His love died and he doesn't want to see any color anymore, he doesn't want to see people enjoying life. He wants everything to be painted black to reflect the darkness he feels.
You're one of the only reactors to get what the song is about right away. He looks around and while he's grieving, he doesn't see the life around him. Grief takes you into a dark hole.
You were right about the funeral line (line of cars), the girl he loves died so he’s singing about being depressed hence why his heart is black. So he wants everything else to feel the same way he does hence why he wants everything to be black. The red door I guess is a metaphor for wanting other people to feel his sadness, since it’s just a door it needs to be painted black so every little thing feels/looks the way he does. I guess to also surround himself in black in isolation which people with depression tend to do Any turning away from the girls in the summer dresses I guess implies they’re happy so he must turn his head else his depression will interfere with them
A true timeless classic that was recorded 55 years ago. The driving beat, Brian Jones' sitar playing in unison with Mick Jagger's vocal...just a brilliant song.
From my perspective, it's a song about suicide, due to the loss of a loved one, and wanting the whole world to simply go black. There was a funeral, but it's not what the song's about. Girls in their dresses is about just living life, and seeing others happy when he isn't. Now, I *think* the red door is a metaphor for his heart (key to a door, key to your heart). He wants it to wither so he can't feel anymore. I never really thought about these lyrics before. I just sort of thought it was a song about anger/angst.
Usually if your house is at the end of the door is painted red to wake up drivers so they don't plow into your house. I always took this to mean he was ready to be killed. The red door is protection that he no longer needs
If you’re going for Halloween theme later, then you’ve have to check out Ghost BC? The entire band is in costume all the time and you could say a little scary but the music 🎼 is fantastic! Here’s their song Ritual: th-cam.com/video/6l2FEHr_Yzg/w-d-xo.html. ENJOY, and Happy Halloween!! 👻🎃☠️
Actually, it's about him contemplating suicide this very night. "If I look hard enough into the settin' sun, my Love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes." (He intends to be with her)
Check out PLAY WITH FIRE and LITTLE T AND A by the Stones. The former is my favorite Stones song. The latter is a song that was sung by Keith Richards. I think it is one of the few songs that Mick Jagger did NOT sing.

Exactly he feels empty inside like a black void

Nice read on the song. So many people miss it
Red door is his heart
I love this song absolutely incredible thanku so much amazing reaction an breakdown much love and God bless x
Summer close are colorful and he wants everything painted black, the black paint is metaphorical.
My mom died about 2 1/2 yrs ago. I was depressed for about a yr. When a loved one dies....ur in a dark black place. Thus the imagery in the song.
everytime i hear this i remember the great movie FULL METAL JACKET.

I thought the red door was a metaphor for the door that had his hidden demons in it or something

I never thought deeply about the lyrics before. Just thought this was like the first official emo song 🖤 🎶
React to The Rolling Stones ft. Axl Rose & Izzy Stradlin - Salt Of The Earth - Blu-ray, please!
I love watching your videos but you missed the best Halloween Song it's called the Michigan Dogman
Wow good for you! Most reacters don’t get it. It’s Death and Depression
Lots of churches have red-painted doors, so it's the door of the church where the funeral was held. No idea why.
👑 🐐

Please react to “hope on the rocks” by Toby Keith or “happy birthday America” also by Toby Keith. Again please
Great call btw. Few get it on the first listen. He doesn't want to see pretty girls because they remind him of his dead girlfriend.
I don't have the will to look at the pretty girls when I mourn.
Coming back from war...saw too many deaths it's about Vietnam
Keef
Hes depressed
Damned, it's an anti vietnam war song..incl. some PTSD ...but who cares
