The Other Side Lyrics

I thought I had it all, living the dream
The perfect union, or so it seemed
Eternal commitment, sealed with a kiss
But you said you loved me, with an open fist

The anger the rage, locked in this cage
It happens again and again
The violence and force, denial of course
The time has come for an end
The other side
So Fucking Tired

So fucking tired you being told what to do
Don't need your blackmail and I don't need you
Blood dripping from the head, hit with the phone
Again the sirens wail, and you call this home?

The anger the rage, locked in this cage
It happens again and again
The violence and force, denial of course
The time has come for an end

The anger the rage, trapped in this cage
It happens again and again
The violence and force, denial of course
The cycle must come to an end

The other side (x2)

Condition critical, you turn and run
Run to another victim, continue what you've done
Violence is justified, in your twisted head
Someday someone will end up dead

The anger the rage, locked in this cage
It happens again and again
The violence and force, denial of course
The time has come for an end

The anger the rage, trapped in this cage
It happens again and again
The violence and force, denial of course
The cycle must come to an end

The other side (x2)

Cover art for The Other Side lyrics by Annihilator

This song talks of an abusive relationship and the cycle of violence that lives in it, with a protagonist who thought they had a perfect relationship, but it had escalated to physical abuse. They have eventually grown tired of taking all the abuse and beatings after getting beaten with a phone until they had bled, and decide that they don't need them anymore. The title as well can also be seen as having two meanings, with one side being the POV of the victim, and the other being their desire to be in a better, safer place away from their abusive relationship.
