The Other Side
Vigilante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Praying for the light of dawn
And hope's been my companion
In the dark to keep me strong
But there's something awesome
Shining out through the ebony
And now my soul can finally see
There is glory in the night
A glimpse of You
Coming from the other side
You are reaching through the stars
And You're speaking to my heart
I know it's You
Calling from the other side
How could I not have realized
You've been here all along
So constant and so faithful
Through the darkness and beyond
It's unthinkable, undreamable
There's peace when I look up
'Cause I see the evidence of love
The other side... tonight
I am dancing through the night
Knowing things will be all right
Because of You
I'll make it to the other side
You are reaching through the stars
And You're speaking to my heart
I know it's You
Calling from the other side
When we first started planning this record the theme was "Joy in the morning Psalm 30: 5" We first heard this song and Jody and I volunteered to help write to portray the theme. My favorite line in the song is " Now I'm dancing through the night, knowing things will be alright because of You I'll make it to the other side"
The lyrics to Vigilante's song The Other Side speak about finding hope and comfort in dark times through the presence of a higher power. The song reflects on the struggle of being in a prolonged period of hardship and the desperation for any sign of light or hope. Despite being in a state of darkness, the singer acknowledges the presence of something "awesome" that shines through the ebony. Through this, they can see the "glory in the night" and the beauty of the darkness around them. The song speaks about the idea of having faith and recognizing the constant presence of a higher power, even during times when it may not seem evident.
As the song progresses, there is a sense of realization that the higher power has been present all along, providing constant support and faithfulness. This realization brings a sense of peace and joy, which is reflected in the line "I am dancing through the night, knowing things will be alright because of You, I'll make it to the other side." The song ends with a sense of hope and comfort, as the singer recognizes that the higher power is always reaching out and speaking to their heart.
Overall, The Other Side is a powerful song that speaks about the importance of faith and hope during dark times. It portrays the idea that no matter how difficult a situation may be, there is always light and comfort to be found through a higher power.

I've been so long in midnight
I've been stuck in darkness for a while
Praying for the light of dawn
Asking for a sign of hope to come
And hope's been my companion
Hope has been my support system
In the dark to keep me strong
To keep me strong even in tough times
But there's something awesome
But there's something amazing
Shining out through the ebony
Shining through the darkness
And now my soul can finally see
And now I can finally see with my soul's eye
There is glory in the night
There is beauty hiding in the darkness
So beautiful and bright
So stunning and radiant
A glimpse of You
A glimpse of the divine
Coming from the other side
Coming from a place beyond this world
You are reaching through the stars
You are reaching from the heavens
And You're speaking to my heart
And You're speaking to my very being
I know it's You
I know it's divine intervention
Calling from the other side
Calling from a place beyond this world
How could I not have realized
How was I blind to the truth
You've been here all along
Divine presence has been with me all this time
So constant and so faithful
So trustworthy and dependable
Through the darkness and beyond
Through the tough times and into the light
It's unthinkable, undreamable
It's surreal and beyond imagination
There's peace when I look up
I find peace by looking towards the heavens
'Cause I see the evidence of love
Because I can see signs of divine love
The other side... tonight
The otherworldly realm tonight
I am dancing through the night
I am celebrating with joy tonight
Knowing things will be all right
Knowing that everything will be okay
Because of You
Because of divine intervention
I'll make it to the other side
I'll make it to the otherworldly realm
