The Other Side
The Buddhist Monks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Sometimes I feel the earth has no direction, nothing living on
And everyday I expect that something happens what shouldn???t be
Why don???t you give me your smile ? It will be so easy-y, yeah!
If you don???t, we???ll never know, never know each other
Don???t you want to know the other side ?

Living in norm I will ever need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight dance with me
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Hizen Dojo

The way is so long but you shouldn???t hesitate, no, no!
There are so many happinesses, sorrows you???ll have to go through
But at the end you will find yourself and a door
You will see the brightest light, let it wrap you, let you go
You will feel you were born again

Living in norm I will ever need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight dance with me
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Read out the prayers of religion and you'll be free
(Tam pe cho nam la kyab su chio)
Walking is slower than volplaning keep on going
(Pag pe gen dun nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Dojo (Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Dojo (Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Hizen Dojo (Tam pe cho nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Dojo-o-o-o-o (Pag pe gen dun nam la kyab su chio)

Living in norm I will ever need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight dance with me
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Read out the prayers of religion and you'll be free
(Tam pe cho nam la kyab su chio)
Walking is slower than volplaning keep on going




(Pag pe gen dun nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Doj

Overall Meaning

The song "The Other Side" by The Buddhist Monks of Sakya Tashi Ling talks about the uncertainty and unpredictability of life. The first verse highlights the feeling of aimlessness and expectation of the unexpected. The singer asks for someone's smile, suggesting that a small act of kindness can create a connection between two people who may otherwise never know each other. The line "Don't you want to know the other side?" is a question directed towards the listener, inviting them to explore the unknown and to embrace the possibility of new experiences. The second verse continues this theme of self-discovery, acknowledging that life can be full of ups and downs, but that ultimately, we find our true selves.


The chorus is where the spiritual messages of the song really come to light. The phrase "Living in norm I will ever need" is a declaration of the need for some sort of guiding principle in life. The subsequent lines introduce different religious concepts such as sunlight, prayers, and walking towards enlightenment. These concepts are anchored in the repeated phrase "Hizen Dojo," which translates to "Training Hall of Zen" or "Place of Practice" in Japanese.


Overall, "The Other Side" is a call to embrace the unknown and to find solace and guidance in spirituality. The song suggests that through kindness, determination, and exploring the unknown, we can find our true selves and reach enlightenment.

Sometimes I feel the earth has no direction, nothing living on
And everyday I expect that something happens what shouldn't be
Why don't you give me your smile? It will be so easy-y, yeah!
If you don't, we'll never know, never know each other
Don't you want to know the other side?
Living in ormind we'll never need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight damn to eat meat
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Hizen Dojo

The way is so long but you shouldn't hesitate no, no!
There are so many happiness or sorrows you'll have to go through
Close of the edge you will find yourself and a door
You will see the brightest light, let it wrap you, let you go
You will feel you are born again

Living in ormind we'll never need
(Palden lama tampa nam la kyab su chio)
If you want to reach sunlight damn to eat meat
(Dzog pe sang gye chom den de nam la kyap su chio)
Breathe under prayers of religion and you'll be free
(Tam pe cho nam la kyab su chio)
A walking is harder than a planing keep on going
(Pag pe gen dun nam la kyab su chio)
Hizen Dojo
