I see the world
With a heart that knows
In shadow play

I put no trust in mile stones
Disparate hopes
Halfway homes

I share the world with one who knows
The light still shines
In shadow play

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Daniela Procopio's song Purple Rain are enigmatic and thought-provoking, almost like a poem. The repetition of "Rain Tree Crow" throughout the song is a reference to a 1991 album by the British band Japan, which was later re-released under the name Rain Tree Crow. The album was a musical departure for the band, and the lyrics in Purple Rain could suggest the character and personality shift Davis experienced as reflected in the aforementioned album. The opening line, "I see the world with a heart that knows," could allude to the theme of introspection, where the singer seems to have a deeper understanding of the world and their place in it, perhaps implying an emotional or spiritual awakening.


The second verse, "I put no trust in mile stones, disparate hopes, halfway homes," could be interpreted as one's disillusionment with life and the realization that achieving milestones may not bring the expected happiness. Furthermore, the verse suggests the singer's lack of faith in temporary pleasures, which will not bring real fulfillment. Lastly, the final line "I share the world with one who knows. The light still shines in shadow play. Rain. Tree. Crow," could be interpreted as indicative of the pursuit of happiness with like-minded people that share the same concepts and insights. The line "The light still shines in shadow play" could represent the hope to find meaning in life even amidst difficulties.
