If you know Prince and have listened to lyrics in his other songs, you would know he is very sexual, and also spiritual. The color purple ,in Christianity is signified as a color of royalty. In the song "Purple Rain", the purple rain is the "Grace of God, and/or Salvation". He is sorry that things had to end with this woman, but he only wanted to see her (laughing, bathing, underneath) in the purple rain(Grace of God).
"You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain" "Grace of God."
In the song "1999", "when I woke up this mornin', could've sworn it was Judgment Day. The sky was all purple, there were people runnin' everywhere. Trying to run from the destruction..." This symbolizes God's Wrath, and Purple Rain is God's Grace.
