In Another Way
my bloody valentine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Close enough to be alive, so it feels lost
Another way to settle down, I'll live forever another life
Deep inside you and I sit in the another side
Close tonight, we'll inside on the other way, the other side

Close enough to be alive, so it feels lost
Another way to settle down, I'll live forever another life
Deep inside you and I sit in the another side
Close tonight, we'll inside on the other way, the other side

The sense of being almost alive, but feeling disconnected and unsure of oneself.


Another way to settle down, I'll live forever another life
A new option for finding peace, a chance to escape the limitations of mortality.

Lyrics

[Verse]
Close enough to be alive
So it feels lost
Another way to settle down
Another way, another life

[Chorus]
Deep inside, you and I
Sitting on the side
Close tonight we'll be inside
On the other way, on the other side

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse]
Close enough to be alive
So it feels lost
Another way to settle down
Another way, another life

[Chorus]
Deep inside, you and I
Sitting on the side
Close tonight we'll be inside
On the other way, on the other side

Having heard this a few times now, I'm always struck by how odd it sounds - and then it occurred to me, this track actually has no bassline !! How amazing is that??

Jose Rodriguez

Wow I never even noticed until I've read this comment, and I've been listening to this record for like two years now lol. Guess it kinda slips one's mind cuz the drums are so heavy they kind of fill up that harmonic space! There is like some weird sort of ambient bass type thing going on, fading in and out throughout the song, but God only knows what it is. Well Kevin knows too I suppose.

Neither does To Here Knows When

@herakleitus it kinda has a bassline, they took an explosion sound effect and slowed it down. if you listen closely you can hear a deep rumbling in the song

MrSmallpoxSatan

You’re not listening closely enough. There’s fuzzed out bass slapping away. Don’t know what you’re listening to.

@MrSmallpoxSatanrelax lol

Unbelievable. I'm just speechless. Nobody has ever dared to do anything like this in the last 22 years. And rightly so, only MBV can do it and make it so otherworldly sublime!

This track immediately blew me away. I think it's one of the few genuinely brilliant, completely ground breaking songs on the album. I listened to it in headphones as I slept and woke up to it; a refreshment I haven't felt in a while. This song alone is well worth the price of admission.

AntelopeDC

Possibly the greatest thing I've ever heard from this band. I never thought I'd get to say that.
