Since I have discovered the books of David Icke I've been really surprised how many of the themes David Speaks about come up in music and film. To my mind many people have been onto this, but to come out and directly say so is tantamount to career suicide. I'm trying to understand what Jim Morrisons "Celebration of The Lizard" is about, Listening to the song today for the first time since discovering Davids Books made me wonder if Jim Morrison knew too much and was murdered or which side he was on.
-------------------
He starts of telling of a post apocalyptic city in ruins and a man running from the city, The guy heads south out of the country into what would be for American people Mexico and beyond. The guy wakes up in bed with a reptile....... The he WAKES UP!. and the ceremony begins. He cant remember where it was that the dream stopped, we switch to imagery of a pale and golden glazed shrunken snake. that instilled fear and was untouchable. He runs to a mirror and looks into his reflection and tells I he can't live through each century of the reptile slowly moving into position. Then he tells the audience about a little game when you allow yourself to believe any possibility, to go insane in the eyes of others and close your eyes and forget your name, other people and learn an alternative to established religions. Once you start the play this game, life becomes fun and there is no way to loose. He then says This is where I am, I'm going, When people release control of their minds they are ready to discover truth and break through. Then he sings about the images hitting the brain once you allow yourself to see the world as it really is. He pictures a gentle town upon a hill and the rain is falling softly, the water becomes a labyrinth of under ground stream, which bring us to a quiet alien presence, in cool caves full of fossil there are reptiles everywhere. Back above the ground he speaks of the empty houses that all look alike, Beast car locked in against morning could be a reference to petrol supplied being cut and cars left in gardens as people flee on foot. The houses have become dusty he speaks of lawful couples dead in beds with dust everywhere, because nobody is around to find them, then switches to imagery of smug daughters being slaughtered and having semen eyes in their nipples, (the watchers). He they tells a woman there is no time to stop and look around, leave your belongings and run out of town. We then enter not to touch the earth, not to touch the sun, nothing left to do but run. run run run, I believe this is alluding to travelling to the inner earth. He speakes of a freemasons mansion upon a hill with rich rooms and luxuriant chairs, but tells us, you won't know anything about it until you've get (been invited) inside. Immediately he then screams about the murder of JFK and suggests what runs the engine is a this sticky black slime, He says we then have to travel east to meet the Czar.
He talks about meeting the resistance by the lake to tell him of the marriage of church and state in the bigger plan. He alludes to the state (snake) having a well to its underground home by the side of the road. He's screaming to his woman to wake up, He then talks about the sun sun sun, moon moon moon, more the symbols of the occult chasing them chanting "I will get you soon". (These another version where at this point Jim chants we should reach the gates by morning we should be inside by noon) - Inside the earth, obviously. - Apparently at this point of the story they make it and the song enters a calm phase, He chants the places those who survived came from to safety. Jim then tells the survivors what is happening and where the kingdom is, but they know, because they are the ones who survive and witnessed. He listens to the world above for fighting, but all is silent, they know its safe to climb into the shades valleys.
During the aforementioned verse, Jim Morrison refers to the escaping man as HE, once they escape and the story seeming has ended the lizard king reveals himself, is this supposed to be the beginning of the story or the end? Who wins?
Jim then reveals himself to be the lizard king, I am the lizard King, I can do anything, Stop the earth in its tracks I can make the police go away. I have hidden in exile amusing myself with games, But now I have come back to the place where I was born. America? Egypt? - The lizard king asks the dark children of night, who wants to run with the hunt, He advises them to rest before they enter the town because he wants to be ready.
Can anyone explain this so it makes sense?
Celebration of the Lizard
Lions in the street and roaming
Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming
A beast caged in the heart of a city
The body of his mother
Rotting in the summer ground
He fled the town
He went down South and crossed the border
Left the chaos and disorder
Back there over his shoulder
One morning he awoke in a green hotel
With a strange creature groaning beside him
Sweat oozed from its shiny skin
Is everybody in?
The ceremony is about to begin
Wake up!
You can't remember where it was
Had this dream stopped?
The snake was pale gold
Glazed and shrunken
We were afraid to touch it
The sheets were hot dead prisons
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom
Look!
I can't live thru each slow century of her moving
I let my cheek slide down
The cool smooth tile
Feel the good cold stinging blood
The smooth hissing snakes of rain . . .
Once I had, a little game
I liked to crawl back into my brain
I think you know the game I mean
I mean the game called 'go insane'
Now you should try this little game
Just close your eyes forget your name
Forget the world forget the people
And we'll erect a different steeple
This little game is fun to do
Just close your eyes no way to lose
And I'm right there I'm going too
Release control we're breaking thru
Way back deep into the brain
Back where there's never any pain
And the rain falls gently on the town
And in the labyrinth of streams
Beneath, the quiet unearthly presence of
Nervous hill dwellers in the gentle hills around
Reptiles abounding
Fossils, caves, cool air heights
Each house repeats a mold
Windows rolled
Beast car locked in against morning
All now sleeping
Rugs silent, mirrors vacant
Dust blind under the beds of lawful couples
Wound in sheets
And daughters, smug
With semen eyes in their nipples
Wait
There's been a slaughter here
(Don't stop to speak or look around
Your gloves and fan are on the ground
We're getting out of town
We're going on the run
And you're the one I want to come)
Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do, but
Run, run, run
Let's run
House upon the hill
Moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees
Witnessing the wild breeze
C'mon baby run with me
Let's run
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run
The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
And you won't know a thing till you get inside
Dead president's corpse in the driver's car
The engine runs on glue and tar
C'mon along, we're not going very far
To the East to meet the Czar
Some outlaws lived by the side of the lake
The minister's daughter's in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl! We're almost home
Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn
Soon, soon, soon
Moon, moon, moon
I will get you
Soon!
Soon!
Soon!
Let the carnival bells ring
Let the serpent sing
Let everything
We came down
The rivers and highways
We came down from
Forests and falls
We came down from
Carson and Springfield
We came down from
Phoenix enthralled
And I can tell you
The names of the Kingdom
I can tell you
The things that you know
Listening for a fistful of silence
Climbing valleys into the shade
'I am the Lizard King
I can do anything
I can make the earth stop in its tracks
I made the blue cars go away
For seven years I dwelt
In the loose palace of exile
Playing strange games
With the girls of the island
Now I have come again
To the land of the fair, and the strong, and the wise
Brothers and sisters of the pale forest
O Children of Night
Who among you will run with the hunt?
Now Night arrives with her purple legion
Retire now to your tents and to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready'
