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.

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.

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.
