This is a national anthem from the flip-side of the Empire
Hand on my heart, heart on the sleeve of the constitution
Sinking right into a mirror leaving reflections on its surface
Caught in a kind of radio beacon that's sending out signals
Transmitting them backwards
Hey, tell me it's true, is this the other side of U?
Worlds gonna change with the move in your face,
Do I still walk on the same structure?
Hey, what do we know? Re(a)leasing arrows over cosmic meadows
Nothing is real, even iron or steel melting gently in the cold structure
Watching your face through a peephole as I lean against the door
Can't understand what you say but I think that you're calling my name
Leaving the ones I loved is like leaving the one they want me to be
Making decisions in real-time-precision
As millions of sailors in parallel worlds
Hey, tell me it's true, is this the other side of U?
Worlds gonna change with the move in your face,
Do I still walk on the same structure?
Hey, what do we know? Re(a)leasing arrows over cosmic meadows
Nothing is real, even iron or steel melting gently in the cold structure
Everybody walks this side of the runway
Everybody hopes to get off the trap
All we really like is to groove with emotion
Waiting for the airline to lift us up
Lyrics & Music: Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd, Ricky Echolette
Notes:
On the labels of Dance With Me the song's full title is given as "The Nelson Highrise Sector 2: The Mirror including The Other Side of U / Airlines / T.O.S.O.U (Reprise)". On Dreamscapes the song is simply called "The Other Side of U".
This is the track from which your humble webmaster has taken the title "Cosmic Meadows". The phrase also appears in "Faith".
