-o-o-o (Pag pe gen dun nam la kyab su chio)

Living in norm I will ever need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight dance with me
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Read out the prayers of religion and you'll be free
(Tam pe cho nam la kyab su chio)
Walking is slower than volplaning keep on going




(Pag pe gen dun nam la kyab su chio)

Overall Meaning

The Monjes Budistas Sakya Tashi Ling's song Other Side talks about feeling lost in the world, and expecting something to happen that shouldn't be happening. The lyrics suggest that if they receive a smile, they will be happy and could know each other more. The song advocates for not being hesitant on the way to pursue happiness, going through happiness and sorrows, and finding oneself and a door at the end. The door leads to the brightest light that will wrap and set them free, and this freedom brings a sense of rebirth.


The song starts by the singer feeling hopeless and directionless, as if nothing is alive on earth. They wait for something strange to happen as they long for connection and a smile. They urge the listener to take the chance to explore the 'other side' which emphasizes the importance of stepping outside of one's comfort zone. They tell the listener to dance with them to reach the light and read out the prayers of religion to gain freedom from the trials of life, and to keep moving forward even when walking is slower than volplaning.


The song has a deep spiritual message that can be interpreted in several ways. The idea of searching for the 'other side' might be a metaphor for exploring other cultures or ways of life, whereas the door leading to the brightest light could signify enlightenment or reaching one's potential. The song promotes the idea of living in the present moment, experiencing life's adventures instead of simply going through the motions of daily routines.
