Los Angeles is a city looking for a ritual to join its fragments, and The Doors are looking for such a ritual also. A kind of electric wedding. We hide ourselves in the music to reveal ourselves.
Jim MorrisonPeople are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it.
Jim MorrisonThe Night is young & full of rest I canโt describe the way sheโs dressโd Sheโll pander to some strange requests Anything that you suggest Anything to please her guest.
Jim MorrisonMaybe primitive people have less bullshit to let go of, to give up. A person has to be willing to give up everythingโnot just wealth. All the bullshit he's been taughtโall society's brainwashing. You have to let go of all that to get to the other side. Most people aren't willing to do that.
