Wolfcolony set out to deliver a unique blend of electronic indie pop, characterized by lush, lo-fi atmospheres with a really organic, candle-lit feel. For an act so centered on an electronic music work frame, it might be really tempting to indulge into unnecessary over-editing and over-production, but wolfcolony chose instead to adorn their songs with relatively bare arrangements dominated by a few, high-impact elements that offer a roomy, massive, yet intimate and honest soundscape.
The Otherside
Wolf Colony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It′s over, it's over
I′m holding on to whatever will last
I'm over, I'm overwhelmed with guilt
I′ll fight ′til I am on the otherside, of this realm
Delusions come and go, through my mind
Daydreams like I can't sleep
Everything seems like a distant dream
I don′t know
Open up the skies and swallow me
Open up my eyes and make me see, make me see
I'll fight ′til I am on the otherside, of this realm
Delusions come and go, through my mind
Daydreams like I can't sleep
Everything seems like a distant dream
Am I going crazy? Am I going crazy?
I don′t know
Everything is funny
Then suddenly it's sad
Sometimes I am happy
Sometimes I'm quite mad, sometimes I′m quite mad
I′ll fight 'til I am on the otherside, of this realm
Delusions come and go, through my mind
Daydreams like I can′t sleep
Everything seems like a distant dream
Am I going crazy? Am I going crazy?
I don't know
In Wolf Colony's song, The Otherside, the artist explores the theme of mental turmoil and instability. The opening line, "Consistency is a thing of the past," sets the tone of the song as one of uncertainty and unease. The singer is struggling to hold on to whatever stability he can find, but is overwhelmed with guilt and seems to be losing touch with reality. He questions his own sanity, wondering, "Am I going crazy? Am I going crazy?" The chorus, "I'll fight 'til I am on the otherside of this realm," suggests that the singer sees his struggle as a battle that he must overcome in order to find peace and stability.
The second verse further illustrates the singer's struggle, as he describes his mind being filled with delusions and distant daydreams that prevent him from sleeping. He pleads for the skies to open up and "make me see," suggesting that he feels lost and disconnected from the world around him. The erratic changes in mood are also described, as everything can go from funny to sad, and the singer can go from happy to mad at a moment's notice.
Overall, The Otherside is a haunting exploration of the complexities of mental health and the struggle to find stability in a constantly changing world.
Line by Line Meaning
Consistency is a thing of the past
Stability and predictability are no longer present in my life
It's over, it's over
The situation has ended, and there's no going back
I'm holding on to whatever will last
I'm trying to cling to any form of permanence in my life
I'm over, I'm overwhelmed with guilt
My guilt has taken over me completely
I'll fight 'til I am on the otherside, of this realm
I'll continue to struggle until I reach a better place
Delusions come and go, through my mind
I have fleeting and distorted thoughts
Daydreams like I can't sleep
I'm lost in my thoughts even when I'm awake
Everything seems like a distant dream
My reality feels like a vague, faraway memory
Am I going crazy? Am I going crazy?
I'm questioning my sanity
I don't know
I don't have the answers to my questions
Open up the skies and swallow me
I wish for an escape from my reality
Open up my eyes and make me see, make me see
I want to gain clarity and understanding
Everything is funny
I find humor in everything
Then suddenly it's sad
My mood changes quickly
Sometimes I am happy
I experience moments of joy
Sometimes I'm quite mad, sometimes I'm quite mad
I have episodes of anger or frustration
