Macklemore Otherside Lyrics. Hella powerful song. Enjoy it. Peace. And a big fuck you to the asshole who stole my video. I own nothing, all rights go to whoever they belong too.
I was in the middle of active opiate addiction the first time I heard this song. It just hit me on every level possible. Such a painful thing to go through and this song almost gives you a taste of what it's like.
Exactly bro. This brings me back to a time and place every time I listen to it. Thankfully, I'm no longer there now, but this certainly hits home; as you said, on every level possible.
my mom died from drugs and I really get the meaning of this song, and I'm glad that I found a song that I can relate to that others can relate to as well.
This song was my motivation for becoming sober. Since 16 doing the same shit. It took looking death in the face and hearing songs like this to help open you up. Thank you Macklemore
I like thriftshop. Its overplayed but its still good in my opinion. I appreciate the fact that macklemore can makes songs this serious but also just goof off snd have fun in thriftshop
Been sober for almost 2 years now, had a massive injury at work today or tore my ACL and MCL went to the doctor they offered me pain meds and I declined 5 hours later I'm at home in throbbing pain thinking I did wrong but the truth of it is couple weeks of pain is better than a lifetime of misery, the song really has meeting if you listen to it and feel what you've been through you'll understand...
@@vh6772 have surgery next week to repair ligaments and remove torn cartilage, if I can go through day one without opiates I can handle surgery by the grace of our loving God. Thank you brother.
I really hope Macklemore does become the biggest in the music industry, perhaps he will teach our generation sense, and save them from the stupid shit all the other big artists got them into.
I am 13 years old and I understand this song more than I do anything else. I know because my brother is off that same mix. My friends are all doing "lean" because they think it's cool even though I know that they are all heading no where. I will never succumb to drugs. Never. I promise you this.
I'm 15 years old, I guess you could say I was raised in a good household unlike many of those out there. I can see but yet not fully understand why some do drugs. There are many reasons out there I guess, I've personally never done drugs or smoked. But my opinion for those opposing drugs like myself is to not use the fire and brimstone method, it doesn't work, modern history has shown that. But instead be encouraging for those who take or do drugs, show them you care for them. While it may not stop them from doing drugs entirely, it will help improve their daily lives if you show that you love them, whether it be friend, family, or a stranger.
I'm 14 and my dad left me for drugs when I was 1 and I only started seeing him again when I was ten and last year my mom went to rehab ,I only get to see her a couple times a month now.And I have listened to this song over and over and I respect Macklemore for what he has done because I know so many people who are having the same problems that he did and could not do 1% of he has accomplished.
Like he says: That rush, that drug, that dope, those pills that crumb that roach, Thinkin I would never do that, not that drug, and growing up nobody every does, Until your stuck, looking in the mirror, like I can't believe what I've become, swore I was going to be someone, growing up everyone always does, We sell our dreams and our potential, to escape thru that Buzz. People use drugs for 2 main reasons, 1."You are a product of your environment. You become who You associate with and your surroundings. If you go from living in the suburbs to living in the slums, you won't last if you keep living the suburb way in the slums. You become like them to fit in, survival of the fittest... 2. People don't know how to live/ cope with traumatic events that's happened in there life so they Susie drugs to mask it rather than face it and solve it.
My buddy died couple years ago and he had just got out of jail 5 days before he died . And he was playing this song before he went to the store Nd got givin some bad shit . He O.D d he was my first and the first guy I gave my heart to . He. Died with my heart . R.i.p Mike Kent . I will always miss and love you . Xoxo
Drugs are not a joke, first are the best, but the addiction man, the addiction. I wasted $1000 in crack in a month, someday im gonna die, everytime i heard this song its like a slap in the face, but i love the lyrics this is too real, and one time in the game its hard to get off
I know this seems like a scam, but he got kicked out of his oxford house (where recovering addicts live together in a sober community) and now he's homeless living on a friend's couch after getting let go of his job. If you wanna cashapp or venmo me money to send his way, I'd appreciate it. I just sold my mini fridge and my two longboards to get some money for him. Anything helps at this point Venmo: suvinuji Cashapp: oddtruist
I'm only 12 but drugs have destroyed my life half my family was on them at one point and I had nowhere to go my bond with any family member has never been the same and I've seen it destroy so many good ppl my moms life is Gone and she'll never get out of a little apartment with a dick Bf and being around that and never being told not to do that is really hard Bc at that point u don't know what's wrong and right and for a short period I was addicted to a few things but I've been clean for about six months now
Randomness321backflip stay strong dude. I'm 21 and Ive been on shit for 6 years. I'm detoxing right now trying to get clean and I just keep listening to this song and crying. it is possible to get past it and do something great with your life. we are who we are, not who were around. you got this. I got this. anyone can do it if you want it bad enough. it only get a harder the longer you do it. the sooner u get clean the easier it is. good luck man. 🖤🖤🖤
Oh well good I'm glad! I'm the same my family all thinks i can't do it. nobody every tells me you got this man. That's why I like listening to Macklemore so much it shows me it is possible. it means a lot to me that I could make your day, if I stay clean id like to go back to college and study addiction anything is possible You can do it!
I googled the lyrics after reading that, and most websites say it's "sailed", though one said "saved" and another said "said". It's hard to tell what it's really saying, but I tried my best. Thanks, Peace
Am I the only one who's getting sick and tired of living for their potential instead of what they have? Either I'm living for potential or somebody else.. But only because I can't make myself live for myself or what I have.. Whelp looks like I'm stuck here forever 🙃
I'm trying so hard to stop drinking and using drugs and self harming.. I'm trying so hard and although all I wanna do is run to a bottle right now I'm fighting it. and you can too.
Actually "saved" is the most logical because this song is sbout death and the rap industry, drugs...etc and so why would it be god sailed nothing...it'd be god saved no one because the people in the song were still addicted before and after he came down. Don't know how mucj sense that makes to y'all...tried my best to explain. Thanks for the lyrics vid.
Hey man. This is not spam. If you look on your logic video i have another comment so this will look like spam but it is not. I have a few questions because I just started making lyric videos and wanted to know some tips. Plus we could help each other out. Thanks man.

As musician who has struggled is addiction, this song is painful to listen to in a inspirational and beautiful way.
It's sad that Macklemore's shit songs get more popular than his other songs which actually have meaning
Agreed, I love his songs that have meaning.
dawn iparis I bet this song has more meaning than his other songs
dawn iparis Its not really shit, just because they have less meaning doesn't mean it's bad. Music has a huge variety not just meaning.
dawn iparis this song does have meaning you idiot those who haven't gone through this will never understand this song
I was in the middle of active opiate addiction the first time I heard this song. It just hit me on every level possible. Such a painful thing to go through and this song almost gives you a taste of what it's like.
Praying for you hope you got out of that place. If you haven't God bless and take it from you.
Exactly bro. This brings me back to a time and place every time I listen to it. Thankfully, I'm no longer there now, but this certainly hits home; as you said, on every level possible.
my mom died from drugs and I really get the meaning of this song, and I'm glad that I found a song that I can relate to that others can relate to as well.
Kenzie Wanner I ,am very sorry that you mom died I am very sorry I know that feeling because I been through a lot of sadness
For a lot of reason I really love your comment dude, I'm sorry for your mom.
and she will miss you by gracie
This song was my motivation for becoming sober. Since 16 doing the same shit. It took looking death in the face and hearing songs like this to help open you up. Thank you Macklemore
I think this is one of my favorite songs by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.
Song gives me chills everytime, hard to believe this song came from the guy who sings Thrift Shop.
Alex Ferrara i think Thrift Shop is actually a satire of consumers..
I like thriftshop. Its overplayed but its still good in my opinion. I appreciate the fact that macklemore can makes songs this serious but also just goof off snd have fun in thriftshop

Hey I hope you are doing well

People use drugs for 2 main reasons,
1."You are a product of your environment. You become who You associate with and your surroundings. If you go from living in the suburbs to living in the slums, you won't last if you keep living the suburb way in the slums. You become like them to fit in, survival of the fittest...
2. People don't know how to live/ cope with traumatic events that's happened in there life so they Susie drugs to mask it rather than face it and solve it.
This. Is. Art. -Respect-
Im 17 and this song is one of the things that helped me get out of thay way of life about a year ago. Syrup isnt something to mess with.
My buddy died couple years ago and he had just got out of jail 5 days before he died . And he was playing this song before he went to the store Nd got givin some bad shit .

This song speaks to the broken addict within me. I wouldn't be here if I had money in my darkest hours...
9 Hours Clean...

Are you still?
No

And He did it & hit IT...
My friend just relapsed after 8 months. It breaks my heart so much
I know this seems like a scam, but he got kicked out of his oxford house (where recovering addicts live together in a sober community) and now he's homeless living on a friend's couch after getting let go of his job.

Marijuana is also good as a medicine to help cure cancer and mental health disorders and pain problems too it's a medicine~ Kayleigh S.
Oh shit. 😥. Powerful shit, wow
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.
I love it
It's humming peacefully because in the song it means someone is dying
its not the taste, its the feeling. and it may feel good, but that doesnt last forever, but the ruined relationships and life do.
Am I the only one who's getting sick and tired of living for their potential instead of what they have? Either I'm living for potential or somebody else.. But only because I can't make myself live for myself or what I have.. Whelp looks like I'm stuck here forever 🙃
This is the otherside fences version, which is the remix to the original otherside which sampled the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Wow, that guy did steal your video. I'm going to subscribe to you now.
