Side Effects
Upanishad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
waiting opportunities to be brave once again
and some side effects are better then the heal
all this sorrow, all this boredom
Side effects are made up to be healed trough the sorrow,
all this to reach what's high, high and higher,
to reach what's high, high and higher, hidden in you
and the fact that nothing seems real,
and some side effects are better then the heal
all this sorrow, all this boredom
Side effects are made up to be healed trough the sorrow,
all this to reach what's high, high and higher,
to reach what's high, high and higher, hidden in you
But, you're tasting the devil's sentence
you're the one who braved the storm
you're the only one who care about it
i won't let you down this time
all the things i use to say, all the gods i use to pray,
it's all the same shit every day, trying to drain your life out
Love is a prison, love is the freedom,
love is the water, love is the fire,
love is the stronger, love is the weaker
love is the coward, love is the brave and
love is the word and, love is the blank page
love is the question, love, it's just waiting for you
The first part of the song "Side Effects" by Upanishad delves into the concept of waiting and the experiences that come with it. The lyrics convey a sense of anticipation and eagerness for something new and authentic. The mention of waiting like a stalker suggests a sense of vigilance and persistence in seeking out opportunities for growth and bravery. The lyrics emphasize the idea that some side effects, despite being challenging, can be more beneficial than the healing process itself. This could be interpreted as a reflection on how obstacles and difficulties can ultimately lead to personal growth and transformation.
The repetition of phrases such as "all this sorrow, all this boredom" highlights the pervasive feelings of melancholy and monotony that can accompany the journey towards self-discovery and enlightenment. The concept of using side effects as a means to heal through sorrow suggests a deeper exploration of the interconnectedness between pain and growth. The pursuit of reaching higher levels of understanding and self-realization is emphasized throughout the lyrics, symbolizing a continuous striving towards inner enlightenment and transcendence.
The second part of the song shifts focus to a more personal narrative, with the singer addressing someone who has faced challenges and weathered storms. The lyrics convey a sense of admiration and support for this individual, acknowledging their resilience and determination in overcoming obstacles. The declaration "i won't let you down this time" signifies a sense of commitment and loyalty to the person being addressed, suggesting a desire to provide unwavering support and encouragement.
The final part of the song introduces the complex and multifaceted nature of love. Love is portrayed as both a liberating force and a confining one, symbolizing the dichotomous nature of human relationships. The contrasting descriptors used to define love - water and fire, strong and weak, cowardly and brave - underscore the intricate and often contradictory emotions that love can evoke. The lyrics suggest that love encompasses a myriad of experiences and emotions, from vulnerability to strength, from doubt to certainty, ultimately presenting love as a profound and transformative force that is constantly present and waiting to be embraced.
