The Other Side — Parichad
Complete Digital Edition
$2.00
The Other Side is a warm, reflective contemporary soul song about the moment when waiting for certainty becomes harder than simply moving forward.
Built around Rhodes, acoustic piano, deep rounded bass, restrained live drums, clean electric guitar and subtle strings, the song grows gently from uncertainty towards quiet confidence. Parichad delivers it with maturity and restraint — recognising that courage does not always mean knowing what lies ahead. Sometimes it simply means taking the first step.
There may be no map, no guarantee and no perfect moment. But sometimes standing still becomes the greater risk.

I've stood at the edge of maybe
More times than I can count
Watching everybody going
While I kept working it all out
I wanted signs and answers
Something certain I could trust
But life has never waited
For the rest of us to catch up
Maybe knowing isn't everything
Maybe courage starts like this
There's no map for the other side
No promise waiting there
But I'd rather cross not knowing
Than spend my life standing here
I don't need to see the ending
I just need to choose my way
There's a whole world on the other side
And I'm taking one step today
I've carried old decisions
Like they couldn't be undone
Stayed inside familiar places
Long after they stopped feeling like home
But every door I've opened
Every chance I nearly missed
Has taught me that tomorrow
Doesn't come with guarantees
Maybe knowing isn't everything
Maybe courage starts like this
There's no map for the other side
No promise waiting there
But I'd rather cross not knowing
Than spend my life standing here
I don't need to see the ending
I just need to choose my way
There's a whole world on the other side
And I'm taking one step today
I used to think that being ready
Meant the fear would disappear
Now I know you take it with you
And you move despite the fear
Some roads only show their meaning
Once you've left the shore behind
And some answers only find you
When you stop waiting for a sign
There's no map for the other side
And that's all right with me
I have spent enough of my life
Waiting for certainty
I don't need to know the ending
I just need to choose my way
There's a whole world on the other side
And I'm taking one step today
One step today
That's enough to change my way
I don't know what's waiting there
But I'm on my way
