The Other Side Of Pain Lyrics – Citizen Soldier

The Other Side Of Pain Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The singer is reminding themselves not to give up or make a bad decision just because they’re in pain right now. They’re saying that pain is temporary, but choices made in those dark moments can have lasting effects. It’s a promise to stay strong through the struggle.

[Verse 1]
Here, the singer talks about how much they’ve been through. They’ve faced deep trauma, hidden pain, and emotional scars that others can’t see. If someone could experience their memories or read their thoughts, they’d be shocked that the singer is still standing. It’s a way of showing how strong they’ve had to be just to survive.

[Pre-Chorus]
The singer isn’t sure if life will reward them or if karma will balance things out. But even with all the uncertainty, they know they’ve come too far to quit now. They refuse to give up after surviving so much.

[Chorus]
The singer admits they don’t know when their mental battles will end or when their inner demons will disappear. They’re struggling with pain and trauma, but they realize that only those who keep living can reach healing and peace. The dead never see what comes after the suffering. That thought keeps them going—it’s the reason they choose to stay alive and keep fighting.

[Verse 2]
In this part, the singer says that if their deepest thoughts and beliefs were visible, people would see how much pain they’ve hidden. Every emotional wound tells a story of struggle. The singer has buried so many feelings just to keep going, and it’s incredible that they’ve managed to survive through it all.

[Pre-Chorus]
Even when life feels unbearable and things never seem to change, the singer holds onto the idea that staying alive is better than giving up. They’d rather live with uncertainty than end things and never know if things could get better.

[Chorus]
The singer once again opens up about the ongoing fight inside their mind. They don’t know when the pain or the trauma will ease, but they hold onto the truth that those who end their lives never reach healing. It’s a painful but hopeful reminder that staying alive is the only way to find peace and strength on the other side of pain.

[Bridge]
The singer admits they don’t fully believe in faith or hope, but they’re still willing to keep going through tough times. Even without clear answers, they’ll keep searching for meaning and won’t give in to despair. They know that if they say goodbye too soon, they’ll never find out what life could have offered.

[Post-Bridge]
The singer repeats their promise not to let short-term pain lead to a lasting mistake. It’s a moment of strength and self-control, showing their determination to hold on and not give up.

[Chorus]
The same message returns—no one knows when healing comes or when the pain ends, but choosing to live means there’s still a chance to reach better days. The singer stays determined, reminding themselves that those who leave too soon never get to see what recovery or peace feels like. That belief keeps them moving forward.

[Post-Chorus]
The singer repeats their vow once again to not let pain control their actions. It’s a final reassurance that they’ll keep going, no matter how much it hurts right now.

[Outro]
The singer reflects on uncertainty again—they don’t know if karma or justice is close, but they know one thing for sure: they’ve survived too much to give up now. It’s a declaration of endurance and growth. Even without clear answers or an end to the pain, they refuse to let everything they’ve fought for go to waste. The repetition shows both exhaustion and strength—a reminder that they’re still holding on, refusing to let temporary suffering erase the progress they’ve made.
