You know the day destroys the night
The day can be so overwhelming that it intrudes upon what should be a peaceful night.

Night divides the day
This line is a follow-up to the previous line, explaining that night tries to keep a check on the impact of day.

Tried to run
Perhaps they tried to escape the issues related to time, with the realization that they were unable to do so.

Tried to hide
They may have had to face issues in the past and had tried to avoid them, however, they realize that it's better to face them.

Break on through to the other side
The song's title is about moving on from something and is quite motivational.

We chased our pleasures here
Talking about the joy that they sought and the things they did to gain happiness.

Dug our treasures there
They went digging to find treasures that could offer them a source of joy, but many of them were short-lived.

But can you still recall The time we cried?
Even after chasing various pleasures and treasures, they were not able to escape sadness and cry out of pain.

Come on, yeah
A simple expression encouraging them to keep going and trying harder.

Everybody loves my baby
They have found someone whom everyone loves.

She get high
Though they are worried about what drugs might be doing to her, people are still in awe of her attractiveness.

I found an island in your arms Country in your eyes
In their loved ones' arms, they found a sheltered place where they felt protected and safe. Her eyes had enough depth to look like a diverse entity altogether.

Arms that chain us Eyes that lie
But, as amazing as it was to be in their loved one's arms, they now started feeling trapped while trying to keep up with her lies that are so hard to believe.

Made the scene Week to week Day to day Hour to hour
Suggesting that the weeks seem to blend together, and one finds themselves rushing from day to day, trying to keep up with the day's tasks.

The gate is straight Deep and wide
The door to the other side is not only wide enough, but it is also straight, implying that they don't need to follow too many regulations to get there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
A simple chant that helps one gain some motivation to break on through to the other side.
