The Other Side Lyrics

Make me whole again
Open your eyes
Taunted by the shadows of your light
Cold and far away
Like you're not even mine
Undo everything and take me higher
Never believing what they say 'cause I'm

Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
until the day that I see you on the other side
Come and take me home

I'm not giving in
I want you back
Holding together by the shards of our past
Stole my heart away
I can't let you go
Break these chains and let me fly to you
high above the world below
Over and over in my mind

Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
until the day that I see you on the other side
Come and take me home

I am so lost without my place inside your heart
I won't survive I need to know you hear me
Awaken and release my love

Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
until the day that I see you on the other side
Come and take me
Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
until the day that I see you on the other side
Come and take me home

Come and take me home

I am so lost without my place inside your heart
I won't survive I need to know you hear me
Awaken and release my love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I hadn't thought of it like that, but it definitely makes sense. As in 'Like you' she makes references to being with her sister again - such lines as - "Blinding wall between us. Melt away and leave us alone again." and "There's room inside for two and I'm not grieving for you, I'm coming for you." The metaphors about being reunited seem to come from the same feeling in both songs, eg. she feels her sister is on the other side of the "blinding wall" between them. Perhaps I didn't pick up on this at first because 'hello' and 'like you' were very slow and melancholy, where as this one is very fast paced and confident. One of my favourites of the new album!! :)

Maybe about her sister, in the same vein as 'Hello' and 'Like You'

In my interpretation, she wants to die to meet again someone who lost (who died) "on the other side", that is, afterlife.
