The Other Side
Paul Van Dyk feat. Wayne Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When this broken trough,
I will comfort you,
When I wait my longest time,
Daylight brings the great divide,
We weeping like the rain,
Whispering your name,
Long to be with you divide,
Believe the sunrise,
When I reach the light,
I will see you on the other side.

And till the sun will shine,
When I reach the light,
See you on the other side.

[Repeat: x4]
See you on the other side,
When I closed my eyes.

Speeding City lights,
Leavening week tonight,
Oh I miss you once inside,
Stars came out to shine,
Across the waterline,
I can feel you on the other side.

See you on the other side,
When I closed my eyes,
And I reached the lights.

See you on the other side,
When I closed my eyes.

See you on the other side,
When I closed my eyes,
And I reached the lights.

See you on the other side,
When I closed my eyes.





See you on the other side!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Paul Van Dyk feat. Wayne Jackson's song The Other Side is a song about longing for someone who is not physically present, and finding comfort in the hope of being reunited on the other side. The song starts by acknowledging that the singer and the person they are longing for have been through difficult times ("when this broken trough"), and that the singer will be a source of comfort for the other person. The line "daylight brings the great divide" suggests that their physical separation is painful, and that the daylight only serves to highlight how far apart they are.


The chorus repeats the phrase "see you on the other side" multiple times, as if repeating the mantra will help make it come true. In the second verse, the song mentions the bustling city lights and how lonely the singer feels without their loved one. The stars serve as a symbol of hope and remind the singer that their loved one is still out there, shining like a star on the other side.


Overall, the song is emotional and raw, capturing the feeling of missing someone dearly and the hope of being reunited someday. The dreamlike quality of the music adds to the feeling of longing and the ethereal quality of the lyrics.


Line by Line Meaning

When this broken trough,
When this emotional pain subsides,


I will comfort you,
I will support you through it,


When I wait my longest time,
When I'm at my most patient,


Daylight brings the great divide,
The coming of daylight signifies a split between night and day,


We weeping like the rain,
We're crying like the rain,


Whispering your name,
Muttering your name under the breath,


Long to be with you divide,
Desiring to be with you despite the separation,


Believe the sunrise,
Trust in the power of a new day to bring about change,


When I reach the light,
When I achieve a state of enlightenment,


I will see you on the other side.
I will finally be with you on the other side of this hardship.


And till the sun will shine,
Until the arrival of a new day,


See you on the other side,
I will be with you on the other side of this struggle,


When I closed my eyes.
When I take a moment to escape the present and imagine a better future.


Speeding City lights,
Fast-moving lights of a city district,


Leavening week tonight,
Making tonight feel less empty,


Oh I miss you once inside,
I miss the feeling of being with you,


Stars came out to shine,
Stars can still shine even in the midst of darkness,


Across the waterline,
Overlooking the water's edge,


I can feel you on the other side.
I can sense your presence on the other side of this difficulty.


See you on the other side!
I look forward to being with you on the other side of this challenge.

When this broken through
I will comfort you
When I wake my tongue is tied
Daylight brings the great divide

Weeping like the rain
Whispering your name
Long to be reunified
Believe the sun will rise
When I reach the light
I will see you on the other side

See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes

See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes

Speeding City lights
Leave me weak tonight
Oh I miss your warmth inside
Stars came out to shine
Across the waterline
I can feel you on the other side

See you on the other side
When I close my eyes and I reach the light
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes

See you on the other side
When I close my eyes and I reach the light

See you on the other side
When I closed my eyes

This song helped me through loss, and I hear the lyrics as the separation between death and life, yet we always feel in life what we have known in death (not our own)... The other side is beyond sorrow, beyond our own comprehension...

This song hits me every time and feels good..

Most beautiful video I have ever seen in my life.
Brings me to tears every time I watch it.
Thank you. ❤️

It's very cute and sweet and it does have depth but it could have been better where either the dog saves a dying man by resuscitating immerse something or getting him help or showing that he dies and the dog ends up maybe at his grave or something even deeper

Scyllarus

I think the song is more about the loss of a loved one and the connection you feel with them even though they're gone. The little dog, IMO, symbolizes or has replaced whoever the man lost - someone who takes care of him and who he takes care of. The "angels" seem to act through the dog - the lottery ticket - and I think strengthens this explanation. The person he's missing is still there and looking out for him. This song makes me cry, it's so sad.

This song makes me cry. I think of my Grandparents... RIP 💖
