| The Doors – Strange Days Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The last couple of lines I always find kind of chilling - I don't know about anyone else, but the "strange night of stone" means death to me. | |

i think sid himself said he was trying to be satirical. i find the first verse quite powerful - i think it tries to invoke empathy, sledgehammer fashion - these people are just like us, they could be our parents, our siblings, our children - except while we're having fun in a holiday camp, they're in a different sort of camp... |

the lyric "too many home fires burning" is correct. it's a reference to "keep the home fires burning" by ivor novello (lyrics, lena ford) "Keep the Home Fires Burning, While your hearts are yearning, Though your lads are far away They dream of home. There's a silver lining Through the dark clouds shining, Turn the dark cloud inside out 'Til the boys come home." |

| but he's not literally endorsing it - it's just a device. trying to bring home just how incredibly sickening and horrific it all was. sort of "how would YOU like it?" | |

thekeeper has it pretty much right. and just because hitler or stalin arent referred to directly in the lyrics doesn't mean they wouldn't be incarcerated in waters hypothetical "home for colonial wasters of life and limb". @inpraiseofolly - the last line is a deeply ironic twist - the applying of the final solution to the real problem... but obviously rog is a deeply humanitarian guy. and this is just a song. he's not genuinely suggesting that ANYONE should have the horror of the holocaust inflicted upon them. but incarcerated and the key thrown away? - yes. |
