The Other Side
Wayne Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will comfort you
When I wake, my tongue is tied
Daylight brings the great divide
Weeping like the rain
Whispering your name
Long to be reunified
When I reach the light
I will see you on the other side
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
Speeding city lights
Leave me weak tonight
Oh I miss your warmth inside
The stars came out to shine
Across the waterline
I can feel you on the other side
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
And I reach the light
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
And I reach the light
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
Wayne Jackson's song "The Other Side" appears to be about a person who is longing for someone who has passed away. The chorus ("See you on the other side / When I close my eyes / And I reach the light") hints at the idea of a afterlife, where the singer hopes to be reunited with their loved one. The verses are filled with imagery of separation and longing, with the singer feeling isolated ("Daylight brings the great divide") and missing their companion's "warmth inside". Despite this, the singer holds onto hope ("Believe the sun will rise"), keeping the idea of being reunited with their loved one close to their heart.
The song's use of imagery and metaphor is particularly powerful in conveying the feeling of loss and grief. The line "Weeping like the rain / Whispering your name" is particularly poignant, suggesting both the singer's emotional state and the enduring presence of the person they are missing. The "stars" and "waterline" are also used effectively to evoke a sense of distance and separation, with the singer feeling their loved one's presence on the other side of these barriers.
Overall, "The Other Side" is a moving and heartfelt song about the enduring power of love and the hope for a reunion beyond this life.

This song helped me through loss, and I hear the lyrics as the separation between death and life, yet we always feel in life what we have known in death (not our own)... The other side is beyond sorrow, beyond our own comprehension...

It's very cute and sweet and it does have depth but it could have been better where either the dog saves a dying man by resuscitating immerse something or getting him help or showing that he dies and the dog ends up maybe at his grave or something even deeper

I think the song is more about the loss of a loved one and the connection you feel with them even though they're gone. The little dog, IMO, symbolizes or has replaced whoever the man lost - someone who takes care of him and who he takes care of. The "angels" seem to act through the dog - the lottery ticket - and I think strengthens this explanation. The person he's missing is still there and looking out for him. This song makes me cry, it's so sad.

This song makes me cry. I think of my Grandparents... RIP 💖
