'I wanna see U in a world after the war/ judgement day'
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain. The desire for the woman's laughing means that the narrator wants the woman to be joyful. The color of royalty has traditionally been purple so this rain must obviously be connected to Prince in his princely mantle. Purple is the color of royalty. Rain can be changed to Reign, as in the reign of a King or Queen. So, Purple Reign would the rulership of royalty. This puts an intersting spin on the meaning of the song in context with everything else. Purple Rain is not only one of my favorite Prince song, but also one of my favorite songs of all time. However, I have always wondered what the song's title meant. When I thought about it literally, it would be completely weird to see purple rain. I would think that I was high or on an LSD trip. 'I only want 2 see U in the purple rain' means something like 'I wanna see U in a world after the war/ judgement day'... BASICALLY, PRINCE WANTS TO BE WITH THIS GIRL FOREVER. kristaselene on November 14, 2007 Link. 1 Reply Log in to reply. There was an error. On the other hand, purple is associated with royalty, which connects to Prince's name, his royal purple wardrobe and the pun of reign.. Also, purple rain reminds me of the Jimi Hendrix song, Purple Haze, which was making a reference to psychedelic drugs like Marijuana and LSD. Prince decided to write a song in that style, and Purple Rain was the result. The album was actually the soundtrack to the first movie Prince made. He went on to make three more, Under The Cherry Moon, Sign O' The Times, and Graffiti Bridge.
