OTHER SIDE Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They took you away on a Tuesday
A lightning bolt without a cloud in the sky
We grew up Siouxsie and The Banshees
10:15 on a Saturday Night

[Chorus]
It'll never be the same stage right
But we'll always have that coffee life
I'll see you again on the other side

[Verse 2]
How'd you get back to the hotel?
Where did you end up at the end of the night?
How can I go back to Holmdel?
How can you leave without saying goodbye?

[Chorus]
It'll never be the same stage right
But we'll always have that coffee life
I'll see you again on the other side

[Bridge]
Captured lights through barricades
Long lost nights and better days

[Chorus]
It'll never be the same stage right
But we'll always have that coffee life
I'll see you again on the other side
It'll never be the same stage right
But we'll always have that coffee life
I'll see you again on the other side

About

“Other Side” is a tribute to longtime blink-182 crew member and Mark Hoppus‘ bass tech, Robert 'Noise’ Ortiz, who passed away in May 2022. The song not only talks about the impact Robert had on Hoppus and the band but it also mentions other artists like The Cure which have influenced blink-182’s music.

When Robert passed away, Hoppus stated via Instagram:

I’m crushed. This makes no sense. We lost a dear friend and family member today. It feels like a nightmare none of us can wake up from. I just talked to you yesterday, and now you’re gone? It isn’t right. Or fair. I’m heartbroken and furious and confused. We all are. Rest easy, my friend. I don’t know how any of us can go on without you. Damn.
