Lalah from Wasilla, AkI sing this when the coworker in the cube next to me talkes to loud. It bugs her. Nady from Adelaide, Australiaumm im pretty sure Jim Morrison was never a "fat nerd" there may be a hint of jealousy in the air, eh James?ilovejimmorrisonmorethanyoucoulddream Joshvall from Huittinen, FinlandNady from Adelaide, actually Jim was quite fat and kind of nerd too during his teen years. So it's really possible that this song has got some inspriration of that also. Moi-même from ParisWhile Morrisson did write songs about drugs, reducing this one to a bad trip would be dumbing it down. The way I see it, it's a brilliant description of the freudian uncanny.Dev01d from Wollongong, AustraliaThis is my favourite song by The Doors, also my favourite song to play on guitar. I just play the intro over and over. I think it's deffinately about depression and feeling alienated and doubt it's about drugs. I agree with Dustin that it's pretty stupid how people can't look past people's drug use. Julie from Boston, Maaccording to Ray Manzerek, Jim wrote the song after leaving a party in New York very, very early in the morning watching the people come up out of the subways. Josh from Ottumwa, Iano on LSD (acid) to Morrison the doors of perception are cleansed.Everyone is weird in a way,the faces he seen in the rain that night were part of the trip. not just things appear how they truelly are but people too. EVERYONE IS STRANGE! Dustin from My Home, InThis song is obviously about depression any one who thinks this is about an lsd trip only focuese on the fact that jim has done drugs and can only focus on that to many great artists liek jimi hendrix have had there songs meaings tarred and featherd by people who know nothing of the band except that drugs are commonly associated with them and now ill get to how i figure it is abotu depression well the rain in the song could represnt the depression and faces comign out of the rain while it coudl be about an lsd trip which i highly highly doubt could represnt the people he meets wiht while he felt alienated becauzse of depression and the depression is what makes him strange so think abotu it like i see it it may be worng but it is jsut my opinion on it all Chris from Tulsa, OkRobbie Krieger wrote some great stuff and he was a very good guitarist. He never really got the credit due him.

Anna from New Oxford, PaI bet he was on an acid trip. People are indeed very strange sometimes. And to Melissa, I am Ms. Mojo Risin'. Lance from Malibu, CaI feel that the lyrics and meaning are open for all to interept. I can see the drug part but I can also see the other insperations as well

Brian from Paoli, InYeah I heard that too, I like the guitar or bass riff, and the solo is sweeeet. Erin from Arlington, NeI don't know whether the song is the result of depression or drugs, all i know is that i can't get this song out of my head, it's something everyone can relate to. Shea from Laguna Hills, Cahaha yeah definitely wasn't written about a lsd trip... jim morrison wrote this about being a constant stranger. read wild child by linda ashcroft. Rich from St.pete, FlI agree with tori. it is about a trip- finding it difficult to recognize faces, sometimes they are distorted and ugly in the dark, and it's all you. and he used "seem" Kim from Stuart, FlI believe I read something in a magazine that was a mixture of all these stories. Morrison was depressed, so he went for a walk in the desert, and saw some people having a tripping party in their garden. He sat and watched them a while from a distance (they were stoned out of their heads so they didn't notice), then went home and wrote this song.

Danny Brown from Rumson, NjIn Danny Sugarman's book "No One Here Gets Out Alive" he states jim was driving down a road and saw hippies dancing in the field and came up with the lyric...people are strange...is that true? Taylor from Barnum, MnI love this song. I listen to it at least twice a day.it's a perfect song to listen to when your mad at people Marie from Durham, United KingdomI think this song is about feeling different but i also think he has to be talking about the weirdness of looking at strangers faces when your tripping and the alien view of the world that LSD gives the taker. The doors of perception are opened when you trip and take it from me "Streets are uneven when your down". Tristan from Philadelphia, PaFirst time I heard this song was on my dads old record player off or Strange Days, before hearing it I thought, who are the doors? This song got me to be the fan I am today.

Fred from New York, NyNot EVERY song is about drugs, folks. Jim was inspired to write this song because of the strange people he met when he was touring.
