Which Prince lyrics give you chills now that he's gone? I never realized just how many Prince lyrics refer to death. Which ones now give you chills when you listen to them? For me right now are the lyrics to Affirmation iii on AOA...
"How are you feeling today Mr. Nelson. I trust you're having a quick and enjoyable adjustment period. As you can see... we're communicating now telepathtically."
To be honest, all the lyrics in that song send chills up my spine. So good... and it's not even Prince singing! | |

The whole song "Last December" seems both introspective and a cry for peace at the same time. That is the song that has resonated for me the most. | |

"Maybe I'll die young, like heroes die"
or this one really got me:

The entire lyrics to June. I believe he is referring to himself being gone on this song. |

Mr Nelson, Mr Nelson, can you hear my voice? Sir, we know you're a little bit groggy And you're probably going to find it hard to speak But don't try to talk or process too much now We just want to let you know that the medication you were given Has put you in a suspended animation for quite some time In fact 45 years But where you are now, is in a place that doesn't require time That saying, you are completely safe And we are here to help you" |

That's the one that does it for me as well. And unfortunately the first time heard this was after he died, so it immediately jumped out at me.

was listening to Black Muse on the way in. Made me really sad when I heard this part talking about a possible future love in his life and a kid: ---- The next close encounter

These "Fascination" lyrics from "The Truth" album really sum of his entire death. He knew what would happen with abusing medication, yet, he continued. . | |

All of this and more is for you
His first song on his first album, its almost as if he knew his destiny was to share his music/life with us until his very last day. Thankyou Prince for sharing your life and music with us. [Edited 5/13/16 13:25pm] | |

Not really a lyric but just watched graffiti bridge for the first time ever... And the 'thieves in the temple' video on the extras. Morris day's line "so how do you want to die?" ... Not cool!  It was not in vain...it was in Minneapolis! | |

I had disturbing thought about that last sentence, then found instant sadness. A lot of his music sounds different now. Dont know why, not better or worse, just different. Even some of his songs that I really didn't care for (very few) or have the patience to listen to before, now seem more interesting. Perception is a weird thing, ain't it. | |

Two bits popped out on me that struck me some kinda way as I was listening to, of all things, My Computer "Evil incorporated, blowing up bombs and thangs I have a child, huh, I have a lot to explain" "I called an old friend of mine just the other day No congratulations, no respect paid All she did was wonder if the rumors were true I said, 'No, I ain't dead yet but, uh, what about you?'" Definitely gave me chills as I guess I blocked out those parts of the song in ny head before I listened. . <3 Prince <3

On hearing Way Back Home I thought it was ominous. Only dying men speak such honesty normally. I still believe it was his goodbye. And it didn't leave me feeling as though he was truly happy with life. To have so much yet not find what you need. We're all different to an extent but I find the closest I get to love and life is when hearing my grandchildren say grandpa and seeing their smiling faces. My heart melts every single time and my eyes get wet. I'm rambling  | |

I was a pretty dark movie with suicide being a major theme I guess. I'm not suggesting that's how he passed but it makes me wonder how often he thought about it. I agree he may have been upset with how his life turned out from the perspective of never really finding the one. I think Revelation on HR2 was him realizing maybe he should have made things work with someone from his past. Vanity or another... Surprise, surprise.
