Otherside
Journey through Forgotten Lands: The Meaning of 'Otherside'
Lyrics
She said I had cold hands
Someone commented on my lack of warmth or emotional connection
With these turning tides in forgotten lands
Amidst changing circumstances in unfamiliar places
Floating in as the flung spray flies
Immersed in a chaotic situation, like water being thrown around
We sit tight
We remain still or patient despite the turbulence
Come in light of sea or stars
Regardless of the origin, whether from the sea or celestial bodies
These horses in white
Possibly referencing purity or something untamed, like wild horses
I walk alone
Feeling solitary
On the otherside
On the opposite side, away from something or someone
The otherside of us
Referring to a separation or distance between individuals
I walk alone
Alone, but separated from something familiar
On the otherside
Still on the opposite side, away from a connection
The otherside of us
A continuation of the idea of being apart or distanced
People come and people go
Highlighting the transient nature of people entering and leaving our lives
Like these wildfires
Comparing people to wildfires that persistently burn and change
They keep on burning
The enduring nature of change and its impact
If you're not gonna speak
An expression of the need for communication for understanding
Then how am I supposed to know
Questioning how to comprehend without verbal or non-verbal cues
When these Elm tops breath they keep on drifting
Symbolizing the continuous movement or evolution of life
Come in light of sea or stars
Regardless of the source of guidance or illumination
These horses in white
Reiterating the imagery of untamed purity or strength
I walk alone
Emphasizing solitude once more
On the otherside
Continuing to exist apart from something or someone
The otherside of us
Referring to the space or distance between individuals
I walk alone
A repetition emphasizing separation or distance
On the otherside
Continued existence away from a connection
The otherside of us
Reiteration of being apart or distanced from someone or something
I walk alone
Re-emphasizing the feeling of solitude
On the otherside
Still existing on the opposite side, away from something
The otherside of us
Highlighting the ongoing separation or distance
I walk alone
Continued existence alone, away from something familiar
On the otherside
A repetition indicating still being on the opposite side
The otherside of us
Continued separation or distance from something or someone
