Goddness In The Doorway
Jagger Mick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dogs are on the roof
I am in the basement
Looking for the truth
Tired of being patient
For the voice to come
If you want the answer
Her flesh is smooth and supple
And velvet as the night
Her eyes are shot with diamonds
A mouth full of delight
There's a goddess in the doorway
Asking how much can I take
And it looks like she's heading my way
There's a goddess in the doorway
Demons in the bedroom
Dogs are on the loose
Driving in the backstreets
Looking for the truth
I'm searching for your temple
Hunting for your shrine
I'm looking for a vision
By a neon sign
There's a goddess in the doorway
Asking how much can I take
And it looks like she's heading my way
There's a goddess in the doorway
And her tears flow like a fountain
Like a river from the mountain
How much
How much can I take
How much, how much can I take
Goodess in the doorway [cont]
There's a goddess in the doorway
Asking how much can I take
And it looks like she's heading my way
There's a goddess in the doorway
The song "Goddess In The Doorway" is a track from Mick Jagger's third solo album of the same name. The song starts with a depiction of chaos - demons in the bedroom, dogs on the roof, and the singer in the basement seeking the truth. The lyrics then shift to the description of a woman who is a goddess, with smooth and supple flesh, sparkling eyes, and a mouth full of delight. The singer is searching for a vision and a temple, and the goddess in the doorway seems to be calling out to him, asking how much he can take.
The song seems to be a commentary on the search for meaning and truth in a world that can often feel overwhelming and chaotic. The demons and dogs on the loose represent the confusion and difficulties that can come with this search. The goddess in the doorway represents the answer or the solution, but the singer is unsure if he can handle what she has to offer. The tears that flow like a fountain and a river from the mountain further underscore the sense of overwhelming emotions and difficulty in finding what one is searching for.
