This song is one of my favorite songs ever. I will be explaining the lyrics, so if you don't know what they mean, this is what I AM PRETTY SURE THEY MEAN. I didn't personally know Jani ofc, this is just what I'm guessing.

So the song is based on true events that happened to Jani.
He walked in on his girlfriend and his best friend in bed together. The lyrics of the song explain it all.
[VERSE 1]
"Ooh it must me magic
How inside your eyes I see my destiny
And everytime we kiss I feel you
Breathe your love so deep inside of me"
Jani explaining how much the relationship between him and his girlfriend means to him.
"If the moon and stars should fall
They'd be easy to replace
I would lift you up to heaven
And you would take their place"
Same thing basically.
[CHORUS]
"I saw red,
when I opened up the door"
which I'm guessing means that he saw betrayal and anger when he says "I saw red" when he opened the door to the bedroom and saw them together.
"I saw red,
my heart just spilled onto the floor"
which is obvious that it means he's heartbroken by what he just saw with his own eyes.
"And I didn't need to see his face.
I saw your's.
I saw red and then I closed the door."
This part actually got to me the first time I heard it (it still does). It means he didn't need to see his best friend in bed with his girlfriend. So when Jani saw his girlfriend in bed with another man, it broke him, but when he saw her in bed with his BEST FRIEND, that's just even more heartbreaking. So I'm guessing he was just shocked about what happened, so he closed the door.
"I don't think I'm gonna love you anymore."
Just a very sad part basically saying, "Okay, what happened already happened. I cannot undo it, and I don't love her anymore if she cheated on me with MY OWN BEST FRIEND!"
[VERSE 2]
"Everyday I wake up,
and I thank God that you are still a part of me"
He is grateful for his girlfriend. Little does he know, she will cheat on him.
"We've opened up the door to it
So many people never find the key"
Idk, they're in love... at least that's what Jani thinks...
“And if the sun should ever fail to send its light
We would burn a thousand candles
And make everything alright”
Again, he loves her.
[CHORUS AGAIN]
[BRIDGE]
“I've been hurt I've been blind
I'm not sure that I'll be fine”
When this happened, it tore Jani apart very badly. He had nervous breakdowns apparently and it even delayed the release date for the band’s debut album, D.R.F.S.R. (This event happened around 1988. I’m pretty sure cuz D.R.F.S.R came out Jan. 31, 1989.)
“I never thought it would end this way”
Ofc he is saying, “I never thought my girl would ever cheat on me with anyone, especially my BEST FRIEND!” (The fact that it was his best friend just makes me angry lol)
[CHORUS AGAIN]
[OUTRO]
“Ooh it must be magic”
Jani repeating the first line of the song. It could also mean that it could be magic that she happened to cheat on him with his best friend.
-
Again, I don’t know if this is what the full song means, all I am pretty sure of is that it’s sadly based on Jani’s girlfriend cheating on him. I am sad that this happened, but if it didn’t, we wouldn’t have this amazing song, so I thank his ex a little bit… I still hate her cuz WHO THE HELL WOULD WANT TO CHEAT ON THAT BEAUTIFUL MAN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
