The lyrics to The Almighty Grind's song The Other Side are in Japanese, so there may be some slight variations in interpretation, but here is one possible interpretation.
The opening line, "hei! karosu wo terasu ano asahi no you ni" roughly translates to "hey! Like the morning sun illuminating the crossroads". The following line, "nitoro chaaji atsuku ikou ze!" translates to "let's go with the excitement of nitro tea". These opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song - one of determination, energy, and a willingness to take risks.
The next few lines encourage the listener to keep pushing forward, to always be prepared ("itsu demo junbi wa okkee") and to use their unique traits and abilities to stand out ("katayaburi hengenjizai de"). The song then shifts to the idea of connecting with others and coming together to make each other stronger ("kasanariau omoi ga shinkuro shite"). The chorus repeats the phrase "iku z!", which can roughly be translated to "let's go!" or "we can do it!".
The lyrics go on to encourage perseverance ("zettai ni akiramenai") and to hold onto one's dreams and passions ("yuzurenai yume ga aru"). The song ends with a call to reach higher heights and to achieve even greater success ("dare mo shiranai takami e"). Overall, the message of the song is one of positivity, determination, and encouragement to keep pushing forward.
