Stay Open (feat. MØ) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Even in the darkest hour
You don't have to search so hard
You're the one that holds the power
Now's the time to play your part
If you could see your true colours, you wouldn't have to try so hard
Hiding under all these covers, we all work the way we are

[Chorus]
It's the same with me and you and everybody
All hold tight our breath while waiting for the party
So many doors, so many closed to us
Oh, baby, my heart's open
You know that I stay open
Lost in the night, standing outside the club
Oh, baby, my heart's open
You know that I stay open for you

[Verse 2]
Baby, I can read the stars
And I see how they shine for you
Don't cave yourself up in the darkness
So many better things to do
Wish you could see your true colours
Don't be afraid to play your cards
The sky is open, you should follow
We all work the way we are

[Chorus]
It's the same with me and you and everybody
All hold tight our breath while waiting for the party
So many doors, so many closed to us
Oh, baby, my heart's open
You know that I stay open
Lost in the night, standing outside the club
Oh, baby, my heart's open
You know that I stay open for you

[Refrain]
You know, you know
Oh, you know, you know
Open for you

[Bridge]
It's the same with me and you and everybody
All hold tight our breath while waiting for the party
It's the same with me and you and everybody
All hold tight our breath while waiting for the party

[Chorus]
So many doors, so many closed to us
Oh, baby, my heart's open
You know that I stay open
Lost in the night, standing outside the club
Oh, baby, my heart's open
You know that I stay open for you

Diplo, Diplodocus, Wes Gully, and Wes Diplo are all pseudonyms of Thomas Wesley Pentz, a Philadelphia-based producer and DJ since 2003. Together with DJ Low Budget he runs Hollertronix, a party and music collective. In addition to his solo career, he has worked with Sri-Lankan/Tamil singer and artist M.I.A.. The two were also romantically involved. Pentz's alias, short for Diplodocus, derives from his childhood fascination with dinosaurs.

As a DJ, Diplo is characterized by his eclectic, often 80s-oriented mashups, mixtapes, and live sets. On his full-length solo effort Florida, however, his sound is closer to sample-based cinematic instrumental hip hop, not unlike the work of DJ Shadow.

Born in Mississippi and raised across the southern United States, Diplo picked up much of the local culture while growing up there. Music styles such as dirty south, crunk and Miami bass are now trademark ingredients of the Hollertronix output. Pentz's solo work is also influenced by Southern Gothic and other southern literature. Additionally, world music is a strong musical influence on Diplo, especially baile funk which he encountered whilst traveling in Brazil.

Diplo was recently signed to Ninja Tune, on the Big Dada imprint. In 2006, he started his own label, Mad Decent, signing Brazilian baile funk group Bonde do Role and DJ Blaqstarr.

Diplo also is one of two DJ comprising the group Major Lazer. Made up of DJs Diplo and Switch, the two were introduced after working with M.I.A..
