The band took their name from the title of Aldous Huxley's book "The Doors of Perception", itself derived from a line in William Blake's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell": "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is: infinite".
В своём эссе «Двери восприятия» () (1954) писатель взял эпиграфом строки из поэмы «Бракосочетание Рая и Ада» английского поэта XVIII века Уильяма Блейка: «If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is: infinite».
