Purple Rain
John-Severin & The Quiet 1s Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To you, you know
Your love's got me running so
Your eyes in me
They got me I cannot be free
The time will flow
Some dreams are gonna let you know
We look but don't see
We feel as long as we can be
I'll set the world on fire
I am gonna lose my mind
I walk around I see you in my way
I've never had a clue
How the soul is turning blue
I'm getting down under a purple rain
The wind of dawn
Always turns my memory on
And I see I hear
I can feel that love is near
One night I know
A dream is gonna let you know
The time will show
If our river again will flow

The leaves will fall
I'm waiting for nothing at all
The time goes slow
My mind is going high and low
One night I know
A dream is gonna let you know




We look but don't see
We feel as long as we can be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Purple Rain" by John-Severin & The Quiet 1s delve into themes of love, longing, and uncertainty. The opening lines suggest a sense of being trapped or restrained by the intensity of the singer's love for someone. The imagery of "Your eyes in me" conveys a feeling of being deeply affected and unable to escape the pull of their gaze, symbolizing a powerful emotional connection that renders the singer unable to break free.


As the lyrics progress, the concept of time and dreams emerges as significant motifs. The reference to "Some dreams are gonna let you know" hints at the idea of dreams serving as messengers or revealing truths that may be hidden in waking life. The juxtaposition of "We look but don't see" and "We feel as long as we can be" suggests a contrast between surface-level perceptions and deep emotional experiences that defy rational understanding.


The imagery shifts to a more intense and vivid portrayal as the singer expresses a desire to "set the world on fire" and feeling like they are on the brink of losing their mind. The mention of seeing the other person in their way and the soul turning blue suggests a sense of inner turmoil and confusion, possibly stemming from unrequited love or a sense of being overwhelmed by emotions.


The repeated reference to a purple rain brings a dreamlike and surreal quality to the lyrics, evoking a sense of longing and melancholy. The wind of dawn stirring memories and the anticipation of a dream revealing truths about the future highlight the singer's yearning for clarity and resolution. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a complex mix of emotions, from desire and uncertainty to hope and resignation, all set against a backdrop of wistful reflection on the passage of time and the mysteries of love.
