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.[

"The song wasn't about his father. It was inspired by his father. It was about his relationship with the female in the movie.
Watch the movie. its good. It's 80s cheesy, but good."
