The Doors – I Can't See Your Face In My Mind Lyrics 9 years ago
@[Milquetoast:8542] - See my reply to sawfish666 above for my interpretation of this. I saw quite a few carnival dogs and spinning Aztec calendar stones back in the day ;)

@[sawfish666:8541] - I believe this lyric describes being under the influence of psychedelic drugs e,g, LSD. In this state one can generate an image in ones mind while other mental images involuntarily emerge and encroach upon the original image and morph or obliterate it. In this case Jim's tripping like crazy, thinking of the girl he's breaking up with and having the image of her face he's holding in his mind start to dissolve around the edges due to the secondary images encroaching on it. The encroaching images first look like carnival dogs (little dogs with pointy hats?) but probably morph into something else very shortly thereafter, like spinning Aztec calendar stones. Ah, the late 1960's.. ya kinda had to be there. Cheers.

@[sawfish666:8540] - It's absolutely right. This is Jim Morrison we're talking about.
