The meaning of "Purple Rain"

Here's what I found about "Purple Rain"..Got that from the net..


1) Prince has always said the meaning is there if you look for it.We can sit all day and discuss them and argue the point, but all we will find is we all find something different that he tried to express."Purple Rain" is about facing your problems and fears in life,looking for solace in those around you instead isolating yourself in self pity and doubt.You always find people running away from the rain, but it's only water,so why the panic? Rain is the perfect metaphor for what he was trying to express.


2)Rain in poetry is tears. Purple is usually spiritual or mystical. So purple rain, spiritual tears, crying on the inside...

3)It means face up to your troubles ,it will rain wherever you run.

We all have problems and the only way to beat them is to face them and sort them out.It is the same for everyone, we are all the same.

Something like that Prince is pretty obsure with his meanings.


Told you it has lots of meaning....As for me..it means facing all your problems in faith and confident..don't run away from it just because it is big to handle..after all problems may come and will be solve once u handle it in truth..sometimes crying does not take away any of your problems..U have to face them..
