Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about End of the Night. By Songfacts®.

This is a "confession" of Jim Morrison's aims in life. To the end of the night was his aim through many ways of speeding up death, a kind of death through hallucinations and visions into other worlds (drugs). He was trying to get somewhere nobody had ever been before, a place of complete peace.

The title and some of the lyrics were inspired by the 1932 French novel Journey To The End Of The Night by Louis-Ferdinand Celine.

The lyrics: Realms of bliss, realms of light Some are born to sweet delight Some are born to sweet delight Some are born to the endless night Are taken almost verbatim from the poem Auguries Of Innocence by William Blake, which includes the passage: Every morn and every night Some are born to sweet delight Some are born to sweet delight Some are born to endless night (thanks, Max - Geneva, IL)
