The Other Side
No Fun at All Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see the light, the shiny, shiny neon
Rain in my eyes partially blind
Shiny, shiny neon
Don't know what I'll find
I'm hoping for the good life
Walking around biding my time
Waiting for the good life
So I'm going over to the other side,
And I do
Oh I'm going over to the other side,
And I do tonight alright

I'm crossing the line of lasting, lasting reasons
Pride in my eyes, totally blind
Lasting, lasting reasons
I'm having no doubts
No chance of hesitation
Shadow inside burn so bright
Chance of hesitation

I was in a coma
Deep down drifting from reality
Then a sweet aroma and I knew I was alive
I was in a coma
Deep down drifting from reality




Then a sweet aroma and I knew I was alive
In time I'll be doing fine
