The emotional lyrics can have multiple meanings. On the surface, they seem to be an apology from one lover to another. On a deeper level, they can have a spiritual allegory. It is a theory that "Purple Rain" is a metaphor for heaven, inspired by the testimonies of a woman who died on the operating table that the afterlife is full of falling purple rain.

His favorite color is purple, the rain are his tears from seeing what his parents went thru in their dysfunctional home.  He's singing about how he see's his mother cry all the time.  It's his version of Alice Coopers, Only Women Bleed.  Spousal abuse.

i love that song!  I think it means that it's like a vacation where the sky is just blue and clear....or in the sense...clouds might mean confusion in you mind so then blue sky (u can see the sky so that means there's no clouds) means that your mind is at peace and clear

what does it mean? He wrote it for his ex girlfriend who broke his heart. he was madly in love with her, but she left him. even though he won the hearts of millions of females around the world with that one song, it wasn't enough to get her back!! it's the nicest song though, i cry every time i hear it.

Just an opinion: first it is not one word but two karma chameleon. Based on the lyrics of the Culture Club song it means something along the lines of "fate changer" or one who changes to meet fate ("you come and go"). I could be way out in left field, but it's my guess.

The song is about life and death and what all happen to the world around us.\n\nAt the end of the day it's important what you read in the lyrics and what it means to you.

the lyrics are making an attempt to explain that the person they speak of has taken something of great value and rendered it worthless. \nLike the gift of love.\nhe's trying to make clear that their love is doomed.

Those words were written by Chis Christferson in the song " Me and Bobby McGee."  Janice Joplin sang and recorded this song back in the 60's.  One of the best, if not the best song she every recorded.\nI would suggest the you the entire lyrics to get the full meaning/context of this phrase.

I have no clue, but it might be from a soundtrack of the movie called Moulin Rouge... I'm not sure... I haven't listened to all of the songs yet. But it might be from that movie.

The color Purple has meaning in symbolism and culture.  Born to the Royal Purple, means Born to Royalty, of the royal house.  Dating back to roman times.  Wearing Purple was limited to Royal personages. When a Priest in Catholic religion wears Purple vestments that is for Holy Week, and symbolises sorrow, The Passion of Christ.  The Color Purple book has meaning for the character because Purple symbolises courage and the ability to realize her deeper passion-love.

In the Bible, Purple, Violet, and Scarlet sometimes symbolized vanity. Sometimes greed and selfishness. Too bad, because purple is my favorite color.

Pianist Tim Rice-Oxley gave this meaning in May 16, 2006:\n\n    Nothing In My Way came out of listening to a lot of the poppier end of hiphop on the radio, just kinda driving around and I think particularly the groove of "Lose Yourself" by Eminem got stuck in my head (...)and I guess I liked the idea of trying to do something similar. I guess it was never gonna sound like Eminem, but the groove of it was basically lifted from that, and the song just came from jamming around on a piano. So I guess as a result of all that, I guess it's a much funkier and kinda 'blacker' song than most Keane songs, and that was something that we really wanted to get into the record generally. We were listening to a lot of classic motown as well, much more driving rhythms and you can hear that in a lot of the songs (...) \nThe song's actually written about some people I know who are married, and their marriage was essentially just bringing a lot of misery to both of them, but for some reason they just refused to acknowledge it. I hate the idea of people being so much in denial that they're prepared to almost let their lives fall apart rather than acknowledge what's going on.
