The Other Side
Tarby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take the time to make it right
As the light moves on
Feelings change, seasons die
Fade into the sun
Chaos grows, and she knows
Entropy had won
Hold them back, teach them well
Fading from the sun

Something old, something new
Change is on the rise
Something brash, nothing’s true
Reaching their demise
Holding ground, stating claims
Changing right from wrong
Catching on, taking out
Lasting for how long?

Oh, on the other side,
(The place where we belong, the place where we belong)
There’s nowhere to hide
From her sight!
Oh, you can run away,
(But where do we belong, but where do we belong)
But there’s nowhere to stay
Out of the light!

Scare them all, pump the veins
Tear their souls in two
Gain your state and followers
All you can accrue
Feed them lies, sever ties
All you feel you need
Keep ‘em cold, but keep ‘em fed
To sever any lead

Oh, on the other side,
(The place where we belong, the place where we belong)
There’s nowhere to hide
From her sight!
Oh, you can run away,
(But where do we belong, but where do we belong)
But there’s nowhere to stay
Out of the light!

Go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on




There's nowhere to hide, there's nowhere to hide, there's nowhere to hide, there's nowhere to hide
What have I done, what have I done, I’m all alone, I’m just a party of one
