From the recording PSST
The lyrics touch on the coexistence of opposing truths, cyclical patterns, and how understanding can shift depending on the perspective when viewed from another angle. The song explores the concept that situations can be viewed and interpreted in multiple ways.
Lyrics
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THINGS FROM THE OTHER WAY ROUND
CAN YOU SEE A DIFFERENCE?
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
VICE VERSA, VICE VERSA
NOW THERE HAVE BEEN ALTERNATE VIEWS
AND INTERESTING TURNS
NO ONE EVER WANTS TO LOSE
VICE VERSA, VICE VERSA
IS IT OUT OF ORDER
OR PERHAPS COULD IT JUST BE YOU’VE GOT IT BACKWARDS
THE REVERSE OF WHAT YOU SAID IS TRUE
IT WORKS BOTH WAYS
VICE VERSA
WHAT A TURNABOUT GETTING IT FROM BOTH ENDS
IT’S ABOUT FACE
THERE’S CONFLICTING REPORTS OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN
VICE VERSA, VICE VERSA
IS IT OUT OF ORDER
OR PERHAPS COULD IT JUST BE YOU’VE GOT IT BACKWARDS
THE REVERSE OF WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE
IT WORKS BOTH WAYS
VICE VERSA
THE POSITION HAS CHANGED CONTRARIWISE
IT’S QUITE THE OPPOSITE
BUT IT STILL MEANS THE SAME OTHERWISE
VICE VERSA, VICE VERSA
IS IT OUT OF ORDER
OR PERHAPS COULD IT JUST BE YOU’VE GOT IT BACKWARDS
THE REVERSE OF WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE
IT WORKS BOTH WAYS
VICE VERSA
