THAT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND NOT A WISE THING 2 DO, BUT YEAH, IT MAKES SENSE WHEN U READ THE LYRICS IN THOSE 2 SONGS. THERE ALSO, HE WAS SPEAKING IN THE VOICE OF GOD. I CAN SEE PRINCE SPEAKING IN THE VOICE OF GOD IN PURPLE RAIN LYRICS, JUST LIKE HE DID IN 'I WOULD DIE 4 U". I DIDN'T DIG PRINCE DOING THAT, USING GOD'S NAME IN THAT KIND OF TEXT, BUT IT DEFINATELY TIES IN WITH THE THEORY GIVEN ABOVE. P THEN ASKED "GOD" IF HE WANTED 2 TAKE A BATH WITH HIM. PRINCE ALSO DURING THE PURPLE RAIN TOUR HAD "GOD'S" VOICE BOOMING OUT AT PRINCE. I think you better close it and let me guide you to the purple rain: God sent us a savior to guide us into His garden that grows from the rain You say you want a leader, but you can’t seem to make up your mind: all the fighting and confusing over leadership and religious orders that keep us separated. I never wanted to be your weekend lover: we go to church on the weekends then go back to doing everything else during the week I only wanted to one time see you laughing… in the purple rain I never meant to cause you any trouble, I never meant to cause you any pain. *Not to mention that “God” was the B-Side to the single “Purple Rain.” Prince is speaking in the voice of God in “Purple Rain.” The rain cleanses the earth and purple symbolizes royalty. I'm a lyrical genius so let me take a crack at this. Yeah i read this somewhere too, prince was writing in a purple journal/ diary during the 1999 tour or something and when the movie came across prince wanted the title to have the word purple in it instead of being called "dreams" Shame Prince seems to endorse a more dogmatic and medieval view of such matters these days. The orthodox belief that sex is for reproduction in a loving, monogamous relationship, Prince's womanising and polygamous lifestyle - that's a fight within itself, then you have the recurring theme in Prince's music that sex (a physical act) is a way of communing with God (the spiritual) - which questions everything else, yet, brings it together as one also. I think this duality in the lyrics (and presumably the authors thinking) led to some great, great music. Purple Rain can be read as a song about a relationship (romantic love) or God (spiritual love) in pretty much the same way as I Would Die 4 U can. I think it's been discussed here before, and many fans are of the thought that Purple Rain the album is one of Prince's most lyrically spiritual albums (and certainly more concerned with such matters than the previous 5 albums). Prince played a lot with the seeming dichotomy of sex and God - physical relationships/pleasure and spiritual well-being. I think LaughinAtYall gave a good disection of the song. Yall chill with all the lil theories k? purple rain means nothing! just like mm bop means nothing.when the writin 4 purple rain was goin on prince told the writer guy that he wanted "purple" in the title.so the dude came up with Purple Rain.

That is he metaphorically sees himself baptising all the vaginas in the world with his purple rain. It is their that he seeks to wash all the vaginas. He realizes at that point that he has chovanistic tendencies and emplores all the vaginas to follow him as their leader so he can guide them all to his halucination-purple rain. The hallucinations get worse and the protaganist ends up seeing an entire army of vaginas-A virtual Valitia, if you will. (MORAL MSG #1: Obsession with vaginas will distort your perception) The problem is that at that point, his perception becomes distorted and the only thing he can see bathing such a vagina in is rain that happens to be purple. In his obsession the protaganist goes absolutly insane and wishes to actually bathe the vagina with his own hands. Prince is conveying his absolute obsession with Vaginas.
