Lyrics
I see a red door and I want it painted black
I observe a red door and desire it to be painted black.
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
No colors are pleasing to me anymore; I wish for everything to be black.
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I notice girls passing by, dressed in their summer clothes.
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
To avoid confronting my inner struggles, I turn my head until my emotional darkness subsides.
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
I see a line of cars, all painted black, symbolizing loss and absence.
With flowers and my love both never to come back
Flowers and my love are gone, never to return.
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
People avert their gaze, avoiding the harsh realities of life.
Like a new born baby it just happens every day
Similar to the inevitability of a new born baby, challenges occur daily.
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
Upon introspection, I find that my heart is burdened with darkness.
I see my red door and I want it painted black
My red door symbolizes my desire for change to black, perhaps as a coping mechanism.
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
If I can fade away, I may avoid confronting unpleasant truths.
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
Facing reality becomes challenging when your entire world seems bleak.
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
No longer will my optimistic outlook turn darker; a shift towards despair is inevitable.
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
I couldn't anticipate such unfortunate events happening to someone close.
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
If I scrutinize deeply enough, there's hope for joy even in the face of adversity.
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
Anticipating shared laughter with a loved one before the morning arrives.
I want to see your face painted black, black as night
Expressing a desire to see the face of a person painted entirely black, as dark as night.
Don't want to see the sun flying high in the sky
Rejecting the sight of the sun soaring high in the sky, possibly symbolizing positivity or hope.
I want to see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Reiterating the desire for everything to be painted black.
