Smile Empty Soul - The Other Side Lyrics
I walk into the room
You don't have to scream I can hear you
Bad trip, the needle sticks
You get your fix from confrontation
I try to make it past
Can't this family have one day
To get away from all the pain
And through the night I see the light
Shining from the neighbor's windows
I dream of life where I'm safe
In a home where I am not alone
Some day I will lay me down
On the grass where everything is greener
It always seems so good on the other side
I'm sick of all the heat
You can taste the hate in the air
Running through this family, uncomfortably
It's burning me
Is anybody there
In your eyes there's nothing to see
Just because your dreams have died
Don't drag me down, I've still got mine
[chorus]
Neighbor boy runs up to me, his eyes all black and blue
I say what happened to you boy, he said my daddy flew
Off the hook 'cause I was playin' too loud
I guess he couldn't hear the TV
He said son I'm a teach you a lesson
And then he .... and then he....
Maybe it's not so good on the other side
Maybe it's not so good on the other side
But it always seems so good, on the other side
It always looks so good .... it always seems so good

😍😍😍😍
I love this song it's so relatable and this is one of my favorite groups. Thank u Derek hunny ur the best. I did a great job
Still rockin in 19?
Ofcourse
This song is about how we always think other people have it much better than we have it but not knowing other people have just as many if not more problems then we have. We are all one. We all struggle. Great song 👌
2019❤️❤️❤️❤️

I still have this CD. It was my first one I ever owned.
Joe Griswold
Grey songs last forever
I still remember the first time I ever heard this song was while watching a Rurouni Kenshin AMV dedicated to Sojiro Seta, back in the old days of Toonami and Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. This has been one of my favorite songs (and bands) ever since.
I think we saw the same AMV. I can't find the video back :(
@pushpitake
Same :( So much for; "Once things get put on the internet it stays forever."
Ah high school...
I Say "what Happened to you BOOYYY!!"
Chemicals was a gewd album too
I love them this album was amazing every song was so powerful
This song is deep and it makes me tear up every time i hear it cause i lived it
same bro....
I'm sorry, man. None of us deserved the abuse. Break the cycle, right?
@Jonathan Isabell I'm sorry for you too brother.
Lived this as well for a long time dealing with my mother. At least in the end she made the mistakes so I didn't have to make them myself.
Same man.
getting goosebumps. Gone through life having to prove that I've been blessed with the opportunities to succeed. Good looks, good legs, a head on straight and education to back me up. Mom didn't have the same opportunities as me living in a trailer park in Georgia for a childhood. Thanks for the rush SES, you guys are awesome
this is a bad ass band i love them
best song
So sad what happened to this band and how they got fucked by record labels. They are still makin albums I think but stupid ass record labels killed their momentum and stopped them from being a hugely successful
They stood up for music and said they wouldn't write for the radio.
Fuck yeah real true rock, you just don't see it ever
Depends on your idea of success.
You have to give props to Sean, that man works so fucking hard to keep making his art. Every chance I get i try to support him because I admire his commitment. He bust his ass touring, recording and producing new music every year. I have even bought a couple of his painting to help keep him making music, added to the fact that I loved the art
Man this song gets me every time!
love this song
I still own this cd and even after all this time, this song still makes me cry.
Janice B same. This song made me realize and accept alot of shit I encountered in my teen years
It's sad, but I'd like to think it's also about moving past the behavior by not repeating it. Makes me cry too, though. No child deserves that.
This song makes me so sad
The one band who kept this album and all songs real to the core every song in this album is amazing and who ever thumbs this down is heartless and didn't get the message of this song.
FOCUS3D FILMS they actually didnt write this but its real to the core
Best song in the god damn fucking world shape me through tough times
Amazing song :)))
this song impacted my life when i was younger
Deep..
God damn, tingles throughout my body man.
every God Damned time.
