The lyric is about the death of his girlfriend, and attending the subsequent funeral after. No drugs, no Vietnam, no affirmative action. You people are reading way too much into this. I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black

I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes If I look hard enough into the settin' sun I could not foresee this thing happening to you No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue It's not easy facing up, when your whole world is black Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts I see my red door, I must have it painted black I look inside myself and see my heart is black Like a new born baby, it just happens every day I see people turn their heads and quickly look away With flowers and my love, both never to come back I see a line of cars and they're all painted black I have to turn my head until my darkness goes I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes No colors anymore, I want them to turn black I see a red door and I want it painted black
