Soak in the album cover. The color purple is associated with a variety of meanings, including wisdom, creativity, royalty, power, ambition, and luxury. It can also represent magic, extravagance, peace, pride, independence, and wealth. The shades are much lighter however, and the deep colors seem to be faded. For me, this represents how much of our daily lives hang in the balance, and how we do our best to deal with grief, loss, and the mundane. We swallow hard, cry at times, and push through.
