3121/Heaven?

3121 is that supposed to be heaven? Ya know, like Paisley Park. 3121 ya can never leave. Sorry don't have the booklet w/me, but y'all know the lyrics. So he's sayin don't ya wanna get saved and go to heaven in this album.

WHY does Prince always use codes for this kinda stuff? I mean, he's so religious, or whatever. Well then why all the mysterious crap? Isn't it WRONG to refer to heaven as 3121? Or Paisley Park.

Whats the deal?

I think you are over-interpreting things.

Well Prince obviously wants us to read into it. Why else would he say "3121 don't ya wanna come?". Who talks like that?

The only other song I know w/numbers is 867 5309.

The deal is , he is creative with his songs.
Besides the fools on this site get mad enough if he uses
religious words, he can use 3121/paisleypark,/the dawn,,whatever he wants
if its fonky..i dont care....now...Dont U wanna come? 3121

I agree!! Why does it even have to mean anything? Why can't it be for simple enjoyment...without interpretation?

When I go to McDonals, I don't ponder the relevance of the chicken nugget...or wonder aloud why Ronald wears those big ass shoes!! I take them for what they are worth...pay the lady in the booth...and drive away knowing I'll soon be enjoying what they claim to be beef. Who really cares about anything deeper...ya know?

Sure, music can and should be interpreted. But, it should be intepreted internally by the listener. The artist themselves don't get to make that interpretation for you. It's up to you to do that for yourself...

Just my 2 cents.

Paisley Park is not Heaven it's a state of mind
turned studio turned concept

like "Uptown" was a state of mind as much as it
used to be a hangout.

plus he never mentions "Heaven" as such on this
album.

3121, if anything seems to be a regular joint 2
hang out and party. A physical place, even more
so than Paisley Park.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I don't think folks are allowed to drink beverages containing alcohol from cups with chocolate handles.

Unless they are Kahula drinks.

"Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."

3121 is a condition of the mind. Unlike Paisly Park that was a condition of the heart.

Heaven isn't 3121 nor is 3121 ment to be heaven.
