This Side Of The Moon
Discover Freedom's Echo in 'This Side Of The Moon' by Aaron Pollock
Lyrics
If you could choose tomorrow
If you had the opportunity to select your future
Be who you choose to be
Decide to embody the person you wish to become
Would you hesitate
Would you show reluctance or hesitation?
Or sit around and wait
Or would you procrastinate and wait?
If you woke up tomorrow
If you were to awaken the following day
And any lover is yours
And any romantic partner was at your disposal
Would you know who you'd want
Would you have a clear preference?
Or would an old name haunt you
Or would memories of a previous relationship trouble you?
On this side of the moon
On this particular side of existence or experience
You've got a chance to leave
You possess the opportunity to depart
Just ask and receive
Mere inquiry results in obtaining
It's just the place to be
This place is simply where one should be
You can ride a jet plane
You have the choice to travel via a high-speed aircraft
Or ride a freight train
Or opt for a slower journey on a cargo train
You can be who you want to
You have the freedom to assume any desired identity
On this side of the moon
Within this sphere of existence or opportunity
On this side of the moon
Within this realm of experience or existence
You can sing on the corner
You can engage in singing at a street corner
You can roll in a sty
You can live in a place resembling a pigsty
Shake hands with the coroner
Meet and greet the individual responsible for handling the deceased
Share an aching goodbye
Partake in a painful farewell
On this side of the moon
Within this sphere of existence or opportunity
I roam around in the shadows
I wander in areas concealed from light or notice
I roam around in the dark
I traverse spaces devoid of illumination
I like to go where I'm wanted
I prefer being where I'm invited or desired
I wanna go where I'm loved
I desire to be in a place where I'm cherished
But if it comes with this pain now
Yet, if it involves experiencing this present anguish
The pain you gave to me
The pain that was inflicted upon me
For leading me to the darkness
For leading me into this state of obscurity or gloom
So aimlessly
So directionlessly
On this side of the moon
Within this sphere of existence or opportunity
On this side of the moon
Within this realm of experience or existence
