Doors, The - Stoned Immaculate Lyrics

out here in the perimeter - there are no stars - out here we is stoooned. ... immaculate !

What a waste ....love his poetry . If he had only tried finding GOD. What could have his talents have brought to us now? He overdosed everyday, I lived like that too ....being clean and serene beats every high. But had to live it and find out .Sad Jim didn't live longer RIP MoJo

The blonde was called Freedom,the dark one Enterprise❤🖤

Out here in the perimeter there are no stars, out here we're stoned, immaculate

“Out here in the perimeter, there are no stars. Out here we is stoned immaculate”
I’m here because of curren$y

Who or what is curren$y? You mean money? 💰

I was stoned immaculate on the perimeter.

Way out here, there are no stars. Way out here it’s only us, dawg

Reach into your head

Do not waste the dawn play reveile

Omitted some words: "The Negroes of the forest, brightly feathered/And they are saying: 'Live with us in forests of azure. For out here on the perimeter there are no stars. Out here we is stoned. Immaculate.'"

Jim was the bomb; ahead of his time!✌🐶

That opening line is a punch to the gut, man.

The poem is all about the journey from childhood to youth, and then about how life is.

'For wasting the dawn'
Dawn here refers to the time between adolescence and youth, a connection between night and day.
'No eternal reward...'
No reward waits for us, when we get older, to supplement us. Out of the warm shelter of our parents, we emerge, into the raw, cruel world.
'Back in those days...confused'
We know that about the bridge which connects childhood and youth, don't we?
'One summer night, going to the pier,'
'Pier' is the bridge connecting the childhood from youth.
'I ran into two young girls.
The blonde was called Freedom,
The dark one, Enterprise.'
Now, youth offers us Freedom. 'Ran into' is important, because, it expresses really well how suddenly the freedom comes.
'Enterprise' can mean a lot of things. It can be a relationship, or a pursuit of a dream.
And now, the two girls, the poetic expression of youth tell a story. A story about life. Now this poetically means that the writer is going through his life, a story.
''Now listen to this,
I'll tell you about Texas Radio and the Big Beat.
Soft driven slow and mad,
Like some new language.''
Life. A new language. In the sixties, the radio around Texas used to be from Mexico. You can't understand the lyrics, but the language. It might seem like a blabber, but poetically, its a great paragraph.
"Reaching your head
With the cold, sudden fury
Of a divine messenger."
Life does that. Some things can't be interpreted, but felt.
"Let me tell you about heartache
And the loss of god."
The 'g' of 'god' is not in caps. 'Loss of God' is the loss of faith in God.

"Wandering, wandering in hopeless night
Out here in the perimeter there are no stars"
Poetical expression. Hard to define.
Life becomes hopeless at times. 'no stars' stars are expression for, again, hope.

"Out here we is stoned
Immaculate."

Out of all the fuss of life, 'we'(the past and present of the poet) is(used to describe 'we' is one person) is stoned clean.
Stoned Immaculate(immaculate means clean, pure).

I interpreted it as Jim saying not to waste life here and now just to be happy in heaven. I mean think about it, Jim died before the age of thirty, so he never wanted to suffer for a long time on this earth just to go to heaven.

No eternal reward will forgive us now for waisting the dawn!

Jim Morrison was an actor pimp, his father literally started the Vietnam war. You are all a bunch of fucking slaves

Jim jam has such a beautiful speaking voice.

mo+re3!...,,,

Soft driven slow and mad like some new language. ......

unforgettable jim

out here on the perimeter there are no stars out here we are stoned immaculate

#damnright

there will never ever be another jim and if it takes going to hell to meet him well I'll be so glad to meet him one day

July the 3rd, 2016

I can't remember the name of one of the early days of the doors but I know some of the lyrics can someone please help me. Jim sings "when I put a spike into my veins and I tell you things aren't quite the same and I rush and my run and I feel like Jesus son heroine "

That's not Doors.  That's Velvet Underground.

Heroin by velvet underground

It is in the 91 Doors movie with Val Kilmer, during the Warhol party scene. Maybe that's why you mixed them up.

Do you a music vid where Jim was really stoned

How would you guys interpret "the blonde was called freedom, the dark one enterprise". what a fantastic song.

I thought it was a commentary about slavery in America but then I realized, that it's basically about prostitution in Harlem. "Enterprise" because prostitution was the only shot that most girls had at earning money enough to get out of there.

the blonde represents the people the dark one the capitalism!

Freedom is the freedom that comes with youth, and growing up but enterprise is the tough decisions you have to make, and the complexities that get in the way of freedom.

is there a song version of this? I mean like Newborn Awakening vs Peace Frog

+Dmitry Avgustis The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat) on LA Woman

+ Dave Clarke Oh thank you so much :)

Hello to all the fellow Doors fans ,is this not the best music ever created? cheers my friends ,I embrace you all.

+toniquix best music ever created by the doors?

toniquix I love you to man..all my brothers and sisters who preach The Doors

Cheers 🍻!

Yes, yes, yes

the background music absolutely do not belong to the lyrics.

Beautiful, ever lasting, infinite in it's being.

Genius poetry.

"I'll tell you this" the ego builder

I impress my stepmum by lip syncing to these male rockstars

Curren$y paid homage 

"Let me tell you about heartache and the loss of God " My favorite line.👍

not 'God' its 'god'. Genius, it shows the loss of faith in 'god'.

Neitzche reference?

Elise Tate same

Love it

My Fucking idol!

Happy birthday Jim

We need more Jim in this world.

mr.mojo risin'

Oh but Jim, you did tell us about heartache and the loss of god...

Every time I lose my mind, I have a greater grasp of reality. It's nice to find someone who gets that. I sure do miss Jim.

follow him to the well, right to the well

Curren$y has deep respect for jim morrison please fans of jim morrison please give curren$y a chance he is really trying to save the genre of hip hop but incorporating ideas from this genius free radical thinker

Fuck curren$y

Like if Curren$y took you here.

with his music !

@mickostrat Good question...Christ is for sure the first. Second one- of all the the other poets Gibran refers to (Keats, Blake...) none were certifiable loons at the time of their deaths Nietzsche was. Good call.

Mojo had the best beard in history, BY FAR

One of the best albums ever made
Hell yeah

So Out of Style and nasty sounding!

I have a way with words tirds Jim spoke of birds.

"later in the valley...." blah blah blah..what's all that about?,no wonder people get crossed wires,stop the pretension and talk straight.!

@TYRRAM666 tl;dr

"...'Twas the soul of Judas Iscariot,
So grim, and gaunt, and gray,
Raised the body of Judas Iscariot,
And carried it away..."
- Robert Williams Buchanan

what do you mean heaven ? no eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn. Why would anyone need that explained to them ? I've been listening to this album since I was thirteen. Three years after it came out and I'm here to say it is by far one of the best albums EVER MADE ! I never get bored with it and i can probably recite the thing from memory. Anyone who needs this explained to them will never get it . It means what you want it too. Its myths & stories & poetry. . . . WAKE UP !!

Spitta Andretti

'no eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn' <3

@jhomse

@jhomes

Cheers homes. I'm happy to see the golden global sense of irony hasn't been lost on the great masses. Jim would be break dancing in a small plot in France if he could read your bitter post. Much love brother. X

i'll tell you this, no eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn

@mclovin5211 You mean Heaven ?

I like to think of myself as jim Morrisonesque however I'm talentless, can't sing, crap at poetry, over 40 and still alive. I am fat with a beard and do like a smoke though.........

ooo gives me chills :D

Stoned Immaculate... and im prob. not the only one...

@locolalo1364 Hahahahaha me too, only listening to his voice makes me jizz hahaha

@AK4TsEv3N I Jizzed!!!

0 dislikes, just the way it should be

Out here in the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned, inmaculate..

all hail the lizard king!

@skater361flip Eh, va bene! Io parlo italiano veramente! Io ti mando la mia e-mail e il link per la storia Gibran.

Guarda sulla tua pagina youtube per la mia e-mail. Ciao!!!

@skater361flip The short story/poem this comes from is called "Slavery" from a book of his prose titled "The Storm" (you can find it at Amazon I'm sure). Morrison seemed to me to be influenced heavily by TS Eliot, but there is quite a bit of Gibran influence (in my opinion) as well.

“You're all a bunch of fuckin' slaves!”- Jim Morrison

Enjoy.

@funnyking95

Check out- wikipedia Khalil Gibran

"...later, in the valley of the mists, where the future is hidden and the past not yet forgotten, I encountered an emaciated specter, eyes wide open staring at the sun... I asked "who are you?" ; "Liberty!" it said...; "where are your children?" I asked; ""One died crucified and one died mad...none other was born..." and it disappeared in front of me behind the mists..." Kahlil Gibran "Slavery"

Thanks Jim...thanks Kahlil...a little bit of the truth you have smashed free from the wall...

Kahlil Gibran lives here in this work...
