I've already said how much I love this song.
It's saying also no more easy way out... no shortcuts. The only line I can't get is, "2 all the freax walking in2 walls somebody put a spell on u. No more candy 4 u eye guess the devil got a brand new fool"... Who is he referring 2 here? ALSO... listen 2 the first spoken line, "9 out of 10 mortals agree 2day; 2 much fame causes spiritual decay", and it sounds like it was lifted directly from the Graffiti Bridge era, in the way he speaks it, and the way it's recorded. CHECK IT. "He's a musician's musician..." |

Atheists? / Anyone who doesn't share his beliefs? Those who don't subscribe to religious dogma are often referred to as blind by those who do - hence walking into walls. And I'd guess getting to live with Mr. Devil is what he thinks will happen to the 'freax'. Or possibly not, but it does seem to me like that sort of reference.

CHECK IT. 
Dear Dad, things didn't turn out quite like I wanted them to... Lemmy, Bowie, Prince, Leonard. RIP. |

purplecam said: This thread is a great reminder to me of why I love Prince. This song is so classic in that it makes you wonder what the hell he means with "candy." Since so many here long for the so-called "old Prince", this is a great way to have him back. Why you ask? He could have easily told us in the Tavis interview or any other way what he meant with "candy" but he hasn't, so like many of those great songs from back in the day, it's open to interpretation. The mystery of that one simple word makes the song that much more interesting in my eyes. It gets you to thinking and discussing and making it work for YOU the listener. That's just marvelous!
[Edited 5/21/09 7:07am] naw cause he might have followed suit about colonized mind and gave up another larry graham fight scene lol man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

optimus said: I like the song but dont understand it
"2 all the haters on the internet, somebodys looking at u, no more candy 4 u, we got ur number now fool" whats he mean by "no more candy"? "You lost your time and freedom (on the internet) while 'dissing' me!" (He has expressed similar views in the lyrics of "2045: Radical Man" and "F.U.N.K."...some about losing freedom due to the Internet during "My Computer".) You also lose "Purple Priveledges" = Candy. Like someone else responded in this thread.. Now, even a businessman like Prince can know you by your ISP address. So, you think you can still get those "Purple Priveledge Tickets on Pre-Sale"? "No More Candy For You!" Log-in... "Sold Out" appears on your screen..
