Songtext The other side Julia Michaels

The other side

Verse 1:

Wake up & pay attention y'all, this is the day I die

And don't ya wonder why, yeah, don't cry

That I'm way too young & that I didn't achieve

Everything I wanted to, man, I'm happy to bleed

This life, old life, from up outta my veins

A new life to embrace, see me taking the reins

I'ma whip these steeds to stampede & steer them in the direction

Of results of past discretion, yeah this class is in session

Quit stressin'

I'll make up for your lack of intelligence

You can copy my papers on the irrelevance of this to begin with
I didn't learn a single thing in school

'Cos my head was full of memories of a life that had me fooled

Had the wool pulled over my eyes

The consequence of thinkin' that to live I have to be alive

But it was a lie

Have you ever seen the rain from The Other Side?

That which didn't make sense now does now that I've died

Hook:

When I died my eyes were closed

But now they open wide & god knows

That I'm ready to blow & throw up the signs

That I'm passed & I'm happy & given the chance I'd never rewind

When I died my eyes were closed

But now they open wide & god knows

That I'm ready to blow, that I'm ready to blow, that I'm ready to blow up!

Verse 2:

Yeah, the clarity is amazing

The nature of high definition is mine

When I position my sight on all of creation

Nothing from the fly to the skyscraper high

Is too difficult for me to scrutinise

In meticulous detail, the bomb & the whale

The sarcophagus, the veil, the crucifix & the nail

The soldier & the civilian. the victims & the villains

And the men without faces in their high places chillin'

Yeah, I see it all

I see the call to war, I see the pride & the inevitable fall

The vendettas & plea letters & death threats once vetted

And dismissed vetted again & verified genuine

Pantera said it best, yo, it's time to rise

They organised to invade & take lives

But I beat 'em to the punch, I vacated the confines

Look at me, I can fly fly fly now that I've died

Hook

Verse 3:

I've always had troubled with my eyes

Maybe I should've took the headaches as a sign to do the exercise

Provided to me by the doctor of optometry

But now that I'm dead I've got the sharpest picture quality

Not to mention audio

I can hear the heart start beating faster when a lie is passed

And I can isolate the sole veracious voice

From that of the politician, magician & others never giving you a choice

I still converse with the living

Despite the fact they try to bring me back but they unwillingly giving me

Seemingly limitless cause to stay a corpse, of course I let 'em know

But I know they'll never find a cause to try the course of Juggalos

Ignorance is the cause of all strife

And your contentment in that state is the reason I took my life

So destroy the horcrux, I really am fine

Right here in the land of the dead now that I've died
