This "See you on the Otherside" is my forum tagline wherever I usually post as Lawbag, I often ponder what the hell I mean by it. Is it some deep meaning, some acknowledgement of the afterlife or another world?
No, it just happens to be a lyric from my favourite Ozzy Osbourne song. Oddly enough for such a depressing lyric, it is a love song!
I have reproduced them below. They have meaning to me, and are almost poetry and unrecognisable outside of it's metal roots. As an example I once sent a girl the lyrics from Metallica's The Unforgiven, and it moved her to tears.
So, here is John "Ozzy" Osbourne's See You on the Other Side from 1995's Ozzmosis
Voices, a thousand, thousand voices
Whispering, the time has passed for choices
Golden days are passing over, yeah
I can’t seem to see you baby
Although my eyes are open wide
But I know I’ll see you once more
When I see you, I’ll see you on the other side
Yes, I’ll see you, I’ll see you on the other side
Leaving, I hate to see you cry
Grieving, I hate to say goodbye
Dust and ash forever, yeah
Though I know we must be parted
As sure as stars are in the sky
I’m gonna see when it comes to glory
And I’ll see you, I’ll see you on the other side
Yes I’ll see you, I’ll see you on the other side
Never thought I’d feel like this
Strange to be alone, yeah
But we’ll be together
Carved in stone, carved in stone, carved in stone
Hold me, hold me tight, I’m falling
Far away. distant voices calling
I’m so cold. I need you darling, yeah
I was down, but now I’m flying
Straight across the great divide
I know you’re crying, but I’ll stop you crying
When I see you, I see you on the other side
Yes. I’ll see you. see you on the othe side
I’m gonna see you. see you on the other side
God knows I’ll see you, see you on the other side, yeah
I’ll see you. see you on the othe side
I’m gonna see you. see you on the other side
God knows I’ll see you, see you on the other side, yeah
I wanna see you, yeah, yeah, yeah, see you on the other side
God knows I’ll see you, see you on the other side, yeah
I’m gonna see you. see you on the other side
