A Feast Of Friends - Jim Morrison

[rajiv]

Hi guys lets figure out the meaning of this song, might be interesting. Here is the lyrics - http://mykhaoticmind.blogspot.com/2008/ ... iends.html

This is one of my favorite song but the meaning is a bit tricky. What I figured out till now is Jim is talking about death, obviously. I like the part where he explains death -

"They are waiting to take us into
The severed garden
Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful
Comes death on a stranger hour
Unannounced, unplanned for
Like a scaring over-friendly guest you've
Brought to bed"

In the next bit I think Jim tried to say how people live for afterlife more than reality, but in reality this is it. Afterlife is made up by the corrupt religious institutions -

"No more money, no more fancy dress
This other Kingdom seems by far the best
Until its other jaw reveals incest
And loose obedience to a vegetable law"

The final bit I think he tried to say how he wants to live his life with what he has, the people he holds close to rather than spending eternity with the countless others -

"I will not go
Prefer a Feast of Friends
To the Giant family."

As you can see a lot is missing. Give it a shot guys.

I love the part

-"Death makes angels of us all
And gives us wings
Where we had shoulders
Smooth as raven's claws"

and then the guitar takes lead and gives you wings and towards the end of the song, it throws you back to this sad boring world again
