I used to swim good......But then i took an arrow to the knee during a swim meet which could have won my school a nice little trophy, and the medals they were handing out looked nice and spiffy but that crap happened to me....... they never found out who did it either an arrow just soared out of the crowed and BOOM my career was over before the referee or what ever you call a person who judges swimming could ask if I was ready (preference to another good frank ocean song)
This song has nothing to do with suicide rather a genesis of some kind. This whole song is a Metaphor for letting go of the old things that held you back and cleansing yourself of those things that held you back and moving forward to better things in the future. The metaphors he uses in this song should be published in a book. And I also think when he refers to love its his love for his music and art not an actual female.
@MrCokeDose Who are you to determine whether this person's story is legit or not? How about you put up a personal story so I can call B.S. on it. Or how about you just shut your mouth all together. Thanks
Frank ocean amazing if theres anyone out there who can help me out with a couple of beats for my freestyles i would appreciate it so much keep it up Frank
I think this song speaks to us in different ways. It doesn't matter whether it's bout suicide or not-- I think we all relate to and feel this specific song by Frank Ocean bcuz I'm sure we all feel this way at point in our lives, whatever situation the song describes for us :P
city lights burn through tinted windows/ and hold a grip on tortured memories/ moving without a regard on how you controlling me/ but im still defending you/ i thought you were pretty special/ living in denial of your bacterial presence/ i should have known but whats better/ to have felt or a past riddled with questions/ ?uestlove oh how to answer/ be the judge, the jury, the heartbreaker/ the ancor to a forever sinking dark drink/ cold case we nolonger one/ but who pulled the trigger, go figure
He went to bed one night and just never woke up. Then one night I had a dream I was on a ferry in the middle of the ocean, I look out across the water and there he is with a smile on his face, waving and heard him as clear as day as he whispered to me that "everything is going to be alright."
@MrCokeDose Bullshit..that's funny. It took a lot from me to share something dear and near to my heart, that did indeed happen, to a bunch of people I do not even know...because it was all I could think about while I played this song...& for you to take the time to call it bullshit only proves how much empty space your chest cavity bears. I feel sorry for you.
@sanaatra i feel for you my brother has been dead for three years a drunk driver smashed in to us at about 50mph on the driver side killed him instantly i was in the passenger side all three of my rib where broken, my legs and left hip where broken and i had to get a plate in my skull but this song reminds me of him idk why but dont let the haters get u pissed off they have no life what so ever...
@suddendeath5223 I'm sorry for your loss too. Nothing more traumatizing then having someone you love die right in front of you. God bless you and your family.
@thizzkid126 are you fucking retarded a "ferry" is a type of boat not the fairy with the pixie dust that you still believe in. and nobody gives a fuck? haha tell that to the +300 plus people who liked it.

@wwefanatic662 I know...it's weird but really no one could understand it unless they lose someone close to them. The person may be dead, but they do find ways to let you know they're not really gone. Before he died, I didn't believe in any of this...a year ago I even had a complete stranger walk up to me in a supermarket aisle and tell me "he's watching over you." Sometimes, what seems so unreal is more real than anything you've ever known. <3
@martymonday69 --Who cares about autotune?: Singers use so many tricks now--it is like saying that no fair, some cars have turbo--we are waaaay past that. Talent is talent. It's NOT just the singing--yes many people can sing phenomenally..but they lack timing or they do not write most of their own lyrics and music. This man is the real deal--talent from the top of his head to his blessed feet--wanna take a "swim" in Frank Ocean!
@SuchAnAngel6 Well, he turns 18 next year, and 21 3 years after, obviously, and the Samoan Bording school he's at don't know what age he is allowed to return at..
Every1 Knos How Tyler, Jasper, Hodgy, n Da Othas Sound n Act In Thier Songs Which I Still Respect Dey Make Me Laugh n Dgaf Bout Any1 Doin their Own Thing Without A Problem, But Frank Brings A More Calm, Graceful, n Lyrical Style 2 Odd Future, Being Da Only Singer In The Group Not Only Shows How Much Of A Good Artist He Is, But Makes Him Stand Out From Da Rest Makin OF That Much More Of A REAL Music Group
