@MrKenndawg "Upload, the evolution principal You see a rock on the shore and say it's always been there" Download,no responsibility Do what you want nobody cares"......A direct rejection of the atheist idea. "The one in power makes law under which the colonized fall But without God it's just the blind leading the blind"....the solution,being led by God the only way to fix every problem. Those two verses are why this song was written. This video conveys something else entirely.

@chestveeg yes...speaking to a specific audience...multilayered message...Prince at his best.

[chestveeg]

The video completely misses what the song is about. It's more about the planet as a whole being like a giant beehive. Cause and effect , Satan and sins effect on the world as a whole without mankind following Jesus Christ we are all lost. The race thing is such a small part of the bigger meaning of the song.

@chestveeg thanks for your comments...the best part about art is everyone sees something different..luv and light to you.

[MrKenndawg]

@chestveeg Are you acknowledging that one's view of an art is right or wrong...misinterpeted by one's own experience's??

Who's really missing the point here:) PEACE!

@MrKenndawg there is no absolute...its all relative.

all of ur opinions were just that. If u ask 10 people 2 watch the same tv show then explain it, u will get basically the same 10 responses. If u give 10 people the same book 2 read, and tell them 2 explain, u will get 10 different responses, because they interpreted it differently. This song is deep, yes, and it has multiple (as far as the public is concerned) meanings.... I cannot divulge, sorry. So continue 2 enjoy, and see a show, when it comes 2 ur town.peace and. welcome 2 the dawn.

@chestveeg

Thats why i said it's the beauty of the song, Ultimately there is "One Truth" in this case he is the only person who knows the true meaning behind his words. All me and you can do is give our interpretation of what it might mean, :)

Who is the 1 person that decided to down-vote this song? get him here so i could spank him.

[chestveeg]

@bogueji1 What's happening in the video is a symptom of what Prince is singing about however the video trivializes the over all message of the lyrics ,because it sucks a person into a false sense of the over all point. In my humble opinion. Lots of things can be interpreted in different ways but ultimately there is one truth. What is the over all truth of the song?

@chestveeg

Its a message that can be translated in many ways, that's it's beauty.

@hempmomma You say that as if this is your music. I think Prince would disagree. Thank you Prince for creating this beautiful art. I bought the album and enjoy this song thanks to Prince. You should be thanking Prince.

[MrKenndawg]

@chestveeg ...if you look, you're sure gonna find...throughout mankind's history=a colonized mind. One in power makes law...underwhich colonized fall; without God, it's just the blind leadin' tha blind!! (thus, the video...and thus, the meaning of the Artist's messasge)....i think:)?

@chestveeg prince is a jehovah's witness. they don't believe jesus was god, or in the idea of the trinity.
