Interpret these phrases

I think this is by the Rolling Stones, unless the Beatles had an earlier version or a song with this phrase in it?

Also the correct lyric is "I see a red door and I want it painted black" (what I think is interesting is that in your version you assumed that if the depressed guy wanted the door to be black then he should just paint it himself, but in the rolling stones version the depressed guy takes no such initiative and just says that "he wants it painted black" but leaves it ambigious as to whether someone else should take responsibility for painting it, or whether he wants to paint it himself or whether he's just making a statement that he wants it painted black...in which case why doesn't he ask someone to paint it black?

Hey, I pointed out that it's a stones song first.

The Rolling Stones, for an example, are the Rolling Stones, a bunch of doped up little dolts. There is no secondary meaning to "Paint it Black" it's just a bunch of words that make up a mediocre song.

you forgot to mention how ugly they all are too.....

one of my favourite phrases, used to describe someone who is unattractive, is "he/she got hit by the ugly stick"

I like to expand on this phrase, for instance

" Mick Jagger didn't just get hit by the ugly stick, he fell out of the ugly tree, hit every branch on the way down, then he got run over by the ugly truck, then the driver of the ugly truck got out of his truck to have a look and was like "that's one ugly dude!" so he got back in his truck, reversed back and ran over him a few more times"
