I'm a little disappointed that no one ever commented on this. This song has the highest amount of symbolism in each verse. It's amazing how such a short song can be so meaninful. Obviously here, just like most songs from this album Saviour, there is a biblical reference. It's plain to see. But I like to look at it from a different perspective, as if Judas and Jesus - that here's is a girl, the one who sings - are actually current-day regular people living some kind of alternative story. Why did Jesus want to go to the "other side"? What is this other side if it's clear that it isn't the side of death/paradise/etc?
