The Doors "Light My Fire" became a symbol for everything it contradicted to be. It served to be untrue, yet won as recognition ruined it. And burning down everything we believe in takes courage, which Morrison´s lyrics manifested itself as, having partially understood the vast burning, externally and internally. The burning monk in our gazoline age tries to reconnect with our semi apocalyptic mind set of accepting annihilation and ego pedestals. Morrison and the monk are mirroring each other as their reflection stands for something that appears to be rebellious or political, individualistic and self-realizing, yet that is limiting what they expressed for all of us.
