Song Meaning of “L.A. Woman” by The Doors
The song ‘L.A. Woman’ is a love letter to Los Angeles, the city that was home to The Doors and one of the most iconic cities in the world. The song captures the spirit of the city that was both a hotbed for creativity in the 60s and 70s and a culture of excess and emptiness. The narrator of the song is seeking a deeper connection with the city and recognition of its potential, describing it as a “home of the brave” and a place with “just a dream in my heart.” The chorus highlights the contradiction between the glitter and glamour of the city and the broken dreams and lonely hearts that come with living in the city of excess. It is both a celebration and an ode to the beauty and spirit of Los Angeles.
