The Other Side of the World Lyrics

I Won't Think It
I Won't Speak It
But I Feel It
And I See It
And It Comes Down
And Surrounds Us
With Sensation
With Perfection
Without Purpose
And There's Colour
And There's Light
And There's Movement
On The Other Side Of The World

With Each Movement
New Reactions
Cause Sensations
Which Move Through Us
And The Warm Wind
Kissed Your Body
And The Sun Was Rising
On The Other Side Of The World
And There's Colour
And There's Light
And Sensation
On The Other Side Of The World

Now I Breathe It
And I See It
Before Thinking
And It's Perfect
Without Purpose
And There's Colour
And There's Light
And They're Rising
On The Other Side Of The World

Cover art for The Other Side of the World lyrics by Swans

To me the lyrics are about either a "the grass is always greener" lie we tell ourselves in certain situations (relationships, careers, life in general) or its about a glass half empty attitude, a better life or time that seems so far away (on the other side of the world) the music sounds really hopeful and innocent. I remember first hearing this when I was 17-19 and it described the world perfectly to me, the emotions I felt while hearing the melodies and lyrics. I was longing and still am for something that seems to be on the other side of the world.
