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.

[Verse 1]
You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run, tried to hide
[Chorus]
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side, yeah
[Verse 2]
We chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
But can you still recall the time we cried?
[Chorus]
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
[Instrumental Break]
[Organ Solo]
Hey!
Come on, yeah
[Bridge]
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She get high
She get high
She get high
She get high, yeah
[Verse 3]
I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain us, eyes that lied
[Chorus]
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, ow!
Aw yeah!
[Verse 4]
Made the scene, week to week
Day to day, hour to hour
Gate is straight, deep and wide
[Outro]
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, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
