General Information

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

A track from Evanescence's third studio 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 Nasville show.

Lyrics

Make me whole again
Open your eyes
Taunted by the shadows of you lies

Cold and far away
But not even mine
Undo everything and chain me higher

Never believing...
Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
Counting the days till I see you on the other side
Come and take me home
