The Other Side is the lead single for Josh’s upcoming album releasing in 2025. The song is a continuation from his latest track “Kill Myself” off of his previous album “Illusion.”
The song is about overcoming obstacles and getting the help you need to love and live life again.
[Verse 1]
Stone cold, alone
No one to hold
Fighting demons on my own
Letting go of hope
Is a dangerous rope
Someone told me long ago
[Chorus]
Lift up your head to the night sky
All those little stars took some time
Every little thing's gonna be alright
But you can hear your thoughts saying "let's go"
Feel your body numb, losing control
If you wanna die let me hear you shout
[Post-Chorus]
If I kill myself tonight
Waste my youth and waste my time
I'm not learning from this life (oh, oh, oh)
Suicidal thoughts all night
Fade into the morning light
I'll come out the other side
I'll come out the other side (oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
Seconds come, minutes go
All moving, slow mo'
Like a noose around my throat
Spiraling thoughts take me
Take a breath, break free
Just a blink away from hope
[Chorus]
Lift up your head to the night sky
All those little stars took some time
Every little thing's gonna be alright (gonna be alright)
But you can hear your thoughts saying "let's go"
Feel your body numb, losing control
If you wanna die let me hear you shout
[Post-Chorus]
If I kill myself tonight
Waste my youth and waste my time
I'm not learning from this life (oh, oh, oh)
Suicidal thoughts all night
Fade into the morning light
I'll come out the other side
