Side B
S & S Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you could feel your legs falling out then
You might find your strength to stand your
Ground then you'd be close to them
Then you'd be close to god but you
Know you're not

If you could make a fist you could punch
If you could fly your faith you could jump
Born in security fear of most everything
And anyone you can be

It could have been dull Kristina
We could have been sane it isn't just death
Drugs and lost love these honors leave
Stains just let the freaks of failure sing over-
Night songs the b side is real and it
Plays on

Hey Kristina are you sleeping in I'm
Leaving you another long message
Interstate ten I lost my voice again this
Game was fixed it seems that I've been
Eighty-sixed

But your life is one zero zero one in
Analog faith and even if you connect
Them too little too late 'cause your life
Is like a b side its odder then a the
B side is real and it plays on





On and on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of S & S's song SIDE B reflect an introspective and introspective perspective on life, and perhaps the conflict between one's desires and realities. The opening lines suggest that losing one's legs or support might actually give them the strength to stand their ground and get closer to God. However, the singer acknowledges that this is unlikely, implying that they feel detached from the spiritual realm. The following lines explore the idea of taking action - if one had the ability to make a fist or fly, they could punch or jump. But the repetition of "if" suggests that these are just hypotheticals, and the singer is resigned to fear and insecurity.


The chorus introduces the concept of an alternative reality, where things might have been different - "It could have been dull Kristina / We could have been sane." The use of the word "honors" in "these honors leave stains" could refer to academic or social awards, suggesting that even things perceived as accomplishments can have negative consequences. The final lines of the chorus imply that the singer finds solace in music, particularly the "freaks of failure" who sing on the B-side. The repetition of "real" and "plays on" emphasizes the power and importance of music as an expression and escape.


Overall, the lyrics of SIDE B are complex and layered, blending themes of spirituality, personal struggle, and escapism through music. The use of hypotheticals and alternative realities suggests that the singer is grappling with feelings of disappointment and regret, but is finding comfort in the B-side of life, where the weird and wonderful thrive.
