Purple Rain
獅子合唱團 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
I never wanted to be your a weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal you from another
It′s such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain
Honey I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new
That means you to
You say you want a leader
But you can′t seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
If you know what I'm singing about up here
C'mon raise your hand
Purple rain purple rain
I only want to see you
Only want to see you
In the purple rain
The lyrics of “Purple Rain” by 獅子合唱團 speak of regret and longing. The singer laments causing pain and sorrow to someone they cared for and only wishes to see them happy and laughing again. The chorus brings up the image of purple rain, which can be interpreted as a metaphor of sadness or a purifying force that brings change. The singer then coaxes the person to let him guide them through their tough time, possibly hinting at their own growth or leadership capability.
The verse "I never wanted to be your weekend lover, I only wanted to be some kind of friend. Baby I could never steal you from another" reveals that the singer was in love with someone who was already committed to someone else, but instead of being aggressive, their wish was to be a friend to the person they loved. Although the friendship ended, the singer still feels a desire to be with this person and yearns to see them flourish in life.
Overall, the song can be interpreted in many ways, but it primarily explores feelings of loss, regret, and love.
