Glass Animals – The Other Side of Paradise Lyrics 7 years ago
@[shallowkittyartist:25557] I have a little bit different theory, Here it is.

So there's a couple
One of them want to be a rockstar:
("When I was young and stupid my love
Left to be a rock and roll star")

The other one don't like the idea (let's call them baby blue)
But he keep telling baby blue is fine:
("He told me please don't worry
Wise little smile that spoke so safely")

He doesn't think about the relationship anymore, continuing his dream:
("He booked a one way ticket
Out west that's where they'd make it")

So he create or joined a band of six
Getting money and fame, forgetting baby blue:
("Six kids stuck in a bedsit
To sunswept poolside riches")

The rockstar meet a lady who's in love with the him:
("He met a girl who wore Versace
Pink feather coats and jumbo jewellery
Gonna be a hoop phenomenon
He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwon")

He cheated on baby blue with her:
("He's got a gold Camaro
He said over the payphone
I try to keep my cool but
My life turns in slow motion")

Baby blue knows it but doesn't believe it, result getting their heart broken:
("Bye bye baby blue
I wish you could see the wicked truth
Caught up in a rush, it's killing you

Baby blue regret letting their boyfriend become a rockstar
("Screaming at the sun, you blow into")

Baby blue want to run away from the reality
("Curled up in a grip when we were us
Fingers in a fist like you might run")

Baby blue waiting for the cheater to come back but he never came:
("I settle for a ghost I never knew
Superparadise I held on to
But I settle for a ghost")

They was lived in somewhere it's rarelly to have a rockstar:
("Where I was from NOLA no one
Left to be a rock and roll star")

The cheater become the boyfriend of the rich lady:
("He'd stay and treat his lady
Give everything to his new baby")

Baby blue caught the cheater cheating and be come depressed:
("I miss him don't you blame me
That boy went stone cold crazy
Caught up in camera lust he's
Chasing that pappy pipe dreams")

Baby blue still won't believe it:
("I know you don't but I
I know you don't but I still try")

Foreshadowing after baby blue kill them self and the cheater know is and regret everything he have done:
("My thunder shook him down
My thunder came and shook him down")

The rich lady left the cheater because of unknown reason:
("That girl is gone but I
That girl is gone but I still try")

Baby blue now give up hoping and shoot them self in the head:
("I think it's over now
The bullet hit but maybe not")

His brain got messed up because of the bullet, making his body look disoriented in a short momment then died:
("I feel so fucking numb
It hits my head and I feel numb
My body's looking wrong
My body's looking wrong
My body's looking wrong")

The cheater know it and regret deeply, haunted by the picture of his ex death and his mistake:
("Bye bye baby blue
I wish you could see the wicked truth
Caught up in a rush it's killing you
("Screaming at the sun you blow into"): This part is where the cheater angry at himself
("Curled up in a grip when we were us"): He miss the day they are still together
("Fingers in a fist like you might run
I settle for a ghost I never knew
Superparadise I held on to
But I settle for a ghost") He kill himself, hoping to rejoined baby blue in the other side

But your theory is pretty accurate anyway and also a pretty sad song though :')
