![]() ![]() is quite accurate in his understanding of what Jim wrote and intended with the song. Mmann from La Paz, MexicoSince my first husband was assistant engineer when The End was recorded, and we personally knew Jim, I would like to say that CY from L.A.Gandalf from PhilippinesI wonder whether Morrison ever read about the spiritualist Meher Bana who toured England on a Blue Bus.Crissysix from StlJust want to tell all true doors and Morrison Fans that You Rock! I'm proud to be in the world with such deep feeling souls!.Its an ironic message coming from a man considered to be a spokesman for a generation pushing for peace and love. what does it mean when at the climax of the song and presumably he has finally arrived at some inner truth (he has even dropped the whole oedipus complex thing at that point) he is reduced to just repeating “f*ck” and “kill” over and over again. It perhaps was a worthwhile experiment but I think should have been cut from the final song mix that was released.īut what really bothers me is if you buy into the idea that the spoke word part is Morrison peeling away all those layers of convention, norms, inhibitions, etc. Being the 60s, I think this was the kind of experiment people did as a way to explore a person’s inner psychology without constraints - just sing whatever comes to mind. ![]() ![]() I read an interview where Morrison said it started out as a breakup song but kind of morphed into a song about death being a release from the pain of life, which explains perfectly the line “my only friend, the end” and the meaning behind the song - except for the spoken word part which in my opinion has almost nothing to do with the original meaning and ruins the song.Īs far as the spoken word part it seems pretty obvious to me that Morrison is just ad-libbing here and it is just a collection of spontaneous thoughts/ideas that have no real connected meaning. Dude from North CarolinaI’m a Doors fan, but this song always kind of bothered me.Thus the symbolism of the dead soldiers asking "Driver where you takin' us". Their bodies would be taken away on a bus usually blue in color. Uncleed from Canadathe blue bus symbolizes Viet Nam and the american soldiers killed there.The End is a theme song in Hearts of Darkness. Ada Christine Lorusso from Johannesburg, South AfricaAlways loved his music.from Courtenay Bc.A nice long classic Doors song. ![]()
