Lyrics
I see a red door and I want it painted black
I observe a red door, and I desire it to be painted black.
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
No colors are acceptable anymore; I want everything to be black.
I see the girls walk by
I notice girls passing by.
Dressed in their summer clothes
They are wearing their summer clothing.
I have to turn my head
I must avert my gaze until the darkness subsides.
Until the darkness goes
I see a line of cars
I observe a line of cars.
And they're all painted black
All of them are painted black, with flowers and my love, both gone forever.
With flowers and my love both
Never to come back
People turn away as they witness the scene.
I see people turn their heads
I see heads turning and quickly looking away.
And quickly look away
Similar to the way people react to a newborn baby; this happens daily.
Like a new born baby it happens every day
I look inside myself and see
Upon introspection, I realize my heart is black, and I must have my red door painted black.
My heart is black i see my red door and
Must have it painted black
Perhaps, if I achieve this, I will fade away and avoid facing the harsh realities.
Maybe then I'll fade away and not
Have to face the facts
Facing the facts is challenging when your entire world is black.
It's not easy facin' up when
Your whole world is black
No longer will my green sea turn a deeper blue.
No more will my green sea
Go turn a deeper blue
I couldn't anticipate this transformation.
I could not foresee this
Thing happening to you
Observing intensely, I hope my love will share laughter with me before the morning comes.
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me
-Before the mornin' comes
-I see a red door and I want it painted black
Repetition of the desire for a red door to be painted black.
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see people turn their heads
-And quickly look away
-Like a new born baby it happens every day
-I wanna see it tainted, tainted
Expressing a desire to see everything tainted or painted black.
Tainted black black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
Desiring the sun to be blotted out from the sky.
I wanna see it tainted, tainted
Tainted black
Reiteration of the desire to see everything tainted or painted black.
