The Other Side
Soma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're begging me for answers
And you're up the reign
Get over my skin
So wait out

You treated me like Coltrane
Now I'm getting down
Get over my skin
So wait out

I'll see you on the other side
So you're shining mine

You're begging me for answers
But I've turned into dust
And you carry my skin
So wait out

You treated me like Coltrane
Kind of trival and mean, yeah
Get over my skin
So wait out, yeah

I'll see you on the other side

I'm coming in, I'm coming out
For a way to dive
If I could be here alive
I'd feel like at home
(And welcome to another part)

If I get in, if I get out
For a way to dive
If I could be here alive
The common feel like at home
(And welcome to another part)

I'll see you on the other side





You're begging me for answers
But I've turned into dust

You're begging me for answers
You're constantly asking me for explanations


And you're up the reign
And you're in charge


Get over my skin
Stop bothering me


So wait out
Be patient


You treated me like Coltrane
You mistreated me like I was expendable


Now I'm getting down
Now I'm getting serious


I'll see you on the other side
We'll meet again under different circumstances

And you're dealing with the remnants of who I was


I'm coming in, I'm coming out
I'm experiencing life's ups and downs


For a way to dive
In search of deeper meaning

If I could truly live in the moment

I'd feel comfortable and content


(And welcome to another part)
(And this is just another aspect of my journey)


The common feel like at home
The familiar feels like home
