"The Medication U Were Given Has Put U in Suspended Animation"

ART OFFICIAL AGE

ARTIFICAL CAGE

"Mr. Nelson...?

Mr. Nelson, can u hear my voice...?

"We just want to let U know, the medication U Were Given Has Put U in Suspended Animation 4 quite some time...

Well, in fact : about FOURTY-FIVE YEARS...."

"I did try, once, to play guitar, with flat shoes on - and it was like Samson without his hair..."

Prince does not count birthdays - but he was legally 57 when he died.

He was therefore 56 when he wrote, and released these words.

He told Mel C that he had entered the music industry (and presumably put on Cuban heels) at the age of 12.or 1970 to put a (worldly) days on it.

56 - 45 = 11.

45 years before September 2014 was 1969, almost 1970.

Prince has been creating art (and consequently in pain, due to the heels) since 1970, for over 45 years now.

Latoya Jackson insists that it is absolutely impossible to inject yourself with a syringe and self-administer the knock-out dose of propofol Dr. Conrad Murray was convicted of administering to Michael Jackson, which is generally given by an anaesthesiologist as the first shot to induce deep (but extremely brief hypnotic-unconsciousness : 

She says (speaking for Michael and his family) :

"That's absolutely not true, because that is physically impossible, my brother was murdered (on the order of Others, who I will not name) and this is a Conspiracy."

Grrr! I'm going to get to the bottom of this!!"

 **shakes fist**

And then nothing came of it, because that's only a story.

And it is clearly, demonstrably not true.
It's perfectly physically possible, and here is a video of a guy doing it.

But Latoya want to tell you, because Michael wants you to know

"That's physically impossible and so therefore, this is a Conspiracy."

Which it actually is, really, when you think about it, only not in the way she  means - its a JW Conspiracy of How To Disappear Completely and Never Be Found.

So, what does this mean :

O(+>-ology :

The Main Schools of Lyrical Analysis

The Fundamentalist Literalist : 

It means : "We just want to let U know, the medication U Were Given Has Put U in Suspended Animation 4 quite some time...

Well, in fact : about FOURTY-FIVE YEARS...."

The Anglican-Episcopalian : 

It does NOT MEAN "We just want to let U know, the medication U Were Given Has Put U in Suspended Animation 4 quite some time...

Well, in fact : about FOURTY-FIVE YEARS...."

It actually means something different, but not that.

The Preist : 

"My son, in our faith, we not only have the lyrics, we have our dogma, by the grace of God, we have the commentaries and dissertations written by all of the wise and venerable Saints, Martyrs, Blessed and ordinary clergy to aid in our understand of Prince's true meaning with this lyric - I would suggest that you consult the following essay to gain a more complete and detailed understanding of the true meaning of this particular  lyric.... " 

The Talmudic Scholar : 

"Eh, it may mean this, but it could also mean that, or possibly both of those things at once. 

Possibly something else entirely. 

If it still does seem to make sense, that just means that somebody screwed up somewhere, in which case I wouldn't bother worrying about it too much."

The Freudian : 

"It is about sex. 

It is always about sex. 

This lyric is about how Prince wanted to have sex with his mother and kill his father, but was afraid of him and beat him and so became repressed, but perfectly sublimated his unconscious fantasy desire to have sex with his mother into writing the lyrics. To Sister.

I think you could probably benefit from a lot more of these sessions, say perhaps on a twice-weekly basis, that way I think there's an opportunity for you to really focus on working through these issues systematically, we are on the verge, I think, of making significant breakthrough, provided we work hard on these points and you can stay focused and committed to the process of moving forward. You've been doing really well these last few sessions, I feel.

You can pay as you leave - my receptionist will take care of that for you, and she has access to my appointment diary, she will be happy to help you schedule another two dozen sessions, or as many as we decide to go with for now.

We can take cash, Visa or American Express. See you next Tuesday."

The Jungian : 

"You know what it really means. 

So do I. 

So does everyone. 

You just don't necessarily know that you know it, and most people have forgotten how to access and reconnect with the source of that knowledge.

The Post-Modern :

This text means absolutely nothing other than what we tell ourself it does, according to social norms, and if it does mean anything to you (or you imagine to think it does), then that means is what Prince could not possibly have actually meant (because The Author (like God) is Dead, so how could he possibly have meant anything when writing the text?

The Nihilist :

"It means absolutely nuzzink, Libowski.

And zen, ve cutt off your Johnson."

"A CNN crew visits the Kingdom Hall of Prince the Sunday after he 'passed away'."

"We expect Brother Nelson to be resurrected here on Earth, just like the Bible says, when Jehovah cleanses this Earth of all it's evil,there'll be a resurrection and we will welcome him back - and he'll be right [here] like flesh and blood, like you and me are talking here right now.

It's a deep, deep belief that we have."
