Mary of Silence Lyrics

Cover art for Mary of Silence lyrics by Mazzy Star

This song is about Mary Jane Kelly #5 of Jack the Rippers "time"1888 in conjunction with Mary Werbelow, who was Jim Morrison\'s first true love. The final track on the Doors first album is called "The end". Morrison originally wrote this song for ex girlfriend Mary Werbelow in some instances, however, the song has a strange trips where parallels entangling the women. Mary #1 is referring to MJK who is sweet. And #2 Mary has remained silent or asleep, literally unknown and unspoken. Present/past split or rip passage of time in between as if some 3rd party personal knowledge started to run amok.
