Maybe it's not what Jim had in his mind when he wrote it, but for me these lyrics sound like the story of an angel. Before he is born as a human, he is in the Universal Mind (=with God/in Nirvana). He is feeling fine and spending his time setting people free. Maybe he is an artist angel, using his art to open doors to new ways of thinking for others. He is happy doing that and he doesn't know loneliness. But then someone comes along and catches his attention (turns his head around). That person brings a suitcase (going on a journey or maybe on a mission to Earth), and also brings a song which seems like the thing which catches the poet's attention. Maybe because of his talent/inclination for music & songs, the poet angel agrees to go on the mission to Earth. And that's when he starts to know loneliness (and the suffering of human existence). Now, in every place he sees he is looking for a home (heaven). There is a film called City of Angels, that seems kind of a similar story to me. // Anyhow, long live the Doors and the people who love them!
