"Wrong Side" is about how I'm nocturnal and always find myself on the wrong side of the morning, and the night, and seemingly many aspects of life. The birds start singing in the early hours and remind me that I'm still awake whilst the world is sleeping and I've turned everything upside down again. In those times I often find myself musing on the nature of time and how we interact with it, and how it carries on with or without us. But sometimes in that quiet time it enables you to see things a different way as you stop and wonder: why.

The biggest of thanks to my community for encouraging me to record this song, and especially to my twitch community for funding this project, constantly encouraging me and being so patient whilst I learnt how to record and produce this all myself. This single would not exist without you, and I'm so grateful to each and every one of you 💜


WRONG SIDE - Lyrics
by CERIAN

I stretch the night into day	
“It’s a backwards way to live” they say
I stretch the hours beside
But it won’t turn the tide of time away
	
And a choir of birds are singing songs 
That say “you don’t belong”
And the morning bells are ringing
Singing “time goes on and on”
And the world will turn without me
I’ll be late to say goodbye
If you ever saw the wrong side
Did you stop to wonder why?

I’m on the wrong side of the morning
And the wrong side of the night
Now the light side is dawning
I’ll be left cos I couldn’t be right

Here in no-man’s land	
There are no plans
But it doesn’t last
No-one to hold my hand
As I watch the sands of time 
Slide past

And a choir of birds are singing songs 
That say “you don’t belong”
And the morning bells are ringing
Singing “time goes on and on”
And the world will turn without me
I’ll be late to say goodbye
If you ever saw the wrong side
Did you stop to wonder why?

I’m on the wrong side of the morning
And the wrong side of the night
Now the light side is dawning
I’ll be left cos I couldn’t be right

The birds are singing like a symphony
For an audience of one
I know I’m meant to be asleep
For yesterday is gone

The birds are singing like a symphony
For an audience of one
I know it isn’t meant for me
Now a new day has begun

I’m on the wrong side of the morning
And the wrong side of the night
Now the light side is dawning
And I’m left cos I couldn’t be right

But the wrong side of the morning
Is the bright side of the night
When you stayed awake through the silence
To stop and wonder: why

Wrong Side
