One morning he awoke in a green hotel

 
Oh, uh, "content warning," I suppose. I mean, it's Jim Morrison.

Listened to some of this and saw link to "The Soft Parade" down the side, by the same band. 3.4m views. Looked up the lyrics.

Among the non-sense I found:

"The Man is at the door"

"Kiss the hunter of the green vest"

Not sure if Debbie has mentioned this before but the 4 and 7 situation and the 7-11 situation has to do with 4:7:11 :: D:G:K :: Door:Green:Knocking

The difference between 4 and 7 is 3. The difference between 7 and 11 is 4. 34.

The numbers on my doors 11, 7, 15.

The difference between 11 and 7 is 4. 4 is red according to my synaesthesia (like the red door). 4 would correspond to D, as in door.

The difference between 7 and 15 is 8. 8 is green (like the green door). 8 would correspond to H, as in ?

@ben

Your synaesthesia (at least for these two numbers) is consistent with the mnemonic major system for remembering numbers, in which 4 is represented by the /r/ sound (as in "red"), and 7 by /k/ or /g/ (as in "green").

Oops, I read too quickly. I see it's your 8s that are green, not your 7s.

@William

As it happens, the 7s are yellow, like K. But the rest of the table doesn't really fit
