The Wldlfe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We′re livin' underneath the covers
Mess with my head, I guess I′m just another lover
I don't wanna sit and talk about it up all night (all night)
Because I know the games you're gonna
Play to try to change my mind (my mind)
Still on your lips, I can taste a bit of Heaven
Guess it′s true that the sugar isn't sweeter, sweeter
Chase you down, I won′t ever learn my lesson
You make me sick, but I can't seem to medicate it
Guess it′s true that the grass ain't always greener, greener
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side
Hung by a thread
And now we′re flooding to the surface
I'm left on read
You always make me feel so nervous
I don't wanna sit and talk about it up all night (all night)
Because I know the games you′re gonna
Play to try to change my mind (my mind)
Walk away and I won′t ask you any questions
Still on your lips, I can taste a bit of Heaven
Guess it's true that the sugar isn′t sweeter, sweeter
Chase you down, I won't ever learn my lesson
You make me sick, but I can′t seem to medicate it
Guess it's true that the grass ain′t always greener, greener
On the other side
On the other side
I don't wanna sit and talk about it up all night (all night)
Because I know the games you're gonna try to play to change my mind
Walk away and I won′t ask you any questions
Still on your lips, I can taste a bit of Heaven
Guess it′s true that the sugar isn't sweeter, sweeter
Chase you down, I won′t ever learn my lesson
You make me sick, but I can't seem to medicate it
Guess it′s true that the grass ain't always greener, greener
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side

The WLDLFE’s song “The Other Side” describes a complex, tumultuous relationship between the singer and their lover. The first verse depicts the familiar feeling of waking up next to someone you love and feeling the warmth of the sun on your face. However, the mood takes a sharp turn as the singer laments being just another lover, with their head being messed with. They don’t want to spend the night arguing over the same old games, knowing it will be a never-ending cycle. The chorus speaks to the idea that the grass is not always greener on the other side, a common idiom used to describe the human desire for something better.
The second verse dives deeper into the relationship, with the singer feeling like they are constantly on edge and being strung along by their lover. They don’t want to be left hanging anymore and feel nervous around their partner. The chorus repeats, with the singer reiterating that they know their lover’s games and that they won’t be changed by them. They don’t want to ask any questions, knowing that doing so will only open the door for more hurt, but they can’t help clinging to the fleeting moments of happiness with their partner.
Overall, “The Other Side” is a raw, emotional exploration of the pitfalls and complexities of relationships. The singer knows they are being toyed with, but can’t seem to let their lover go, keeping them locked in a never-ending cycle of pain and happiness.

Sunlight, in bed
We are together in bed, with the light shining in from outside
We're living underneath the covers
We are snuggled up under the blankets, enjoying each other's company
Mess with my head, I guess I'm just another lover
You play mind games with me, making me feel like I'm not special to you
I don't wanna sit and talk about it up all night (all night)
I don't want to argue and discuss our issues all night long
Because I know the games you're gonna play to try to change my mind (my mind)
I know that you will use manipulative tactics to sway my opinion
Walk away and I won't ask you any questions
I will let you leave without interrogating you about your actions
Still on your lips, I can taste a bit of Heaven
Your kiss is so amazing that it feels like a piece of Heaven
Guess it's true that the sugar isn't sweeter, sweeter
Maybe what we have now is as sweet as it gets, no need to look for something more
Chase you down, I won't ever learn my lesson
I keep chasing after you, even though I know it won't lead to anything good
You make me sick, but I can't seem to medicate it
Your behavior towards me is nauseating, but I can't seem to get away from it
Guess it's true that the grass ain't always greener, greener
Maybe what we have now is better than anything else out there, despite its flaws
On the other side
I am wondering if there is something better out there
Hung by a thread
Our relationship is barely holding together
And now we're flooding to the surface
Our problems are coming to light, and we can't hide them anymore
I'm left on read
You are ignoring my messages or leaving me hanging
You always make me feel so nervous
Your actions and behavior towards me make me feel anxious
On the other side
I am still wondering if there is something better out there
