The Other Side
Journey of Reflection: Life's Questions and the Other Side
Lyrics
Where do I live
Questioning the place of residence
Where is my wife?
Expressing uncertainty about the location of the wife
I am alone
Feeling alone and possibly lost
What's life worth living for?
Questioning the value or purpose of life
Where am I going and what am I looking towards?
Seeking direction and purpose in life
Where are my kids having their fights?
Wondering about the well-being of children in their conflicts
Calling my name so I can kiss their sores
Desiring to comfort and care for the children
I'm just a man on the run
Expressing a sense of being a man constantly on the move
It's a bore
Conveying that the lifestyle is dull or unfulfilling
So father can you tell me again
Seeking guidance from the father figure
Father can you tell me again that I'm livin'
Repeating the request for affirmation of existence
'Til I meet you on that day on the other side
Expressing a hope or anticipation of meeting the father in the afterlife
I'm internationally known
Highlighting international fame and success
With platinum and gold
Referencing achievements with platinum and gold records
I've got millions sold
Emphasizing commercial success with millions of records sold
But after the party, I'm left standing in the cold
Feeling left alone and unfulfilled after the glamour of success
I would like to be a simple man
Expressing a desire for a simpler life
I'd buy me a farm and live off the land
Imagining a life on a farm and living off the land
Could a wife and some children be better than being in band?
Questioning whether family life is preferable to being in a band
So father can you tell me again
Reiterating the plea for guidance from the father
Father can you tell me again that I'm livin'
Repeating the request for affirmation of existence
'Til I meet you on that day on the other side
Expressing anticipation of meeting the father on the other side
On the other side
Emphasizing the theme of the other side, possibly referring to the afterlife
So father can you tell me again
Reiterating the plea for guidance from the father
Father can you tell me again that I'm livin'
Repeating the request for affirmation of existence
'Til I meet you on that day on the other side
Expressing anticipation of meeting the father on the other side
On the other side
Reinforcing the theme of the other side, possibly the afterlife
