General Information

Written by: A. Lee and T. Balsamo and T. McCord

The 5th track on Evanescence's self-titled album. Amy Lee describes it as

...beautiful and epic, but at the same time it's got that rocking vibe

In her interview with MTV Amy Lee talked about the song saying:

I wrote it with the guys. It was real collaborative. That was a hard one for me to write the lyrics for, because I had the chorus — it's very epic and dramatic; 'Counting the days to meet you on the other side' — but then, the verses, again, that element of fun is coming back in, you know, the band, it's grooving... so I'm like, 'How do I sing about death in a way that's sort of bitchy?' Like, it's not really possible ... it's hard to explain. But it's harder than it sounds.

A sample of this track was shared with fans on Wednesday July 13th on MTV's website.

On Wednesday August 17th "The Other Side" was premiered live at Evanescence's Nashville show.

Lyrics

Make me whole again
Open your eyes
Taunted by the shadows of your light
Cold and far away
like you're not even mine
Undo everything and take me higher
Never believing what they say cause I’m

Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
until the day that I see you on the other side
Come and take me home

I’m not giving in
I want you back
holding together by the shards of our past
Stole my heart away
I can’t let you go
Break these chains and let me fly to you
high above the world below
Over and over in my mind

Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
until the day that I see you on the other side
Come and take me home

I am so lost without my place inside your heart
I won't survive I need to know you hear me
Awaken and release my love

Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
until the day that I see you on the other side
Come and take me
Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
until the day that I see you on the other side
Come and take me home
