The Other Side
Ron S. Peno & The Superstitions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living through fantasy
Things aren't always as they seem
A broken mind is never free
Fever dream and nightmare too
Waking up feeling askew
Her voice is coming closer, near
Instilling further dread and fear
Wasted by decision haste
You'll never be the better one
With choices you thought were fun
Undone she lies broken down
You've painted her like a clown
The tipping point is ever near
A sinking ship you've left to steer
Steer away from here
You are lost
Now that I'm on the other side
We don't need to wait no more
It don't need to hide again
Everything will be alright
Even with our caving in
I think that I've lost my mind
Maybe you a little too
Both of us are crazy
But it's something to do
Steer away from here
You are lost
Now that
I'm on the other side
Wonder
Make it
Today
Easy
Lost in time and
Stuck in space
Do you know the way back home?
Don't sail away if you can't see the water
Don't call it land unless you're shore (sure)
It may seems so counterintuitive
But you're the one that's lost at sea
Just call out if you need an anchor point
Don't drown while trying to stay afloat
The song "The Other Side" by Ron S. Peno & The Superstitions is a song that connotes an individual's perspective on their reality. It highlights the idea that what people perceive as reality could merely be a dream or a fantasy. The lyrics suggest that a person's broken mind can never be free and that they must learn to live with their inner demons. The song is about two individuals who are struggling with their own demons and are trying to make sense of their lives. They both believe that they have lost their minds and that they have gone crazy. However, they find solace in each other's company.
Line by Line Meaning
What if it was all a dream
What if everything that has happened so far was a figment of our imagination
Living through fantasy
Continuing to exist in a world of unrealistic notions
Things aren't always as they seem
What we perceive isn't always the truth
A broken mind is never free
A mind plagued with troubles can never be free of its fears
Fever dream and nightmare too
Suffering through both dreams of high fever and terrible nightmares
Waking up feeling askew
Feeling disoriented upon waking up from such dreams
Her voice is coming closer, near
A voice that instills dread and fear is getting closer
Instilling further dread and fear
Intensifying the already present feeling of angst and horror
Tears are streaming down her face
The person is crying uncontrollably
Wasted by decision haste
Regretting choices made in a hurry
You'll never be the better one
You cannot achieve greatness by making poor choices
With choices you thought were fun
Choosing the easy path instead of making the right choice
Undone she lies broken down
A person beaten down and demoralized by circumstances
You've painted her like a clown
Treated someone unfairly and made them a subject of ridicule
The tipping point is ever near
The situation is on the verge of getting out of hand
A sinking ship you've left to steer
A difficult and precarious situation left for someone to manage
Steer away from here
Avoid this place
You are lost
You are clueless or confused
Now that I'm on the other side
Having experienced enough to see things from a different perspective
We don't need to wait no more
We don't need to delay any further
It don't need to hide again
No need to conceal the truth any longer
Everything will be alright
Things will go back to normal
Even with our caving in
Despite feeling overwhelmed and giving in to certain things
I think that I've lost my mind
Feeling like you have gone crazy due to the complex situations one finds themselves in
Maybe you a little too
The person you're referring to may also be feeling the same
Both of us are crazy
Both of you are overwhelmed and struggling to make sense of things
But it's something to do
Numbness is better than feeling nothing at all
Wonder
Feeling intrigued or curious about something
Make it
Turn the dream into reality
Today
This very moment
Easy
Simple
Lost in time and
Feeling directionless with respect to time
Stuck in space
Feeling trapped or limited spatially
Do you know the way back home?
Asking if one knows the path to return to normalcy
Don't sail away if you can't see the water
Don't move if you can't see a clear path ahead
Don't call it land unless you're shore (sure)
Don't consider it a viable option unless you're completely confident about it
It may seems so counterintuitive
It may seem illogical
But you're the one that's lost at sea
You're the person who is struggling to make sense of things
Just call out if you need an anchor point
Ask for help if you need guidance
Don't drown while trying to stay afloat
Don't get overwhelmed by stress while trying to manage it
