Purple rain - meaning

[wherediditallgosowrong]

If a guy sent you the song purple rain by prince what do you think a hidden meaning could be?

I am really enjoying the comments :)

The underlying message is that he's not capable of communicating with you clearly.

He's a guy who pursued me for ages, got me then admitted he had an ex who'd come back out of the woodwork. He then kept a hold on me and.tried no matter what to keep in touch. We really enjoyed chatting and doing things together. Just a few weeks ago I told him he was a player and that was that and then he back again on touch like I'd said nothing at all.

Yes I majorly fell for him, found it hard to believe he was playing me, he won't let go and then I randomly get this song.

Neither of us are teenagers but you'd be forgiven for thinking so.

Haha it's me again. Yes this confirms it. @Watchkeys

Following with interest.

I had a college boyfriend who's product design idea for women was a Prince themed purple condom tin. To this day I have no idea what it symbolised or why he thought it would appeal to anyone.

Weren’t you going to block him, Op? You see, by sending you a song that you are now analysing, he stays in your head. And now if/when you hear that song, you will think of him. He is messing with your head.

Oh... then it's not the song or artist that has the meaning, it's the act of sending you something, anything, to reel you back in to talking to him. He's fishing. Just block him and move on with your life.

Yes he is blocked.sincr mid this week. F in annoyingly I am like having god damn withdrawals. He's been in my life nearly a year and got so bloody used to it.

That was my first thought!!

Good! The withdrawals may be because you’re trauma bonded; if you haven’t come across it, Google ‘intermittent reinforcement’ ; that’s what all his blowing hot and cold (example: chasing you, then telling you about his girlfriend) does to your mind. It’s really hard but you need to break this bond before it gets stronger.

This is why people say don't get involved with anyone before a divorce. Enough grief on my plate right now!

I swear I need such a hand hold right now to his hold over me GONE

That he's the love of my life and we could appreciate Prince together

You see! This! This is the poison in the back of brain!

You’re more vulnerable because you’ve recently come out of a significant/long relationship. This is a common theme for many on here who have had their hearts broken. Distraction is key. You can do it, Op!

He could have sent you Poison by Alice Cooper at least!

It says he is a basic bitch and that he hasn't got got the conversational skills to entice women so is relying on sending songs from his Spotify playlist. Next thing will be a selfie on Snapchat with a filter of devil ears or dog ears.

Literally this.

OP, at least he hasn't asked you to 'purify yourself ' in a lake just so he can have a sly perv

Does sea swimming count?

The guy with the Soundgarden tee sounds great, do you have his number?

Erotic city is way worse….

What are the rest of the songs on the mix tape? Can you detect a theme?

I would say your best move is send him an obscure song back, with no explanation other than this emoji: "🤫", then block him.

First song that comes to mind for me would be The Chicken Song by Spitting Image. No hidden meaning it's just stuck in my head.

That he has really dodgy musical taste :(
