Deep. That would mean thoughtful, or thought provoking. While those songs you listed are political in nature, are they deep? Hmmm. Tough call. Prince has a lot of political songs. Even the weird "Ronnie, Talk 2 Russia" is blatantly political. "Sexuality" is social commentary, as is "America", "Race", "Papa". "Annie Christian" is too (which makes me realize that Controversy is a more political/social album that some might first think it to be). Then you have Prince answering criticisms in songs like "Hello" and "Billy Jack Bitch". But deep?

I think "If I Was Your Girlfriend" is deep. He's really exploring the ways to get to this girl, and get on the "in" with her, and have her open up (more than her meat curtains) to him. "Forever In My Life" is along those lines too. It's more than one of those "if we got married, would that be cool?" lines.

I think "Electric Chair" is deep. That line...that line is so perfect. "If a man is considered guilty for what goes on in his mind, then give me the electric chair for all my future crimes." I always thought that was fucking brilliant. He's giving into his weakness in some ways. It's an interesting juxtaposition when you compare it to the Bible, when God said, "Don't lust over a woman, even if you think it in your heart, you've done it." Prince is giving into (not on a sexual level per se) his lack of control in some regards. He's giving up the ghost of the situation, "I can't stop, so just shoot me now." The whole song is about seeing a girl and wanting to seduce her and possess her, no matter what. But yet somehow, it goes beyond the usual "Oh, I can't hold it, oh, it's gettin' all over me" type thing. There's a sinister nature to the song, a darker, raw, animalistic emotion to it.

Prince is definitely a story teller, and so many of his songs are based on real life experiences, and whatever idealism he's gained over his life. Stuff like "Dear Mr. Man", "Money Don't Matter 2 Nite", "Positivity", "Dance On", "Anna Stesia", "Dreamer", etc are his on whatever is going on in the world. But many of us have those opinions, or similar ones, so are we all as deep as Prince? Nah, I think we, and Prince, are attentive to the world and the news at large.

Deepest lyrics?????

I've always found the lyrics to 'The Love We Make' as deep

Desperate is the day that is 2morrow
4 those who do not know the time has come
2 whip the dogs that beg, steal or borrow
From the table God set 4 His Son
Wicked is the witch that stands 4 nothing
All the while watching 2 see U fall
Deeper than the ditch that bred your suffering
The one being dug right now by them all

Happy is the way 2 meet your burdens
No matter how heavy or dark the day
Pity on those with no hope 4 2morrow
It's never as bad as it seems until we say

Precious is the baby with a mother
That tells him that his Saviour is coming soon
All that believe will cleanse and purify themselves
Put down the needle, put down the spoon {x2}

Sacred is the prayer that asks 4 nothing, oh
While seeking 2 give thanks 4 every breath we take, oh
Blessed are we inside this prayer
4 in the new world, we will be there
The only love there is, is the love we make {x2}
(The only love there is, is the love we make)
Only love there is, only love there is
The only love there is, is the love we make (Yeah)
The only love there is, is the love we make

Power Fantastic

Holy River

"And then it hit you like a fist on a wall
Who gave you life when there was none at all?
Who gave the sun permission to rise up everyday?

If you asked god to love you longer,
every breathe you take would make you stronger
Keeping you happy and proud to call his name
Jesus (Jesus)

Over and over you ask your soul,
why'd you come down to a World so cold?
A voice inside says tonight the truth will be told"


I would Die 4 U

"Your just a sinner I am told, be your fire when you are cold
Make you happy when your sad, make you good when you bad
I'm not a human I am a dove, I'm your conscience I am love
All that I really need, is to know that you believe"


Ill think of others, them two were off the top of my head

I always thought "Computer Blue" was deep. For once, Prince doesn't have all the answers. God doesn't respond to his plea for the perfect woman who will complete him and make everything alright. So he's forced to look at himself and question the way he sees others. Upon introspection, he learns that he can't idealize women, that they are "hardwired" the same as men and have needs and desires of their own that need to be met. In actuality, there is no "righteous one".
