The Other Side
Red Moon Architect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Empty eyes staring into eternity
Just a broken machine
Ready to let go
Every day you see the world in colors
Wash them away to see mine
Take a leap to the other side
Through this parallel universe I live in
Feel the fear that defines us
And you'll see there's no god
In front of dark angel I shall kneel
And take what's been given
I scream and shout but my words are not carrying
Through this sky in this world forbidden
This anguish, it makes me crawl
It weakens my body
And sends me to the underworld
I fall
Every day you see the world in colors
Wash them away to see mine
Take a leap to the other side
In front of dark angel I shall kneel
And take what's been given
I scream and shout but my words are not carrying
Through this sky in this world forbidden
The lyrics to Red Moon Architect's song The Other Side describe a sense of detachment from oneself and the world around them. The singer depicts seeing themselves from an outsider's perspective, observing their own empty eyes staring into eternity, feeling like a broken machine that is ready to let go. Despite this bleak outlook, the singer also invites the listener to see the world through their eyes, encouraging them to take a leap to the other side and experience a parallel universe filled with fear and devoid of any higher power.
The song then takes a more ominous turn as the singer kneels before a dark angel and accepts what has been given to them. They scream and shout, but their words are not heard in this forbidden world, sending them crashing down to the underworld. The theme of surrendering to fate and the unknown is palpable throughout the lyrics, painting a picture of a desolate and hopeless existence.
Overall, The Other Side is a haunting meditation on the reality of our own limitations and the futility of resisting forces beyond our control. The lyrics paint a vivid, almost surreal image of a world both similar and vastly different from our own, and challenge listeners to consider their own place in the grand scheme of things.

I see myself from above
I gain an aerial perspective of myself
Empty eyes staring into eternity
My eyes are devoid of emotion as I stare out into an endless expanse of time
Just a broken machine
I am like a malfunctioning apparatus with no true purpose
Ready to let go
I am prepared to relinquish control over my existence
Every day you see the world in colors
Most people perceive the world with vibrancy and vivacity
Wash them away to see mine
Remove those perceptions and adopt mine instead
Take a leap to the other side
Embark on a journey to a new reality
Through this parallel universe I live in
Within an alternate reality, I exist
Feel the fear that defines us
Internalize and confront the fear that shapes our being
And you'll see there's no god
By doing so, you will realize that there is no divinity or higher power governing our lives
In front of dark angel I shall kneel
Before a deity of darkness, I will bow
And take what's been given
I accept the consequences bestowed upon me
I scream and shout but my words are not carrying
Despite my desperate cries, my words fall upon deaf ears
Through this sky in this world forbidden
Amidst forbidden land and void of a tangible reality, I persist
This anguish, it makes me crawl
My grief and sorrow reduce me to a crawling state
It weakens my body
It saps my physical strength as well
And sends me to the underworld
This pain casts me into a realm of shadows and death
I fall
I succumb to my pain and surrender
