Paint It Black
The Rolling Stones Lyrics
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby, it just happens every day
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up, when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
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
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

The song began with Wyman playing organ at a recording session, in parody of the group's former co-manager Eric Easton, who had been an organist. Charlie Watts accompanied the organ by playing a vaguely Middle Eastern drum part; Watts' drum pattern became the basis for the final song. Brian Jones contributed the song's signature sitar riff (having taught himself to play after a visit with George Harrison) and acoustic guitar, and Jagger contributed the lyrics, seemingly about a man mourning his dead girlfriend. The lead electric guitar and the background vocals are provided by Richards. The piano is played by Jack Nitzsche, unfortunately not in any way related to Friedrich Nietzsche, the famous German philosopher.
The bass was also overdubbed by Bill Wyman playing on the bass pedals of a Hammond B3 organ.
Richards has stated in an interview that the song was not intended to have a comma in its title, and that this was added by the record label.

Я вижу красную дверь и я хочу перекрасить её в чёрный,
Больше никаких цветов — я хочу, чтобы всё стало чёрным.
Я вижу гуляющих девушек, одетых в летние платья,
Я должен отвернуться, пока моя темнота не рассеется.
Я вижу ряд машин, и все они чёрные,
Цветы и моя любовь никогда не вернутся.
Я вижу, как люди оборачиваются и сразу отводят взгляд,
Как и рождение детей, это происходит каждый день.
Я заглядываю в себя и вижу, что моё сердце черно,
Я вижу мою красную дверь, и она окрашена в чёрный.
Может быть, тогда я исчезну...
И мне не придётся сталкиваться с действительностью.
Это не так-то просто — принять, что весь мир стал чёрным.
Никогда больше моё зелёное море не станет темно-синим,
Я не могу предвидеть, случится ли это с тобой,
Если я пристально вгляжусь в заходящее солнце,
Моя любовь будет смеяться со мной до самого утра.
Я вижу красную дверь и я хочу перекрасить её в чёрный,
Больше никаких цветов — я хочу чтобы всё стало чёрным.
Я вижу гуляющих девушек, одетых в летние платья,
Я должен отвернуться, пока моя темнота не рассеется.
Хмммм, хмммм, хмммм...
Я хочу видеть все перекрашенным в чёрный,
Чёрным, как ночь, чёрным, как уголь.
Я хочу видеть солнце стёртым с неба,
Я хочу видеть все перекрашенным в чёрный.
Да!

I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
Until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars
And they're all painted black
With flowers and my love
Both never to come back
I've seen people turn their heads
And quickly look away
Like a newborn baby
It just happens everyday
I look inside myself
And see my heart is black
I see my red door
I must have it painted black
Maybe then, I'll fade away
And not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up
When your whole world is black
No more will my green sea
Go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing
Happening to you
If I look hard enough
Into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me
Before the morning comes
I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
Until my darkness goes
I wanna see it painted
Painted black
Black as night
Black as coal
I wanna see the sun
Blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted
Painted black, yeah

When I was in college I had to do an essay explaining this song, it's pretty cool.

Can you explain it? I am not a musician.

This song is a soul catcher. It perfectly represents and reflects the depression of society. So sad and so helpful at the same time.
This song is a cure. Thank you !
