The Other Side
My Dog's A Cat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bright flashes of existence they're merely
Dancing reflections on my sunglusses
I'm an observer watching with sarcastic smile
I've learnt how to deal with the pain
Now it's your turn and I enjoy

I'm on the other side
Of good and evil
Don't come to me whining
'Cause I've got nothing for you
I'm on the other side
Of good and evil
Whatching with sarcastic smile as your bleed
Just like me

Little dirty secrets vicious and exciting
They just don't move me 'cause I know what happens next
See you on pedestal and then I watch you fall
To the darkest depths of hell
That's where I am
I enjoy your pain

Your fascinating search for pain is neverending
You can care less for me but I'm still here
Here on the other side of good and evil
Watching with sarcastic smile as you bleed
Just like me





On the other side on the other side watching you bleed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of My Dog's A Cat's song The Other Side are intriguing and require careful analysis to comprehend the underlying meaning. The artist sings about being on the other side of good and evil, where they have learned to deal with the pain of life. They observe others with a sarcastic smile, enjoying their pain and inevitable downfall. The opening lines suggest that the flashes of existence are merely fleeting, and the artist perceives them as dancing reflections on their sunglasses. This could mean that life is short, and everything in it is transient.


The artist then goes on to describe themselves as an observer who has learned to deal with the pain of life, and now watches others as they grapple with their own pain. They are no longer affected by it, and their disdain for others' suffering is evident in the tone of their voice. The chorus repeats the phrase, "I'm on the other side of good and evil," emphasizing the artist's detachment from emotions and their cold, unyielding nature. The artist warns others not to come whining to them because they have nothing to give.


The lyrics then focus on the artist's fascination with the darker side of life, where little dirty secrets are hidden, and painful experiences are thrilling. Their detachment makes them apathetic to the victim's suffering and relishing in their downfall. The closing lines emphasize the artist's disconnection from emotions, and their pleasure in watching others bleed is synonymous with their own suffering.

Wet "and" dried food. Eating dried food on a daily basis is boring and un-appetizing 🙄

Imagine eating bread daily???!!! 😒

We humans wants varieties and yet we treat our furry friends differently.

We have the same anatomy. A heart that loves. And a stomach that craves food. Variety ones ❤

Hopefully the kitten now have some food of his own.

I love how Toast’s owner just calls it “the kitten” or “the cat” when Toast is clearly full protective mom mode.
