The Other Side
T. Ryan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A place I never wanted to go
Where everything will cost a price
I'm sick of always doing things right
When no one ever tries to be nice
To meet you I was doing alright
Just another day in paradise
I'm feeling sick to my stomach
And i'm tired of always being alright
You pushed me to the other side
Now i've got nothing more left to hide
You can keep everything you need
Now there's nothing more left of me
And I was wondering where to go
When you've learnt everything you know
And how do you make things right
Before you go to the other side
The Stone
Above the box thats carved for your new home
And it fits like a coat inside
You never know what you might find
When you get your own peace of mind
It circles in the dark it never ends
And no matter how you try to pretend
There's just no rest for the wicked
all the lies they will thicken
And you'll never know if your alright
You pushed me to the other side
Now i've got nothing more left to hide
You can keep everything you need
Now there's nothing more left of me
And I was wondering where to go
When you've learnt everything you know
And how do you make things right
Before you go to the other side
It's right there black and white it must be the truth
It's right there black and white it must be the truth
It's right there black and white it must be the truth
It's right there black and white it must be the truth
You pushed me to the other side
Now i've got nothing more left to hide
You can keep everything you need
Now there's nothing more left of me
And I was wondering where to go
When you've learnt everything you know
And how do you make things right
Before you go to the other side
You pushed me to the other side
Now i've got nothing more left to hide
You can keep everything you need
Now there's nothing more left of me
And I was wondering where to go
When you've learnt everything you know
And how do you make things right
Before you go to the other side
In "The Other Side" by T. Ryan, the lyrics describe a feeling of being alone and pushed to a breaking point. The first verse expresses the frustration of always trying to do the right thing and be kind, but never receiving the same treatment in return. The singer initially seemed to be doing fine, but something has caused them to feel sick to their stomach. Despite this discomfort, they have been "always being alright" until being pushed to the other side.
In the chorus, the singer again references being pushed to the other side and having nothing more left to hide. They ask where to go when they've learned everything they know, and how to make things right before going to the other side. It's unclear what the other side represents, but it seems to be a point of no return.
In the second verse, there are references to death, with the phrase "the box that's carved for your new home." The singer seems to be resigned to the fact that everyone will eventually die, and that there's no escaping it. The line "there's just no rest for the wicked, all the lies they will thicken" implies that the singer has been the victim of deception and is now paying the price.
Overall, "The Other Side" speaks to the feeling of being pushed too far and trying to find a way to make things right before it's too late.

The Stone
A symbol of finality and permanence, often associated with death or loss
Above the box that's carved for your new home
Above the final resting place, showing respect for the deceased
And it fits like a coat inside
Symbolic of the deceased being at peace and comfortable
You never know what you might find
Uncertainty and mystery surrounding the afterlife
When you get your own peace of mind
Finding internal peace and contentment
It circles in the dark it never ends
Fear of the unknown and the unending nature of death
And no matter how you try to pretend
No matter how much you ignore or avoid it, death is always present
There's just no rest for the wicked
The bad things you do will follow you to the end
all the lies they will thicken
Dishonesty and deception complicate matters, even in death
And you'll never know if you're alright
Uncertainty and fear surrounding what comes after passing away
It's right there black and white it must be the truth
Something so clearly stated must be factual and real
