I cant see your face in my mind
I cant see your face in my mind
Carnival dogs
Consume the lines
Cant see your face in my mind
Dont you cry
Baby, please dont cry
And dont look at me
With your eyes
I cant seem to find the right lie
I cant seem to find the right lie
Insanitys horse
Adorns the sky
Cant seem to find the right lie
Carnival dogs
Consume the lines
Cant see your face in my mind
Dont you cry
Baby, please dont cry
I wont need your picture
Until we say goodbye
I think its about his memory slowly fading because of the drug use. The term "carnival dogs" could be a drug reference. When H.G. Wells first came up with the concept of "doors in the wall" ,i.e. certain escapes we can make, he used the example of the carnival. Huxley was the one that took this idea and applied it to drug use. Dogs backwards is spelt God and God is also taking his life away from him. (Look at the Soft Parade, same thing.) i think what this song is about is how Morrison's conciousness is slowly slipping away because of the acid etc. Insanity's horse is a reference to Nietzche's horse (the one he saved from being whipped before being declared insane.) I think that even this early in his life, Morrison knew he was slowly slipping away.
Please post your comments/ ideas.
Thanks
