The Right Side Of My Mind Lyrics
Hey, are you okay?
Better luck on another day,
this path some weren't meant to follow.
You're curious I can see,
always looking behind the trees,
keeping one eye on tomorrow.
Re-engineer your head
is really what the dormouse said.
Push the lies away.
If you take the time and look for clues,
scrape the shit off your shoes,
you'll feel the real today.
I'd love to take you
to see what I see there...
on the right side of my mind.
On the right side.
On the right side... of my mind.
Hey, one more thing.
These things are hard to explain.
For some, it seems strange... to swallow.
The frontier of our minds
is the last place we find,
but maybe the first place we should go.
I'd love to take you
to see what I see there...
on the right side of my mind.
On the right side.
On the right side of my mind.
I'll see you there : )
Better luck on another day,
this path some weren't meant to follow.
You're curious I can see,
always looking behind the trees,
keeping one eye on tomorrow.

Push the lies away.
If you take the time and look for clues,
scrape the shit off your shoes,
you'll feel the real today.
to see what I see there...
On the right side.
On the right side... of my mind.
These things are hard to explain.
For some, it seems strange... to swallow.
The frontier of our minds
is the last place we find,
but maybe the first place we should go.
to see what I see there...
on the right side of my mind.
On the right side.
On the right side of my mind.

It seems like the person being spoken to is in a difficult spot, and the speaker is telling him to explore things in a more philosophical manner-something he has become very skilled at. Yet he can't really transmit to him the process, as much as he wants to. But he still acknowledges the importance of doing so.
"Hey, one more thing, these things are hard to explain. For some, it seems strange to swallow. The frontier of our minds is the last place we find, but maybe the first place we should go"
One of my favorite Queensryche songs. The music, the words, the fast, the slow, the guitar riffs, everything comes together and pulls me in.
As a creative person I am often at a loss for words for the images that dance behind my eyes. "I wish I could take you to the right side of my mind..."
According to biology, the right side of one's brain controls their creativity (the left side is logical and pragmatic). So Queenryche is talking about letting go of all the things that get us down in the logical world around us and to explore our creativity - taking us to new frontiers of thought. How about that - a scientifically-based rock song!
The right side of your mind - I'll see you there!
