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 chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
Can't you still recall
The time we cried?
Break on through
To the other side
Break on through
To the other side, yeah

Break on through
To the other side

Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She gets
She gets
She gets high
She gets high

I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chained us
Eyes that lie
Break on through
To the other side
Break on through
To the other side
Break on through
To the other side, yeah

Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She gets
She gets
She gets high
She gets high
She gets high
She gets high

Made the scene
Week to week
Day to day
Hour to hour
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
Yeah (x9)

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
