Their is Hope and Faith in the "setting sun". Yet, his hope comes by looking hard into the sunset (the heavens) where she will laugh with him before morning comes.Ī question remains about whether he will try to join her himself or wait until his time comes. He laments that the colors in his world will grow no deeper it was an unforeseen death. They do not bring the instinctive response to admire and he must look away until the darkness goes. The girls in their summer clothes do nothing for him but remind him of her. The visions were from the funeral procession, black cars, hearse covered in flowers.People turning their heads quickly out of respect (but it happens every day, like a newborn baby, they tell themselves). The picture made it clear that he and the deceased were married.( I keep him in a cool, dark, isolated place as I see him reflecting on the entire day follwing the funeral) The pictures were of the grieving, crying young man sitting in a dark empty pub, drinking and hanging his head over the obits. As part of an art class, I illustrated the song, colors and all. others feel what he feels and know what hes going through. and because he feels cold (emotionally) so he wants others to feel what he feels. This is where thoughts of him dying come back? but i think he meant more of the sun reminding him of better days, which makes him more depressed. "i want to see the sun, blotted out from the sky" He wants others to feel what he is going through. "i want to see it painted, paint it black i think he just feels so many emotions that he doesn't know what to think. some of the lyrics contradict each other. and this shows that he doesnt want to be depressed, or else his darkness wouldn't go. I have to turn my head until my darkness goes" "i see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes he feels no one knows what hes going through, and mabey if they see the world through his eyes, everything black, then they may understand. He don't want any colors because mabey seeing all black helps him be less depressed because mabey when he sees colors it reminds him of when he was happy or reminds him that other people are happy, and he don't like that it makes him feel more depressed. "no colors anymore i want them to turn black" This could refer to many things.a church door, the gates of hell, the casket front, or just a door that he sees thats red and he don't want to see colors. "i see a red door and i want it painted black" mabey he plans to end his own life to be with her. He feels he will see his love again, either by dreaming, spirit, or when he dies, they will be united again. "if i look hard enough into the setting sun, my love will laugh with me before the morning comes" also the pain is so bad he does not wish it on anyone else to have to go through pain that bad. The death was unexpected, sudden and tragic. "i could not foresee this thing happening to you" His feelings are dark because hes depressed, he sees everything as black. "i look inside myself and see my heart is black" This refers to the flowers put on the casket or at the grave site/or because flowers are colorful, and he sees everything as black, and that the flowers will die like his love did,"never to come back". "with flowers and my love both never to come back" and also refers to a hearse.(the vehicle which carries the casket containing a dead body to the grave site/funeral. This refers to a line of cars that are black, either limos for the family and or friends at the funeral, or they're not black in real life, he just sees them as black because hes depressed. "i see a line of cars and they're all painted black" (love referring to a girl)the artist is singing about everything turning black because hes depressed and sees everything as black. This song is written from the perspective of a man thats depressed because his "love" died.
