The Doors - tightrope ride

가사는 tightrope ride라는 비유를 통해 외로움과 불안정한 삶의 여정을 표현하고, 균형을 유지하고 자신의 정체성을 잃지 않아야 한다고 강조한다
주변 사람들이 곁에 있지만 내면은 고독함을 느끼며, 명확한 답이 없는 현실을 반영하고 있다
마지막에 다가가면 다시 비상할 수 있다는 희망이 담겨 있다

You're on a tightrope ride, nobody by your side
Well, you're all alone, got to find a new home
Don't go over the line. You better keep on time
Or you'll lose your mind on your tightrope ride
Watch out, don't fall! Careful, don't slip!
You better get your balance, you have to feel the way
There are no more questions, no answers today
There are no reasons, there are no more rhymes
But if you feel it, you can fly next time
You can fly next time, or maybe this time
Did you think we were all together?
Did you think we were all the same?
Did you think maybe I could help you
Remember your name, remember the game
What's the name of the game
It's a very good game, never stays the same
It's the number one from mud to sun
You're on a tightrope ride, we're all by your side
But you're all alone, and we're going home
And we're by your side, but you're all alone
Like a Rolling Stone, like Brian Jones
On a tightrope ride
