How many ways has Prince referred 2 himself in his songs

hmm

1. The Continental "I am the Continental" "Im the main thing"

2. La la la he he he "I am a dog outside ur door"

3. I would die 4 u "Im not a woman, Im not a man"

4. Chaos & Disorder "Im just a lonely reporter"

5. The One "I am Weasal" neutral

He was not referring to himself with this line.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Because the song is from the point of view of God (or Christ).

what does that mean? how childish.


I was asking why that song could not have been from his own perspetive with the messiah analogy used as a metaphor. I think he was talking about himself. not maybe literally him, prince but from a lovers perspective.

You didn't ask anything. You just pissed on what I said.

Talk about childish.

I have put together my own cd of jams where Prince said "I am" something or whatever, in a song. I was only going with song titles, not just one line or phrase. I used:
The One
The Golden Lover
Pretty Man
Party Man
Electric Man
Mr. Happy
Mr. Goodnight
My Name Is Prince
Cybersingle
I am the DJ
Baby, I'm A Star
Violet the Organ Grinder

No particular order, but is cool to listen to! Did I miss any song? I just remembered, "Movie Star". That is a cool song. I'm going to go back and add that track.

Remember that one song from the truth cd, one of your tears? Prince said,"Sometimes I wanna die and come back as one of your tears."

there's a few in I Would Die 4 U.

"I'm not a woman, I'm not a man / I am something that you'll never understand"
"I'm not your lover, I'm your friend / I am something that you'll never comprehend"

is referring to something he's not lol

"I'm your Messiah"

"I'm not a human, I'm a dove / I'm your conscience, I am love"

-----

"U know what else I am? U know what else I am, I am? I'm a good kisser 2."
