Peace Frogs by The Doors?!
Question:
Peace Frogs by The Doors?
What is the meaning of this song?
Answers: In the 60's and 70's many rock groups and singers of the time sang songs about real life happenings. The bloody images are from the poetry of Jim Morrison, as many of the lyrics for the Doors were. The song was originally titled "Abortion Stories". The title was toned down for the public.
The opening scene of Oliver Stone's movie The Doors portrays this memory of Morrison's. The phrase "Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven" was Morrison's reference to the police in the town of New Haven, Connecticut. He had been arrested there while on stage for taunting them.
The line "Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding/Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind" originates from his poem, "Ghost Song," that describes an event that occurred when he was young.
As Morrison described it in An American Prayer:
“ Me and my — mother and father — and a grandmother and a grandfather — were driving through the desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian workers had either hit another car, or just — I don't know what happened — but there were Indians scattered all over the highway, bleeding to death."
