Prince apparently looks at purple as more than a color or symbol of royalty, but as a sign of divinity and salvation: i.e purpose. In this fashion, the "purple banana" in combination with all the other lyrics of the song is his metaphorical quest for a higher purpose in life. The song seems to focus on life's imperfection as an absolute, and how he will not let that deter his quest for verve and optimism.
If Prince (or individuals in his audience) were to go crazy looking for life's meaning, it is an acceptable and dignified end to be taken away to a mental institution. The only other option is being defeated by a cynical complacency. This song is a call to action by a spiritual leader to awaken his faithful.
Don't let the elevator take you down, chose a higher floor!
