about

This song was born one day as I was leaving the Ansin building at Emerson College. I saw a purple door I hadn't noticed all semester, and I found myself strangely curious about where it led and why I was just now noticing it. Part of me interpreted the unexpected curiosity as a sign that maybe I was wanting something more in my life, which became a theme of the album, particularly in this song and in The Ladder Waltz. Produced by Nobody Interesting, this avant-garde track supports lyrics that are both literal and metaphorical. Lyrics below.

lyrics

Purple door, where do you lead?
I guess I want more

Where would you take me, purple door?
How have I managed not to notice you before?

Who decided what color you’d be, and who took the time?
What paint did they use, how much did it cost in nickels and dimes?
Were you made in a factory or crafted in a wood shop by two hands?
How long have you been here, where were you born, was it green and grand?

Purple door, where do you lead?
I guess I want more

Where would you take me, purple door?
How have I managed not to notice you before

Would you lead me to an office or a bathroom or an exit?
How many hits with a hammer would it take for your wood to split?
I don’t recall what your hinges looked like, how could I forget?
Are you tired of opening up, or do you long for more of it?

Purple door, where do you lead?
I guess I want more

Where would you take me, purple door?
How have I managed not to notice you before?

Purple door, where do you lead?
I guess I want more
