Pistachio Trees Buying

humanity must die so that you can live



"Father?", "Yes, son?", "I want to kill you," "Mother? I want to fuck you. " This the howl of Jim Morrison in the highlight of''The End''. Scream that has shocked the whole world. It was 1967. And it was the first Doors album,''The Doors'' .

In an interview, Paul Rothchild, producer of the album, says that after the recording of the song Jim was very emotionally felt, felt insecure, "Someone understands me?" He shouted in the studio, his voice breaking with tears. Yes, I said, I understand you. And then we dived into a long discussion.
Basically
Jim wanted to explain this:''Kill your father mean''kill all those things in you that you were instilled and does not belong to you ... are not yours, must die so that you may live. And Fuck your mother''means''back to the essence, back to reality, the primordial mother, your nature. ''Kill your father and your mother's broom is like saying''suppress''the alien concepts and return to your reality.'' In this sense,''The End'': the end of alien concepts, the beginning of personal ideas.


NB
The interview I found in''The Lizard King's songs''(Kaos Edizioni, 1992, edited by Danny Sugerman). Bearing in mind that the end of this song is about the end of alien concepts, gives more chills than usual ''The End''
