Break on Through (To the Other Side) by The Doors

Artist: The Doors

Genre: Pop

Length: 2:25

This is the quintessential Doors song. Vivid with exceptional imagery, drug use metaphor, psychedelic musical composition, and amazing vocals, this is a great example of everything The Doors do the best, and all on the same track. Jim Morrison was way into his psychedelics, and this is most likely a reference on LSD use, and the presumption that it helps users to have that breakthrough… Getting out of (social) reality, drawing new connections and acquiring a clearer image of what’s going on....

Break on Through (To the Other Side) lyrics

You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side, yeah
We chasing our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
But can you still recall
Time we cried
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She get high
She get high
She get high
She get high, yeah
I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain us
Eyes that lied
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, oh, yeah
Made the scene
Week to week
Day to day
Hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, break on through
Break on through, break on through
