what is Fury about?

Listened to it again randomly and remembered we started a thread about this years ago...

Sounds something like an argument between him and some chick...but still...I think he either just didn't write it well enough for it to be understood (which has been a thing with his lyrics lately) or he tried too hard to disguise the real issue in this one.

What do you think? Still to this day I can't accuratley recite the song to myself without sounding confused.

It describes and chronicles the red hot journey of Prince's semen as it is shot through the air.

Oh please. This again? How many artists have a "sound" that results in some of their songs having similar elements with regard to chord progressions? Considering the size of Prince's catalog, the similarities between Fury and 1999 are nothing to write home about.

perfection is a fallacy of the imagination...

There are some similarities, but so... two great songs, "Mommy, why does everybody have a ...."

Doesn't sound all that mysterious to me. He's telling a former lover she's had her chance and he's with somebody else now. And she's furious about it. Whether that's a true story or an imagined one or a bit of both is anyone's guess.

I just do not like the way he wrote the lyrics.

Maybe I was just looking for more than what was there.

Probably a lot, but "Fury" isn't one of them.

Used Fury as an example of shit storytelling in this thread: http://prince.org/msg/7/329714

Don't try to make sense of it, it's too garbled.

Catchy tho...
