"Painted black" - Mephisto Walz


I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day

Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and must have it painted black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I wanna see it tainted, tainted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it tainted, tainted, tainted, tainted black
Del álbum "The eternal deep" (1995)

Esta canción original de sus Satánicas Majestades, alias los Rolling Stones ;-) ha sido ampliamente versionada. Una de mis favoritas es la de la banda Mephisto Walz quienes se atreven a cambiar ligeramente algunas frases, según lo podemos comprobar al leer la letra original.

Mephisto Walz es una de las bandas más representativas del sonido gótico made in USA más clásico, por así decirlo. De ese sonido surgido a finales de los '80, principios de los '90 donde también figuran otros grupos como London After Midnight y The Last Dance. También fueron parte de las primeras bandas que se presentaron en directo en la Ciudad de México , allá por el '95 o '96.

Sobra decir que este estilo de gothic music es uno de los que más me gustan ;-)
