Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If something's going on, girl, you'd already know
We can't even say two words without a fight anymore
How did we get here? Baby, I gotta know
On the other side of love
You tell me you hate me and I hate you more
On the other side of love
Hey, baby girl, longevity
Is a thing what you get with love
Trust and good livity
So listen me and just believe
And we make you stop from gwan like we are enemy
'Cause most definite
Without you in my life, my girl, it would be desperate
Cah me cyaan' me forget all the times when you had my back
Gyal, you give me many strength, hundred percent
So I represent when you represent
I'm the president, you ah my first lady
Girl, you Heaven sent, have me first baby
I told you girl when you first met me
It's a crazy world, nothing come free
Baby, you don't have to keep looking through my phone
If something's going on, girl, you'd already know
We can't even say two words without a fight anymore
How did we get here? Baby, I gotta know (see it deh)
On the other side of love
You tell me you hate me and I hate you more
On the other side of love
How did we get here? Baby, I gotta know (real talk)
Girl, I 'member when you first gave it up
And we began to first live it up

In the song "The Other Side" by Paul and The Patients, the singer is confronting his partner about their troubled relationship. He questions how they got to a point where they can't even have a conversation without fighting, and wonders if there's something going on that he's unaware of. However, he also expresses his love for her and emphasizes the importance of trust and communication in a successful relationship. The title "The Other Side" refers to the darker, more difficult aspects of love, where hate, mistrust, and jealousy can take over if partners don't work to maintain their connection.
The first verse sets the tone of the song by establishing the singer's frustration with the current state of his relationship. He acknowledges that things have soured between them and wants to know how they got there. The chorus emphasizes the contrast between the good and bad sides of love, where passion and affection can quickly turn into anger and bitterness. The following verse has the singer reminiscing about the early days of their relationship when they were happy and carefree. He notes the lack of trust in their current dynamic, with his partner checking his phone for signs of infidelity and demanding that he swear his loyalty. The final chorus repeats the conflicting emotions felt by both partners in their troubled relationship.
Overall, "The Other Side" is a lament for a relationship that has lost its spark and a plea for partners to maintain trust and love in the face of adversity. The song raises questions about the nature of love and how it can overcome the challenges of jealousy, mistrust, and insecurity.

I know exactly where your coming from with the anxiety attacks heres just a little story of mine:
I’ve always been a skeptical person and I will only fully believe in something if I have “undebunkable“ evidence. I guess and would hope you would call that just being normal but anyway here’s my story:
About 2 months ago I was having existential thoughts as u do. But one night I was lay in bed when all of a sudden the existential dread kicked in on full blast. I sat up with a sudden jolt and began panicking. (If you’ve had this existential dread u know the feeling) honestly this was the worst feeling I’ve ever had the most dread and hopelessness, fear, whatever, I’ve ever experience in my 18 years. It must have been about 10 seconds I was in this frenzy and I just began saying to myself ”god please, god please“ with the intention that I would get some form of confirmation. u have to know this is the most desperate I’ve ever been!!!
So I went back to bed All calm and content again. Fell asleep and that’s when I dreamt. (This is important for what happens later) basically I dreamt quite an extended dream of being on some sort of camping ground setting. The only 2 things that really stand out tho are this one girl and the showers. (Yes I know this sounds crude but stay with me) The girl was someone I knew from my old school not a close friend or even a friend really just a nice girl whos identity I knew lol thats all. The dreams main situation played out like this: I was having having a shower and I got this girl to pass me a towel cuz I didn’t have one. (Yeah I know stay with me)😂😂 btw Im not a big dreamer (if I do it’s very rare)
so I woke up and didn’t think much about the dream but I did think of this girl so much so I checked her Instagram (I’m not a crazed stalker im sure we all do from time to time) The day continuEd and eventually it was time for me to go run round town. As I left the house a guy on a speedy skateboard thing flew past me. Thought it was fast and so I found it interesting. I ran and passed this skater a second time which was strangely right outside of my dead great grandparents house. I kept running cuz fitness is my passion and at the point where I start running back towards my house I saw the girl of my dreams (lol no I saw that exact girl who was in my dream last night) it was about 20 seconds after I passed her that I thought what a coincidence 😂😂😂. i Run around the small town a lot and never seen her before. Hell, I don’t even think she lives in the town. kept running saw the skater a third time Almost immediately after passing this girl. (These coIncidences are so amazing I’m crying right now legit!!)
so got back and naturally had a shower. However there was no towel (there’s always a frickin towel in my bathroom ffs😂😂) (if you’ve followed along you’ll know that I have to be passed a towel in my dream so there’s another coincidence. If this was not enough to make me think how’d dafuq that happen the next day after that I went for a walk with a friend Where he told me the girl and the skater are cousins.
well, well done for making it to the end. I’ve tried including as much detail as possible cuz I think that’s the only way you could properly understand the true craziness of what happened. I think the key takeaway is that I was so desperate and hopeless that night that I asked for confirmation of something and I got it in the form of these crazy coincidences that happened in a short 24hour period.
After that experience I have not had an existential crisis lol and I am looking towards god more than I was before. I’m not a diehard religious person I never have been but after that I suddenly felt more at peace and now take more interest in God. i found this sufficient confirmation.

I've never had a near-death experience, but I do remember and dream that I had a couple years ago.
Back in February of 2016, I lost my grandmother to illnesses related to emphysema and pneumonia, and I was heartbroken over her death. I'd never gotten to say a proper goodbye. I went to her wake the weekend after her death, but that was it.
But then, about a year and a half later, I saw her again. In the dream.
In the dream, I was revisiting my biological father's house (even though I'd had no plans of ever going back there), and I saw someone sitting on the porch.... An old lady in her late seventies/early eighties, short with glasses and light caramel hair. It was my grandmother! She was wearing these clothes I'd never seen her before -- burgundy clothes with a wool sweater of the same color -- but it was her!
I ran to her, and cried into her chest, and we just held each other for a long time. It felt like we were finally having that proper closure we didn't get to have back in 2016.
Then, from out of nowhere, I asked her: "How is everything *up there*?"
And you know what she said to me? "Everything's fine up here. Everything's fine."
I woke up before she could explain what "up there" was, but I'm almost certain that it was Heaven, or at least an afterlife of sorts.
When I think back to that dream, I'm comforted with the knowledge and possibility that there's a life after death, and that we'll all be reunited with the people we love when our time comes. In fact, I'm almost sure that it exists, and that there will be a place of warmth and comfort for our souls when we leave this mortal plane of existence.
Thank you, Grandma, for reaching out to me when you did. And don't worry... we'll see each other again. Someday.
Bernard A. Rosario
The Remnant speaks, the servants of God whom God has chosen for his holy abode. And we bring to the world a greater clarity on things spiritual, should we find listening ears.
We must learn to listen well to the words of God, our Creator. We must tremble and fear at his spoken and revealed word as King. Jesus Christ has come to fulfill and further reveal the will of the Father. And Jesus spoke of the necessity of judgment.
We as mere uninstructed humans are imperfect creatures. We serve our flesh to satisfy ouselves rather than serve God with fear; we love darkness more than choosing the light! Alas, for this is Scriptural. And so, God's word shall surely run swiftly--it shall enter windows like a thief! It must fulfill its given purpose, which is to judge, in order that God may spare repenting hearts from an otherwise certain doom. Otherwise, the eyes of the blind would remain blindfolded.
Confirming_Verses:
"the Lord roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem..." -[Joel 3:16]
"And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." -[John 3:19]
"Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root will be as rottenness, and their blossom go up like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel." -[Isaiah 5:24]
Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind." -[John 9:39]
"Hear, you deaf; and look, you blind, that you may see! Who is blind but my servant, or deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is blind as my dedicated one, or blind as the servant of the Lord?" -[Isaiah 42:18-19]
Pam McCAGH
When I was twenty-eight years old, I took an overdose and found myself going through an out of body experience. I watched myself being placed on a table.
The doctor was there with a young nurse and I could hear him talking very loudly. I felt myself sitting up and then standing behind them, but my feet were not on the floor. I had started to rise but not up or sideways and I could sense having a wider view of things.
I could see everything without moving my eyes or my body, I kept hearing myself pleading with them to let me die, but they would not listen. I could feel a tremendous weight on my chest - the pain was unbelievable, it shook my whole body.
Then I felt the entire pain going. I felt myself drifting. I heard music, but it was not like any music that I had ever heard before. The music was calling me from the bottom of my soul.
I was going to look back but someone called telling me “Don’t look back.” I felt such a power of love circulating around me, taking me wherever, but I did not care.
The love was so strong I found peace that you could never explain - that feeling of being loved and belonging, knowing someone was waiting for me. I did not know who but I did not care. Then from nowhere came a voice telling me to go back.
I pleaded with all my heart, not to send me back. She said that I would find contentment with life of an unspoken time of communication, that life had not finalized itself with me that my time was not now.
The next thing I felt was a huge jolt and I was back on the bed; my sense of hearing was gone - not that I could not hear what was going on around me, but the loss of hearing people calling me with great love. I believe came back from the dead, to tell their stories.
I have since been told it was the call of God. Story by Pam McCagh
It was not until years later that I realised why I was sent back.
I was given the gift of automatic writing, I listen to the lost souls, telling me their stories of their life and death experiences.
I have listened to over 750 written 18 books and I have won four awards I’m still listening today.
I write their words down word for word and their stories are beautiful. some are sad. Some are beautiful love stories. But most of all in each and every story that is a message there for someone. to find peace and the understanding why they lost their love ones

It's so real because it happened to me. I wasn't fortunate enough to travel to 'the light' but after being hit by a car at the young age of 17 I was not in my body rather I was above my body & witnessed everything going on around the area. I'm now 70 & have always said that death is nothing to fear & death is not painful. I believe that there is great knowledge & beauty beyond this life.

I'm 61 and have had two NDEs which were love filled but also a spontaneous OBE where I rose above the planet . It was glorious. Midnight blue watching silver gossamer strands going from earth to sky and some even beyond our solar system. The comfort of the unknown without fear. All blessings to you.🔭🌌🙋🙏📿

My wife, who was my true love for 50 years, passed away unexpectedly in 2019. While she is physically gone, she is very much alive to me, somewhere else, but still very close. I hope it's wonderful. The rest of my life I will look forward to being with her again. That would be my heaven.
