The Other Side of Me
miley cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The other side
The other side of me
By day, I play
The part in every way
Of simple sweet, calm and collected
I'm a chameleon
Can make a girl feel disconnected
Feel like a star
A super hero
Sometimes it's hard to separate
(Got too much on my plate)
If you could see
The other side of me
I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell
I hold the key (the key)
To both realities
The girl that I want you to know
If only I could show
The other side, the other side
I want you to see
The other side, the other side
The other side of me
Inside, I try
To make the pieces fit right
A jigsaw puzzle everywhere
'Cause I flip the script
So many times I forget
Who's on stage, who's in the mirror
Back in the spotlight
The crowd is calling
The paparazzi and the fame
(It can drive a girl insane)
If you could see
The other side of me
I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell
I hold the key
To both realities
The girl that I want you to know
If only I could show
The other side, the other side
I want you to see
The other side, the other side
The other side of me
Down inside I'm not that different
Like everyone I have a dream
Don't wanna hide just wanna fit in
Sometimes it's harder than it seems
If you could see
The other side of me
I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell
I hold the key
To both realities
The girl that I want you to know
If you could see
The other side of me
I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell
I hold the key (the key)
To both realities
The girl that I want you to know
If only I could show (yeah)
The other side, the other side
I want you to see (yeah!)
The other side, the other side
The other side of me
The other side, the other side
I want you to see
The other side, the other side of me
Miley Cyrus’s song “The Other Side of Me” was released in 2007 as part of her album “Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus”. The song speaks to the struggles of a young celebrity maintaining two personas―one for the public and one in their private life. Miley sings about trying to balance the expectations of her fame with the person she truly is inside. She explains that she plays the role of a “simple, sweet, calm and collected” person when she is expected to, but she is actually a “jigsaw puzzle everywhere” and the pieces don’t always fit.
There is an underlying message that everyone can relate to, especially those who struggle with imposter syndrome, a term used to describe when people feel like they are frauds in their talents and fear being exposed as such. Miley acknowledges that she is no different from anyone and just wants to be able to show people who she truly is. She is just like everyone else and she holds the key to both realities.
This song is powerful not just because of its relatability but also because it was part of Miley’s effort to break free from her Disney Channel persona as Hannah Montana. It highlights the inner struggles she faced during the transition to her more mature, post-Disney Channel career.
