I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!" Then–whoosh, and I’m gone... and they’ll never see anything like it ever again... and they won’t be able to forget me–ever.

The comet metaphor frames Morrison’s self-image as brief, incandescent, and disruptive: a phenomenon that arrests attention, inspires awe, and then vanishes before it can be domesticated or fully understood. It reflects a romantic, self-mythologizing stance often associated with late-1960s rock stardom—fame as spectacle, identity as performance, and legacy as the afterimage left in an audience’s memory. The line also hints at mortality and impermanence: the “whoosh” suggests both sudden exit and inevitability, while the insistence on being “unforgettable” reveals an anxiety about disappearance that is answered by the promise of lasting cultural impact.
