Sometimes you need to get away to escape love gone wrong.

Small Sins - "Holiday" - Mood Swings (2007)

Stars - "Toxic Holiday" - Nightsongs (2001)

As the last song suggests, not all holidays are enjoyable.

Pantera - "Psycho Holiday" - Cowboys from Hell (1990)

Even though holidays aren't always great, sometimes they're still better than your day-to-day life.
