I understand the song, and what he's saying, but what's the deal with the red door?

I've never understood it...

The red door symbolizes a song that isn't shit, but the lead singer paints it black, and then we get that fucking dumpster fire that is the song itself.

Just in depression in general I guess. Just being jaded at the world, as in you used to be really optimistic and the world around you was vibrant and colorful but now its somber and the colors are neutral, or the colors arent as beautiful to you as they once were. Maybe you consider the sky grey instead of blue now even though it's still blue behind the clouds, but all you can see is the clouds.

Red is a bright color. His depression makes him want to cover up bright colors with black.

Yeah, I get that, but why a door?

See that's kinda what I'd come to as well...

I thought about the typical suburban "red door white picket fence" deal, and figured he was saying he didn't want it anymore?

Eh, idk...

Nothing is particularly special about the door. He says right afterwards "No colors anymore I want them to turn black"

The door, being red, probably strikes out as particularly colorful, but doesn't have any other significance.

It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

I guess to add to it is that he has gotten acclimated to his depression and seeing people happy only makes him feel worse about himself? So when he sees the red door (people walking around looking happy) he wants to paint it black (wishes he didnt have to see that so he doesnt have to be constantly reminded of how miserable he is).

Is that even a thing in England? I'm pretty sure that suburban 'dream' is mostly American. I think you are overthinking it. He also talks about cars and girls in dresses.

The fact that you returned to a topic about something you claim to hate simply shows you aren't worthy of being taken seriously.

Then the fact you still responded means you must not be very bright.

Anyway, the song is still shit.

Does it say "red door"? I always thought it said "I see the window and I want to paint it black." I wondered why someone would paint a window...
