I know a chick that went to see him in concert and was scouted for him for sex.

I wonder if he thought of that song and it's message while he was screwing her.

Yup, it's true. She really was just a regular girl too. What I mean is she wasn't all glammed out or skanked to the nines.

What is there to explain?

She was at his concert, a dude approached her and her friend, let them come up to the front for a great view. She was asked if she wanted to meet him, she did, they fucked. She never heard from him again.

The end.

lol No, it's a dude who wrote a nice song & probably meant it for a second or two & then did what people do - put it in a package to benefit himself, especially a dude who looks like that. He's gonna fuck every willing girl he can AND go on Oprah talking about his catalogue of heartfelt songs lol

I get that read on it too. Especially when you realize by listening to his live lyrics that what he really meant was "now I'M left cleaning up the mess he made", not "SHE'S left. . .".

But I'd like to agree that "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" is fucking fantastic.

And if a scout hauled my ass backstage, I'd be fine with that. lol
oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1!

It comes across, to me, that he is saying we are from another planet and need to be treated like delicate babies or else we're going to make another man's life a living hell because, of course, he doesn't have any issues. I don't like the message that every woman becomes a mother. That expectation should never be put on a woman's shoulders without her wanting it. He also comes across as if to say men are the most important thing to a woman's mental health: You are the god and the weight of her world. Shut the fuck up. Then he says Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
Women aren't strong? Get the fuck out of my face with that. He hides his hate of women in a nice melody. I'm not fallin' for it.

Yeah, the "you are the god and the weight of her world" line always struck me too.

I sometimes hear it and wonder, because in some ways the song seems out of character for him, and because he is a very intelligent smartass, if he meant it as sort of tongue-in-cheek. Like, the girl he was with was blaming the ills of the world on her father, and he sort of got sick of the power she was giving him and wrote this sort of pissy satirical song. Which may be a stretch, but in the context of the rest of what I've heard from him (which is pretty much everything; I'm a big fan), I do wonder.
