Pink Cream 69 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

See a light
not a phonic sound or a soul around
Isolation
I'm gonna do my time

I'm on the other side
The other side

Block out my anger
I tried to push and shove my way above
I surrender
I found my hidden peace

I'm on the other side
The other side
I'm on the other side
The other side

Fly, leave the world behind you
Dive out of the greed of mankind

See the light
Gonna let it shine, leave my fears behind
Nothing can shake me
I'm no longer scared

Fly, leave the world behind you
Dive out of the greed of mankind

I'm on the other side
The other side
I'm on the other side
The other side

I found that phonic sound
I found not a soul around
I'm gonna let it shine
Leave all my fears behind
Block out my anger
Block out my anger

I've found my way above
I surrender

Overall Meaning

The song "Other Side" by Pink Cream 69 seems to be about the struggle of isolation and the journey towards finding inner peace. The opening lyrics suggest a sense of loneliness, as the singer sees a light but there is no one around to share it with. This feeling of being isolated and alone seems to result in the singer having to "do [their] time" to find their way to the other side. As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges their anger and frustration, but ultimately comes to the realization that pushing and shoving will not make things better. By surrendering and letting go, they find "hidden peace" and are able to cross over to the other side.

The lyrics also paint a picture of leaving the material things of this world behind and diving out of the greed of mankind. There is a call to fly and let the light shine, while leaving fears behind. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea of being on the other side, a place where the singer is no longer scared and has found a way above their anger.

The song appears to be a reflection on the struggle to find inner peace despite the challenges of isolation and anger. It is a call to let go and surrender to find a new way forward.
