The Door
Dr. Mastermind Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Writing good songs in my sleep, forget them when I wake
Run along now, or you'll be late
Loving neat lines on an empty page, shivers down my spine
Oh no let's go, it's nearly time
The more I open, the more you shut
Like a one way door
The more you open, the more I shut
I just don't know who you are anymore
Don't speak, you're so quiet
Quit while you're ahead
Go left, go right, stand up, sit down
Don't break the broken bread
We've got headaches in our heads
'Cause the more we open, the more they shut
Fuck this one way door
The more they open, the more we shut
We're just not living anymore
Listen to the silence that surrounds you
In your little sanctuary
I’m lying on your bed with hated in my head
I’ve got to get away
And I know that you will hurt but this thing’s not gonna work
We’ve got to let it go
So get out of my head, and get back to yours instead
We’ve got to let it go
Is it too loud for your eager ears
Place me in your suppression box with your odd socks
And don’t look back behind you, the finish line is near
You’re all grown up now and you’ve got no time for tears
The more I open the more you shut
Like a one way door
The more you open the more I shut
I don’t know you anymore
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh




I don’t know you anymore
I don’t know you anymore

Overall Meaning

The song "The Door" by Dr. Mastermind is about a person who is struggling with a relationship that has become one-sided. The singer is writing great songs when they're sleeping but can't remember them when they wake up. They urge the other person to leave because they may be running late. They like to keep tidy lines in empty books, which gives them a tingling feeling. However, the other person has started to shut down and not open up more, like a one-way door. It's as though the more the singer opens up, the tighter the other person becomes. They are not sure who the other person is anymore.


The singer tells the other person to silently listen to the surroundings in their little sanctuary. They understand that the other person will be hurt, but they need to break up because it's not working. They encourage the person to get out of their head and go back to theirs instead so they can both get over each other. The singer feels that the other person puts them in a suppression box and doesn't allow them to be heard. The singer is now grown and doesn't have much time for tears, but they realize that they don't know the other person anymore.

Если бы Корекиё был гетеросексуалом, то он явно выбрал Гонту или Рантаро в виде девушек (Да, я еще шипперю Корекиё/Рантаро)
If Korekiyo were straight, he would clearly choose Gonta or Rantaro as girls (Yeah, I still ship Korekiyo/Rantaro)
