We're all trying to drown ourselves in absinthe (known to cause hallucinations, but it's a myth) and sex and violence and fancy motorcycles and champagne and fancy jazz music and money but we're all still longing for more. I don't think the video throws all those odd spiritual and surreal images into the song by accident. The second is a sense of trying to regain a sense of the sacred and mystical in the modern world. This meaning is really well explored in rap genius so I'll leave it at that. One is a lament and call to action about the fall of Africans from being the pharaohs and queens of the ancient world to being little more than slaves and strippers and pimps in the modern world. General CommentI see at least two possible double meanings and interpretations, both seem to have been touched on. The way you say my name makes me feel like You're wet and you're warm just like our bathwater You showed up after work I'm bathing your body

Frank paints his mind-state clearly through the random twists and changes of the video, which the audience may perceive as the turmoil he is currently going through struggling with himself or others around – an amazing piece of art.įor me, personally, I take a walk every evening listening to this track and imagine myself on the runway in a sleek number as the one in the image above, and six-inch heels taking a catwalk on the runway designed specifically in an Egyptian pyramid.

The thought process going through his mind is completely unbelievable.Įven if, as some may believe, it has some type of occult connection, it still remains a beautiful and heavenly expression of how confused and deluded the mind can get in these complicated times we are living in.įrank Ocean is the ultimate definition of the ‘new age renaissance’ we believe, according to Leo, is taking place at the moment. This is one amazing, classic and timeless song – even deeper than the other ones I have written about on this blog.
