Thanks for the comments!
I'm glad you guys found the blog interesting. The song title relates directly to the stanza meaning that the 'person' or 'drug' he is referring to has opened his eyes to a whole new world of experiences, breaking him through the doors of perception.
I don't think the song is just about his relationship with drugs. I think it's nearly impossible to really know what Jim Morrison meant when writing this song. Poetry can mean a thousand things to a thousand people. I think the song is more about breaking through whatever is holding you back from achieving personal happiness. Jim just happened to use LSD as a means to break through.
Whether or not Jim Morrison ever broke it off with the drug is hard to say. Whether he wanted to or not is even harder to say. Jim died July 3rd, 1971 in Paris due to liver failure caused by heavy drinking.
