To The Other side
Finding Freedom in Loss: "To The Other Side" Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
What for?
Questioning the purpose or reason behind a situation.
You know it don't matter like it did before
Expressing that previous concerns or issues are now irrelevant.
Fight your war wrapped up in a blanket on your living room floor
Describing a personal struggle, possibly a metaphorical war, in the comfort of one's home.
What you need?
Asking about essential needs or desires.
You're a goddamn human, you're already set free
Acknowledging human nature and freedom.
Wish you knew, wish you talked about me like I talk about you
Expressing a desire for reciprocal attention and understanding in a relationship.
'Cause I am letting you down
Admitting to disappointing someone.
I was just trying to turn it around
Attempting to reverse a negative situation.
Because I made it to the other side
Successfully overcoming challenges and reaching a different, possibly better, state.
Our bodies rose and went with the tide
Describing a positive change, likened to the natural ebb and flow of the tide.
I landed on the shore when I lost you, oh
Experiencing a personal loss while achieving progress.
But I, reaching from the other side
Continuing efforts to connect or communicate from the improved state.
Slipping deeper, further each time
Facing deeper challenges and difficulties despite progress.
The sun beat down on me when I lost you
Recalling a difficult moment associated with the loss.
What use?
Questioning the usefulness of certain actions or thoughts.
What more can you dwell on just to seek an excuse
Discouraging dwelling on excuses and promoting self-reflection.
Don't you cry
Encouraging resilience and avoiding self-pity.
Don't you place yourself above it because you won't try
Advising against arrogance and promoting humility through trying.
Look at these
Prompting observation and recognition of reality.
I mean, Jesus, can't you look at this? It really ain't a dream
Expressing disbelief and urging a realistic perspective.
Wish you knew
Reiterating a desire for understanding and love.
Wish you knew I still love you and control what I do
Emphasizing continued love and self-control.
'Cause I am letting you down
Acknowledging failure to meet expectations.
I was trying to turn it around
Persisting in efforts to improve and make amends.
Because I made it to the other side
Repeating the success of overcoming challenges and reaching a positive state.
Our bodies rose and went with the tide
Describing a collective positive change, symbolized by bodies rising with the tide.
I landed on the shore when I lost you, oh
Recalling a personal loss in the process of achieving positive change.
But I, reaching from the other side
Continuing efforts to connect or communicate, emphasizing the distance overcome.
Slipped beneath the full moon's shine
Facing challenges under the influence of external forces (full moon's shine).
The sun beat down on me when I lost you
Recalling a difficult moment associated with the loss under the sun.
What for?
Repeating the initial questioning of purpose or reason.
You know it don't matter like it did before
Reiterating that previous concerns are now inconsequential.
Fight your war wrapped up in a blanket on your living room floor
Describing a personal struggle, possibly a metaphorical war, in the comfort of one's home (repeated).
