The Other Side
Sirenia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sail away, my little sister
Sail away to the other side

There's a light and a darkened road
There's a night and a fading hope
There was a dream that once was mine
But now it seems it has passed with time
Sail away, my little sister
Sail away to the other side
Sail away, my little sister
Sail away far into the night
Where time seems much better
Than this void called life

There's a voice inside my head
There's a hope, now long since dead
It's all a wonder, will I abide?
I hear you calling from the other side
I hear you calling from the other side

Sail away, my little sister
Sail away to the other side
Sail away, my little sister
Sail away far into the night
Where times seems much better
Than this void called life

I hear you calling from the other side

Sail away, my little sister
Sail away to the other side
Sail away, my little sister
Sail away far into the night




Where time seems much better
Than this void called life

Line by Line Meaning

Sail away, my little sister
Leaving this realm behind for something better


Sail away to the other side
Venturing far away to an unknown place


There's a light and a darkened road
Two paths that present themselves in life


There's a night and a fading hope
The uncertainty of the future and the loss of what once was


There was a dream that once was mine
Emphasis placed on how the situation has changed


But now it seems it has passed with time
The dream has vanished and time has moved on


Sail away, my little sister
Emphasizing the need to leave


Sail away far into the night
Leaving without looking back


Where time seems much better
Somewhere free from the restrictions of time


Than this void called life
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of life


There's a voice inside my head
An inner conflict constantly present


There's a hope, now long since dead
A glimmer of possibility which has faded


It's all a wonder, will I abide?
All the uncertainty prompts questioning


I hear you calling from the other side
A comforting voice propelled from the unknown destination


Sail away, my little sister
The final farewell


Sail away far into the night
Going on this journey alone


Where time seems much better
A promise of better circumstances


Than this void called life
Where life seems empty or meaningless


I hear you calling from the other side
Returning to the words of comfort

There's a light and a darkened road
There's a night and a fading hope
There was a dream that once was mine
But now it seems it has passed with time

Sail away, my little sister

There's a hope, now long since dead
It's all a wonder, will I abide?
I hear you calling from the other side
I hear you calling from the other side

Sail away, my little sister
Sail away to the other side
Sail away, my little sister
Sail away far into the night

A melhor fase do Sirenia foi com os vocais de Monika Pedersen, ela era incrível e tinha uma ótima presença de palco, depois de sua saída, a banda perdeu a sua essência, e hoje não tem mais uma presença tão marcante, quando tinha com Monika, como vocalista.

Auch nach so langer Zeit, immer noch ein Ohrwurm ❤
