Craig from Dunedin, New ZealandThis lyric is so introverted,sounds like extreme loneliness-blows me away every time! pssst...keep this a secret...Jim croons Tuesdays and Saturdays at a pub in town here,thinly disguised yank accent... Lalah from Wasilla, AkI sing this when the coworker in the cube next to me talkes to loud. It bugs her.

Herminio from Rosario, ArgentinaSorry but the first "fact" was at John´s house, not Robbie´s. I´m pretty shure about it because I have John´s book. 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" See next posted below; and I made a mistake there, Sept. 17th is the correct date that "People Are Strange" did enter the Top 100.. On the same show the quartet also performed "Light My Fire"; and at the time it was in its 17 week on the Top 100 and at position #32...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. 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 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

Tori from Boston, MaIt's about LSD. "When you're strange" is referring to when you're on drugs. Depression doesn't make faces come out of the rain. 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?Chloe from St. Louis, Moacid?! why must every song be about acid?! this is just about the wierdness of society. never has a statement been so true- people are strange. 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. Brian from Paoli, InYeah I heard that too, I like the guitar or bass riff, and the solo is sweeeet. 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". 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.
