"If U can learn to open your eyes under water. U and I won't drown without eachother. I Promise I'll see U on the other side."

What do U make of these lyrix?

Where is the other side?

Should I buy a case of cigarettes? Hang out with a Russian that likes to spin a wheel? Help me out here.

I Just Don't Know.

I think you need to look at all the lyrics in the song, not just those lyrics.


HERE
HOW BEAUTIFUL R U? THERE’S MORE THAN
A THOUSAND REPLIES
COULD IT B UR LIPS OR UR GOLDEN EYES?
WHEN EYE THINK OF AN ANSWER
THAT’S WHEN EYE GET SO SURPRISED
ANOTHER WONDER OF THE WORLD REALIZED
THAT’S Y
EYE JUST DON’T WANT U HERE
EYE JUST DON’T WANT U NEAR ME BABY
CUZ EYE’M SCARED EYE’LL CRY
AND LIVE U LIKE CRAZY
FLYING ABOVE ALL FEARS
EYE HAVEN’T SEEN ANY TEARS, NOT LATELY
EYE DON’T WANNA LAND NOT EVEN MAYBE
HOW DESPERATE AM EYE?
EYE WONDER IF U R WHAT KEEPS ME ALIVE
ALONE EYE CAN’T GET AS HIGH
EVEN THO EYE’VE TRIED
IT’S DIFFERENT WHEN U’RE GROWN
THE WINE DON’T TASTE THE SAME
WHEN U’RE ALONE
THE SIZE OF THE BED NOW SEEMS LIKE
THE BIGGEST THAT EYE’VE EVER KNOWN
CHORUS
THERE’S SO MUCH MORE 4 U AND ME 2 EXPLORE
OOH BABY BABY
WHEN U WALK THRU THAT DOOR
EYE AM GONNA GIVE U WHAT U’RE WAITING 4
BABY LEMME BREAK THIS DOWN
EYE AM GONNA SAY THIS ONCE
THEN EYE AM GONNA LEAVE THIS TOWN
IF U CAN LEARN 2 OPEN UR EYES UNDER WATER
THEN U AND ME WON’T DROWN
WITHOUT EACH OTHER
EUE PROMISE EYE’LL C U ON THE OTHER SIDE
JUST BELIEVE IN ME AND TRUST THIS RIDE
EYE AM SO SINCERE RIGHT NOW
EYE JUST…
EYE JUST WANT U HERE
EYE JUST WANT U NEAR ME BABY
EYE’M SCARED EYE’LL CRY
AND LOVE U LIKE CRAZY
EYE’M FLYING ABOVE ALL FEARS
EYE HAVEN’T SEEN ANY TEARS NOT LATELY, NO
EYE DON’T WANNA LAND, NOT EVEN MAYBE
DONNY HATHAWAY’S “SONG 4 U” AIN’T THE SAME
WITHOUT U
HERE


I believe it was written for Mayte, during/before the time of his name change. He wanted to be with her, but wanted to wait intil he was "Free."
If she could see to the future... that he wouldn't "Die" withwout her... that they would be together after he was free from WB (the other side)

Pretty song-I think either Mayte' or Mani

Thanks for posting the lyrics. The question is...what is the other side?

The other side of what?

A Wall?

Life?

Fame?

A Mountain?

Ha Ha you always make me smile

The other side of I'm a rock star
and I don't need no sweet cuddle.

The other side of the ride in the river of life *If u can learn 2 hold ur head above water* It's the other side of whatever is going down between them, it's him saying 2 trust him she is beautiful, it's not because of "her" he's involved in something he can't get out of he is scared 2 let go in her. *I hear the dance playing in my mind* He could be reluctant 2 give in until he knows until she shows how much she cares..He has 2 trust her 2, I think of chocolate box in connection with this song for some reason..All of this is speculative
Just a wild guess.. or is it? I guess only the women knows only she knows..

Lyrics Decyfered:

"Morris, open your eyes fool, and look at me while were both soaking in this tub. Now flip me over on the 'other side' and do your thang. "

piccolo7 said:

This is the best response...Thank U NeferAsetiti. That's right, it could be a wall of certainty. Prince needs love, not some gorgeous girl that looks great in everything from a cocktail dress to a handsome law suit.

Tame said:

Prince is saying that... If you can walk alone without me... through all that isnt clear and easy, you'll be fine. U and I won't drown without each other simply means that "we can make it" even if we're not together.

I'll promise see you on the other side = I'll see you in the afterlife.

Beautiful song! My favorite on Lotus Flower!

I kinda felt ur statement as well, it could be possible he knew he couldn't interfer with her journey for if he did she couldn't unfold on her own like the lotus within her spiritual path, she needed 2 learn 2 stand on her own. It hurts for him 2 have 2 wait for her for she may be much "younger" and is still awakening. He's trying 2 tell her * u n me could be comfortable, what r u waiting 4 u know I'm free* He has 2 be patient for her 2 be ready 4/4-ever 2 see self love and love in the 1, it's growing with each passing day* * He's waiting for her 2 be ready 2 believe she is the 1 *take this ring and make love 2 me* * He's still trying 2 seek her, but he is scared it will not be before he see's her on the other side but he want's it here on Earth * In the afterlife he will wait for her there 2, always and 4-ever they have been 2gether* *I'm still not sure if u really love me* *drinving away with a smile on my face * Lion of Juddah * I hear better with time also.. In my mind in connection 2 all this If she survived what ever was between them they would finally merge perhaps and that would be the greatest gift for what they went through 2 finally unite 2gether 4-ever nothing could ever bring them apart again for all they did was for each other so they could live 2gether 4-ever in paradise.. Cuz all they went through was 2 find 1 another 2 love.. Just a speculation.. maybe..I pray for them 2 be as 1 if it is true with every single cell that revolves around the sun

It's in the depths of the abyss within which is found within my heart. Maybe that wall of certainty is the high which 1 could fear from falling from.. You are so welcome Sweet Angel

Yes dear 1 I did get really lost and found in this song.. It's so amazing how music can make me feel and see things inside of me that I may have never felt before. Music 2 me is 1 of the most sacred expressions of God for it is a great gift 2 see and journey within my universe.. this song really hit home within my heart (IB) it opened me up 2 something much greater than I ever realized I was, I am very grateful for it's beauty. I am thankful for him sharing his views of love that is seen through his eyes.. It is spellbinding 2 me

He's afraid to love and maybe just maybe he will be happy on the other side.
So he loves the wOman in the lyrics but afraid to show it.
Maybe he could show it on the otherside.....
She younger and has no experience.....
He is older and has experience.....

Other side is Heaven....

mayrain said:

Now!!! I hope the ladies don't get mad at me, but Prince is 51yrs going on 52yrs. If he waits for a younger person, sooner or later he is going to be 70 and ain't nobody nobody going to want seventy-year old man.....

boogiebear said:

I can't be mad at ya boogie, you get down like a big bear so ur all good in my book I beleive that every1 wants different things when it comes 2 love though and that depends on the heart and soul with a mixture of GOD and the Architect. I wanna clarify, I wasn't speaking of AGE I was speaking of her coming 2 age within her own, what she wants in love and life that takes life and experience, not necissarily a number
Plus who's 2 say maybe GOD is gonna hook him up with the 1 when it's in his master plan of destiny, When he has rippened 2 a point 2 be able 2 give her the nourishment she needs. Maybe she's "There" with him right now. My belief is every1 has their time, like the lotus when they unfold the petals and find what's truly inside. Then they know what they really want and need 2 showcase who they are and how they love in connection with a partner. What if the women dosen't want children then it wouldn't matter, "grandpa" would be out of the equation. I enjoy a man who is mature and refined, that takes experience (time) for some since I don't live in time.

That's sexy 2 me, cuz he can take me places and teach me things, I could refreash an older man and give him new experiences he hasn't had allready. *there are so many things we can do in the new world* It's about imagination and fantasy like the innocence of a child. Excitement, maybe he would be bored with the "normal" the blueprint which most of society lives by which there is nothing wrong with but it may be unfullfilling 4 him or what he needs 2 be happy *cinderella was a waste of time* I would be unfullfillied, I am an artist I need inspiration. I need and want 2 be inspired..1 of the things that takes is the fountain of youth and 1 has 2 find it within, it's in joy and celebration, not rules and limits with limited boxed in thinking. I think of the line *is that the Queen of Sheba or an Alien Dream* Make it juicy and riveting fantasy's are exciting and u get 2 explore urself without these "societal pressures of what should be considered a normal relationship" *fantasy's are better in real life of course* Making them reality is the key, 2 keep things going in book. If not I could loose passion and excitement for life and joy with a partner. My kind of love is about fantasy,dreaming,passion,art and romance. I have found older men have that down, for many differenct reasons, knowing who they are and what they want is some of them. I will say an older man ususally knows how 2 love deeper cuz he's been through what love isn't so he care share what his love is.

I prefer an older man, most younger men I meet don't have the same ideals or desires I do. The feminine energy is sacred like the lotus flower, I only speak 2 men who treat me like a lady, a women. It's about the old school, the company has 2 be a gentleman 2 be able 2 do that, usually that is found in better with time..
Sorry Tame I went a bit off ur Topic please forgive me..

I Love Ya a Lot!!! But as a Man experience younger women. They were Manpulative and kinda childish. Prince goes after younger women and get the same results. NO I don't want to turn beautiful into older vs young. But coming from male point of view. If you're broken fix it. Meaning reverse the situation.... Because its the same old men on the corner of Chicago had that same way of thinking and they are alone... I love u girl
Still I Love Ya GIRL

U MADE ALOT OF VERY GOOD POINT...

boogiebear said:

R u seriously reffering my expression of love with an old man on the corner? Wha??? I was talking about the essence of love that's UNCONDITIONAL. I am on a different plane then u, where r not in the same space.. I am not from the south side of Chi-town give me a break big boogiebear Being YOUNG meaning an AGE has nothing 2 do with being childish or manipulative. A women who is of an OLDER (AGE) are known 2 be just as so. 2 me it comes down 2 is spiritual awarness *growth of the heart and soul in2 awarness and coming in2 their own* and development of the being inside and the willingness 2 seek that journey, some do it early and stay young some do it old and regain their youth. I prefer men with *Experience* like I spoke for my own personal reasons. Jus like u found "younger" women 2 be immature and childish. Did u see it so b/c it's not what u wanted or was looking 4 so they seemed so? I see things get interesting when u start 2 generalize, instead of looking at an individual person. People have tastes not ever1 is the same. That was ur experience and ever1 does not have the same experiences in life. Individuality makes up the different ways we view reality. A fresh women was not ur bag it didn't make u happy that does not mean it would be the case for someone else..A fresh women could be *older* in ur words, it's what's inside that defines it. Love has no "rules" listen 2 *LOVE*. Who's 2 say Prince is alone anyway?? It's all good I respect ur views on love, mine r just different than urs and what is another mans gloom is another mans glory, oh n I love u 2 DADDY Cat since u a r calling me GIRL it's only fitting, I am glad u know what makes u feel love by not interacting with *younger* women
I would like 2 stay on topic 2 and not make this about me, so Tame asked about the lyrics in Here, I love these lyrics I really felt a connection 2 them I felt he did a really great job on showcasing what love means 2 him and what he is looking for 2 fill the SHOE he is craving 2 experience on Earth...

NeferAsetTiti said:

So you are saying some of the right things.(BUT) "Lady That Is ON MY Coat Tail".
What can A younger women give to Prince? A Good Time: Prince is a smart Brother.
Now for you I'm going to get your E-mail address And maybe your number so we can talk... No I don't want to offend Prince younger girl fan base. so I guess that is up to Prince. Or my Tiger she knows who she is. I'm out. Luv4u and Mayrain

boogiebear said:

Sigh..My furry friend, lost in translation again.. points missed, It's not about "young or old" 2 me as far as a number, I don't think in age concepts. *AGE is a CAGE* It's about the connection between 2 people who have the same ideals and desires which fit the puzzle. The most important 2 me is a spiritual connection, that is the foundation which lasts 4-ever more. I hope what any1 offers 2 another is LOVE..No matter who they r or what they have, that is what I have 2 give, just simply LOVE. I don't want 2 be right, there is no right... there just is... when u don't judge u r... therefore u become. I just am ME and I AM explaining my truth. I hope Prince has a good time, isn't that a great thing 2 have in life, that's what makes some1 smart in my eyes. Some1 who is in love with love in love with life. Ha ha I already gave some1 my number and I'm waiting for his call so sorry I am occupied. I will see u on the other side big boogie

NeferAsetTiti said:

I love you GIRL .... I will be in the clouds in Heaven.... And you are going to Orgnote me. I have the Six Sense... And you know that...

Tame said:

He just wants you here Tame (on the org), not in MN.

j/k


To me sounds like he's saying that
soon he'll cross oceans, somewhere here on earth, in answer to her request to be with her,
or something like that.

NeferAsetTiti said:

ure right .... its abt connection with 2 people like u say the
spiritual connection ....
like me l have a spiritual connection with someone...which is the foundation which last 4ever,,,,,even l knw tht a strong foundation...
not many people will understand this....
