The movie will begin in five moments
The mindless voice announced
All those unseated will await the next show.

We filed slowly, languidly into the hall
The auditorium was vast and silent
As we seated and were darkened, the voice continued.

The program for this evening is not new
You’ve seen this entertainment through and through
You’ve seen your birth your life and death
You might recall all of the rest
Did you have a good world when you died?
Enough to base a movie on?.

I’m getting out of here
Where are you going?
To the other side of morning
Please don’t chase the clouds, pagodas

Her cunt gripped him like a warm, friendly hand.

It’s alright, all your friends are here
When can I meet them?
After you’ve eaten
I’m not hungry
Uh, we meant beaten

Silver stream, silvery scream
Oooooh, impossible concentration.

Elements of the lyrics to The Movie are both direct in meaning and also metaphorical with the real meanings of the song only known by The Doors and any collaborating writers working on the lyrics for The Movie back when it was created.

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to The Movie by The Doors in a number of ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to The Movie" means the words set to the music of The Movie, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The Doors. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
