Music Quotes:
Its a funny thing, I noticed that when people are joking theyre usually dead serious, and when theyre dead serious its usually pretty funny. So actually I think that anything that you say means exactly what you say and its opposite. - Jim Morrison People 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. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel - Jim Morrison I believe in a long, prolonged derangement of the senses to attain the unknown. Our pale reasoning hides the infinite from us - Jim Morrison Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free. - Jim Morrison I wouldn't mind dying in a plane crash. It'd be a good way to go. I don't want to die in my sleep, or of old age, or OD...I want to feel what it's like. I want to taste it, hear it, smell it. Death is only going to happen to you once; I don't want to miss it. - Jim Morrison That's what real love amounts to- letting a person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending- performing. You get to love your pretence. It's true, we're locked in an image, an act. - Jim Morrison People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend. - Jim Morrison The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder. - Jim Morrison I like people who shake other people up and make them feel uncomfortable. - Jim Morrison I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps 'Oh look at that!' Then- whoosh, and I'm gone...and they'll never see anything like it ever again... and they won't be able to forget me-ever. - Jim Morrison I am the lizard king. I can do anything. - Jim Morrison Love cannot save you from your own fate. - Jim Morrison I think the highest and lowest points are the important ones. Anything else is just...in between. I want the freedom to try everything. - Jim Morrison I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences. - Jim Morrison Being drunk is a good disguise. I drink so I can talk to assholes. This includes me. - Jim Morrison Where's your will to be weird? - Jim Morrison Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts. - Jim Morrison The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on and individual level. It's got to happen inside first. You can take away a man's political freedom and you won't hurt him- unless you take away his freedom to feel. That can destroy him. That kind of freedom can't be granted. Nobody can win it for you. - Jim Morrison This is the strangest life I've ever known. - Jim Morrison There are things known, and there are things unknown, And in between are the Doors. - Jim Morrison Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws. - Jim Morrison Whoever controls the media, controls the mind. - Jim Morrison The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. ...You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. - Jim Morrison Listen, real poetry doesn't say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through anyone that suits you. - Jim Morrison When you make your peace with authority, you become authority. - Jim Morrison We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict. - Jim Morrison Drugs are a bet with your mind. - Jim Morrison How can I set free anyone who doesn't have the guts to stand up alone and declare his own freedom? I think it's a lie �' people claim they want to be free �' everybody insists that freedom is what they want the most, the most sacred and precious thing a man can possess. But that's bullshit! People are terrified to be set free �' they hold on to their chains. They fight anyone who tries to break those chains. It's their security…How can they expect me or anyone else to set them free if they don't really want to be free? - Jim Morrison If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel. - Jim Morrison The future's uncertain and the end is always near. - Jim Morrison The time to hesitate is through. - Jim Morrison Let's just say I was testing the bounds of reality. I was curious to see what would happen. That's all it was: curiosity. - Jim Morrison I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder , chaos-especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom... Rather than starting inside, I start outside and reach the mental through the physical. - Jim Morrison You're all a bunch of fuckin' slaves! - Jim Morrison I like any reaction I can get with my music. Just anything to get people to think. I mean if you can get a whole room full of drunk, stoned people to actually wake up and think, you're doing something. - Jim Morrison Each generation wants new symbols, new people, new names. They want to divorce themselves from their predecessors. - Jim Morrison Actually I don't remember being born, It must have happened during one of my black outs. - Jim Morrison Blake said that the body was the soul's prison unless the five senses are fully developed and open. He considered the senses the 'windows of the soul.' When sex involves all the senses intensely, it can be like a mystical experience. - Jim Morrison When play dies it becomes the Game When sex dies it becomes Climax. - Jim Morrison Submitted by: LucidLupin

I got this idea way back in '94 after seeing Ray Manzarek and Roger Daltrey doing an impromptu jam on "Denton". It dawned on me that, well the Doors needed a singer and a bass player, and the who needed a drummer, guitarist and keyboard player. The name was purely an afterthought that made me laugh.

Dirty Lyrics:
"Light My Fire"
The Dirty Lyrics: You know that it would be untrue
You know that it would be a lie If I was to say to you We couldn't get much higher... C'mon, baby light my fire... Time to set the night on fire... Why They're Dirty: I love this song... This song is about sex - it's pretty self-explanatory. When Jim sings about not being able to get much higher, he's talking about climaxing and when he sings about lighting his fire, my guess is that his talking about receiving oral sex. Anyway, the song is sooo sexy!

Scary Song Lyrics:
"Rider On The Storm"
The Lyrics: rider on the storm killer on the road if you give this man a ride sweet family will die
Why: it is a song about a hitch-hiking serial killer
Submitted by: art
| "The End"
The Lyrics: The killer awoke before dawn.
He put his boots on. He took a face from the ancient gallery And he walked on down the hall. He went into the room where his sister lived and then he Paid a visit to his brother and then he He walked on down the hall and And he came to a door And he looked inside. "Father?" "Yes, son?" "I want to kill you." "Mother? I want to... f*ck you" Why: Even before I noticed the Oedipal connotations in the song (whenever I look up the lyrics to this song, they say he says "f*ck you", but all I hear is him screaming incoherently), this part of the song always creeped me out.

"Light My Fire"
Producers of "The Ed Sullivan Show" request that Jim Morrison change the lyrics of this #1 song during The Doors' September 1967 appearance on the program. Morrison initially agrees to alter the line, "Girl we couldn't get much higher" to a more innocuous phrase. However, during the live performance, Morrison sings the original lyric. The Doors are not invited back to the program.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):
"Getting booted-off of Ed Sullivan"
You thought the FCC was strict now, back then they told Jim Morrison not to say 'higher' on "The Ed Sullivan Show" since the FCC thought it was a Drug Reference. But still...The Doors sang "Light my Fire" without any alterations...and never played on Ed Sullivan again, even Sullivan was upset as well since he refused to shake their hands after their first and last performance on "The Ed Sullivan Show"!
