Other Side Lyrics
Ten tonnes may fall
Down from the fallen sky
Onto the other side
My heart may break
Don't look the other way
Don't look the other way
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh
Fools may rise
All fall in their time
Burning with the forest fires
And all we want
Is to feel like all we got
Didn't cost us everything
Even if we never win
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh
Who am I on the other side
You were mine on the other side
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh
Who am I on the other side
You were mine on the other side
Free my mind
On with the other loves
On with the other lives
And all I want
Is to feel like all I got
Didn't cost me everything
Even if I never win
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh
Who am I on the other side
You were mine on the other side
Who am I on the other side
You were mine on the other side
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh
Who am I on the other side
You were mine on the other side
Oh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh
Who am I on the other side
You were mine on the other side
Ten tonnes may fall
Down from the fallen sky
Onto the other side
Down from the fallen sky
Onto the other side
Don't look the other way
Don't look the other way
All fall in their time
Burning with the forest fires
Is to feel like all we got
Didn't cost us everything
Even if we never win
You were mine on the other side
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh
Who am I on the other side
You were mine on the other side
On with the other loves
On with the other lives
Is to feel like all I got
Didn't cost me everything
Even if I never win
Who am I on the other side
You were mine on the other side
Who am I on the other side
You were mine on the other side
Who am I on the other side
You were mine on the other side
Oh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh
Who am I on the other side
You were mine on the other side
Down from the fallen sky
Onto the other side

I feel like the song is about letting go, understanding that things may happen. The "Other Side" to me represents the end of life. I think when James Shaw says "And all I want is to feel like all I got Didn't cost me everything" I think this means that you spent all of your time worrying instead of simply living and experiencing.
I really enjoyed this tune, so lovely and so true. Like always from Metric.
My friend just killed herself last month. A few weeks prior, she listened to nothing but this song for two days.
I don't know the meaning of the lyrics, but they must of meant something to her.
