Scissor Sisters – The Other Side Lyrics 18 years ago
I just found out that this song is baed on Specimen Days by Michael Cunningham, which is AN AMAZING BOOK BTW. And that's why it reminded me so much of Walt Whitman!

Scissor Sisters – The Other Side Lyrics 18 years ago
To me, the part:

"If it takes another life
I'll wait for you
On the other side
Everything that comes to me
As good
Belongs to you"

Is about homosexual partener rights, and lack thereof. Especially with the spoken part at the end.

Also,
The lines:

"We'll grow as grass under their feet"
and
"As good belongs to you"

remind me of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass.

I love this song.
