The emotional lyrics have multiple meanings; on the surface, they seem to be an apology from one lover to another, though on a deeper level, they become more of a spiritual allegory. It is a theory that "Purple Rain" is a metaphor for heaven, inspired by the testimonies of a woman who died on the operating table that the afterlife is full of falling purple rain.

It was said that after a nuclear explosion purple rain falls. the song is about his fights with his girlfriend and that he is hoping that she will still be there "dancing in the purple rain" so she would still be there after the fights. Also prince uses purple as a signature color so it works good there also.

Don't know but I really like that whole "nuclear explosion" theory. Someone should just ask Prince himself. He'd know.

Prince being Pince;freakish and sly,i think that he was disappointed that his lover didn t enjoy being urinated on.....At the near end of the song "D.M.S.R." Prince referred to his penis being a "purple rock" in which we all could take a bite of,so its only typical of him to consider his urine as "Purple Rain".On one live video while singing the song Prince ask the audience did they know what they were singing about when they sung the chorus.i quess he thought of it{purple rain} as some type of "royal" holy water.

Purple is the color of royalty. "Rain" can be changed to "Reign", as in the reign of a King or Queen. So, "Purple Reign" would the rulership of royalty
I always figured it simply related to princes love of purple
