Purple Rain
Verdiana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never meant 2 cause u any sorrow
I never meant 2 cause u any pain
I only wanted 2 one time see u laughing
I only wanted 2 see u laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

I only wanted 2 see u bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover
I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal u from another
It's such a shame our friendship had 2 end

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

I only wanted 2 see u underneath the purple rain

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out 4 something new
That means u 2
U say u want a leader
But u can't seem 2 make up your mind
I think u better close it
And let me guide u 2 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 2 see u, only want 2 see u
In the purple rain

Overall Meaning

Verdiana's song "Purple Rain" is a tribute to Prince's iconic song of the same name. In the song, the singer expresses regret for causing pain and sorrow to someone they care about. They emphasize that their only wish was to see this person happy and laughing, specifically in the purple rain, which could represent anything from a natural phenomenon to a state of euphoria. The repeated phrase "Purple rain" serves as both a refrain and a symbol, highlighting the singer's desire for a deeper connection with this person.


The second verse reveals that the singer did not intend to be a "weekend lover" and only wanted to be a friend to this person. However, it seems that circumstances came between them, and a once-positive friendship became damaged. The third verse takes a turn towards a more optimistic tone as the singer acknowledges that times are changing, and it's time to move on to something new. They even offer to be a leader for this person, but they must be willing to let go of whatever is holding them back and embrace the purple rain.


Overall, the song expresses a range of emotions, from regret to hopefulness, and creates a vivid image of a purple-hued world that represents joy and liberation.
