In a nutshell, this song (with The Book Of Revelations in the Holy Bible being a key reference) is about the day when sin(7 deadly sins) and evil in general will be no more..... and peace and heavenly glory will rule and reign forever and forever more.....
I like in the liner notes to Hits And B-Sides..when it says someone asked Prince what did this song mean..and he just looked at them and smiled. Brother 9/15 [This message was edited Fri May 14 8:23:50 2004 by BRO915] | |

someone needs to retell the story of how the song was recorded - it's on the 3 chains video, but I haven't watched that in a while. | |

In her hand she holds the very key Revelation 20: 1-2 1) And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2) He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. Revelation 21:21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass. And a, there will be no death 4 with every breath
Revelation 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." _____ Here are a couple of scriptures that are kind of interesting and may or may not pertain to the song: Revelation 17 9) "This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. 10) They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while. 11) The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction. Proverbs 24:16 for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity. This is all I could find, maybe someone can find more. Peace EXCELLENT! Yoda Luminous beings are we...not this crude matter.
Is this 2morrow or just the END of time? The Funk will always b with u "I've got a face, not just my race, Bang Bang I've got you babe!" | |

There are very specific allusions in the song, but I cannot remember what they all mean. I thought that 7 refers to seven deadly sins "All 7 and we'll watch them fall, they stand in the way of love and we will smoke them all" Also there's that count of seven in the middle of I wanna Melt with you (Also "I got 7 hours baby"), as the song is about temptation. I love in the video how the Prince with the chains on his face gets smoked, as I always though My Name is Prince was a ridiculous song. That made the whole album make more sense to me.
