Magic Doors Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't deny what I've become
I'm just emotionally undone
I can't deny, I can't be someone else
When I have tried to find the words
To describe this sense absurd
Try to resist my thoughts, but I can't lie

[Chorus]
I'm only losin' myself
My desire I can't hide
No reason I'm alive for

[Verse 2]
I can't divide or hide from me
I don't know who I'm meant to be
I guess it's just the person that I am
Often I've dreamt that I don't wake
Enjoy the gift of my mistake
But yet again, I'm wrong and I confess

[Chorus]
I'm only losin' myself
My desire I can't hide
No reason I'm alive for

[Chorus]
I'm only losin' myself
My desire I can't hide
No reason I'm alive for

About

Magic Doors is a good choice of single, in that it is one of the more percussion-led tracks from Third. After verses brimming with menacing Eastern drones, harsh minimal percussion and that familiar sense of foreboding the trio do so well, the chorus is lifted into a state of gorgeous confessional splendor by some chunky piano chords and a devastatingly fragile vocal from Gibbons.
