Door to Success
Monks of Doom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The door to success is always open
What door are you unlocking today?
The door to success is always open
First door
Second door - just not enough
Third door - I see you're just not listening to the voice of reason
Left, right!
Going up
What door are you unlocking today?
The door to success is always open
What door are you unlocking today?
The door to success is always open
[let me take you]
[With the eye] on the carrot
The door to success is always open
Keep your eye on the diamonds eveyone!
The door to success is always open!
Curiosity will use the skeleton key.
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la
The thrill of the chase is on
You've got you're place in the master plan
The thrill of the chase is on
You've got you're place in the master plan
Cheat cheat cheat cheat
Curiosity, curiosity
Left, right!
Left, right!
The Monks of Doom's song Door to Success is a powerful and straightforward message about the opportunities that we have in life, and how we should take advantage of them. The lyrics begin with a question that sets the tone for the rest of the song: What door are you unlocking today? They emphasize that the door to success is always open, urging listeners to take advantage of it. Throughout the song, the idea of different doors is repeated, with the first and second doors being insufficient, and the third door being accompanied by a warning that someone is not listening to the voice of reason. The left and right directions are then spoken, conveying a sense of decision-making.
The song then shifts to a more optimistic and uplifting message, where the lyrics remind us to keep our eye on the prize or the "carrot" and that the door to success is always open. The lyrics then shift again to a more playful and lighthearted message, with the idea that curiosity is the skeleton key that will open the door to success. The song ends with a repeating refrain about the thrill of the chase and how everyone has their place in the master plan. The lyrics convey the idea that success requires a combination of vigilance, decision-making, and playfulness.
