I find that The Doors have quite dark lyrics.
Peace Frog I find is rather contradictory, since the music itself is quite upbeat, but the lyrics are talking about 'blood in the streets'.
What do you think of The Door's lyrics?

What do you think of The Door's lyrics? I'd like to start off by saying this is one of, if not my favorite Doors song, anyway I believe he was sugarcoating a strong, dark concept that he was showing. Now when I say sugarcoating I obviously dont mean that it was just like all bubblegum and filled in and hidden messages and crap, all I mean is that he took a great upbeat, song and filled with quite the opposite lyrics trying to show a message that normally people would think he was insane or something if he had used a dark tone.

"Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding/ Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind" and "Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers" really stand out as "WHOA" to me.
These lyrics must mean something, perhaps in a political/social light, not just random morbid lyrics. I'd really have to sit down and analyze "Peace Frog" the way I do poetry.
Wish me luck, lol! heart heart heart

Rockerpixie - Lol, yeah, good luck.
RockerT - I think that's exactly what he was doing. He did a damn good job of it too.
It kind of reminds me of how some people think that 'Every Breath You Take' by the Police is romantic, when he's singing about a stalker.

Wish me luck, lol! heart heart heart It must have something to do with the incident he experienced as a kid. Because one day his family was on a road trip or something and they came across the carnage of a terrible car accident and there were dead Indians everyhwere, and Jim said that really effected him. I'm not sure about the finger chopping though.

I'm not sure about the finger chopping though. yeah he claimed to be inhabited by the indian's spirits or something from that day.
it really messed him up, I can't blame him.
But yeah, about Peace Frog, Rocker T got it head on haha 3nodding
and I kinda like the morbid lyrics in the songs. It makes them interesting, and you can always have something to think about.
But I dunno, Land Ho! isn't quite morbid.. (though it is a tad depressing). Haha I love that song<33
oh, and about Maxwell's Silver Hammer (I loove that song).
I read somewhere that Paul laughed while recording that because apparently John Lennon mooned him on the word behind or something.
hahah
And I found a quote from George Harrison "I mean, come on, Maxwell's Silver Hammer was so fruity!"
hahah, it made me die when I read that

yeah, Peace Frog is actually two poems that they super-imposed into one song. one is a metaphore for Jim's life:
Theres blood in the streets, its up to my ankles
Theres blood on the streets, its up to my knee
Blood on the streets in the town of chicago
Blood on the rise, its following me
She came and then she drove away
Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness
Blood in the streets its up to my thigh
Yeah the river runs down the legs of the city
The women are crying red rivers of weepin
Indians scattered on dawns highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young childs fragile eggshell mind
Blood in the streets in the town of new haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of phantastic l.a.
Blood streams her brain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
Theres blood in the streets, its up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, its up to my knee
Blood in the streets in the town of chicago
Blood on the rise, its following me
and the other, Pam's:
She came
She came
She came
Think about the break of day
She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
She came
She came
She came
She came
She came into town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
