Fuck man, I rlly thought first time is the charm, I rlly loved her, still do, she loved me first, we fell in love, everybody knew it, i have never felt as happy as from Dec 1 2023-Mar 18 2024, but the first ripple in my mental decline was stopping my friend from khs, she hated me, we never saw her again, AND all that happened on Feb 14th, then my gf broke up with me the week b4 we go on break, that week was shitty, spring break was shitty, and April, i was torn down, bc I was the therapist friend, and everyone was dumping on me while i was low af, i had self harm thoughts (almost suicidal but never got there), with all my friends breaking up, IN BETWEEN MY 2 FRIEND GROUPS, THEY HATED EACHOTHER, and bc i was middle groud i was told everything and was asked for advice, EVEN THO I WAS IN PAIN, April was the worst month of my life mentally, it has been a rollercoaster since, I almost drowned my self, got better, still mentally down but not at self harm level, I still miss her, I miss how everything was back in January, and to top it off, im only 13, so who knows how fucked up it gets from here, but I love Frank Ocean, and Kid Cudi for getting me through tough times.

The part when he says, "I'll do anything for you" and the background voice saying "In the dark" really hit me hard. Like, when I think about someone that I loved or a lost relationship, I really would've done anything for them, but only somewhere the both of us could be. Like how Frank said, I'd do anything for them but only in the dark. I loved them so much, but much like him, I wasn't really the type of person to express themselves.

[@ninomiletic7860]

"ill do anything for you" always hits hard because when you feel that way for someone and it isn't appreciated or reciprocated it breaks you .

I think it has 2 meanings. (1) He would do anything for that person, even when he cant see why or what he does. He would give everything for that person. But (2) only in the dark, because he or they are ashamed, or its a forbidden love, or something like that.

[@Autisticduck54]

Earlier I had the idea to listen to Frank and read the comments on KZbin and this is the best idea I’ve had in a while. For one I can just comment my feelings and put out how I feel, and I love this. I’ve been missing her for a while every time I text her she responds so dryly. It kills me, she doesn’t enjoy my company anymore. She was the only person who was there for me. She truly cared. She told me she wasn’t going to leave and she’s leaving me. I can’t do anything about it either I try to talk with her, or ask her what’s wrong she responded to me with “stop worrying about me” that really killed me. I didn’t know what to say I sat there,staring at the message, wondering how to respond. Ultimately I decide to respond telling her no matter what I will always care for her. Because honestly if nobody else cares about her I will. I won’t keep it secretive I’ll make it known that I do. She deserves the world, as much as I wish she wouldn’t leave I can’t do anything about it. I don’t want to bother her because she’s going to like me less too. I just wish she wouldn’t leave.

Dated the love of my life a while back and it unfortunately came to an end almost a year ago. I used to fall asleep to this song every night, just thinking about her. It was the most heartbreaking break up I've had. I still think about it to this day. Now I joined the military and am 2,000 miles from home. It's so funny how a song can take you back to a time that feels like just a dream.

[@whisperhugs]

I met this girl at school i got really close to her and we became best friends she found out she was moving schools after the school year ended. Sadly the school year ended we spent as much time as we could. I felt so drained that i couldnt see her ever again so i stopped being friends with her i tried to reach out to her and she told my friends to tell me to stop trying to reach out to her. I regret for letting myself do that. I found out about frank ocean and this song i often find myself crying to this song and thinking about her i miss her so much but i cant get her back.

[@abstractsraw373]

I'm currently listening to this with whom i believe is the love of my life. currently its emotional - this album doesnt help it make it less intense. I LOVE HER TO DEATH. I'm scared coz right now it feels like this is it ... maybe until next time, thats me hoping there is a next time. i dont want to lose her. as a friend , or romantic partner. I just want to experience my lifetime with her. I hope this isnt the end. i hope we figure it out. i hope we stay together. I hope blonde isnt the sad album I'll listen to to remind me of what i used to have. i hope we listen to this album together forever with each other and theres no sad ending , or end. lol i hope we remain endless . i love her !

Never thought there be such a creative way to express the agony of his not wanting to live as outside of how he actually feels inside. we all know his sexual preference. but to creatively put this in a song is amazing. he didn't want to settle living a so called heterosexual life (I'm not brave). living and not able to express what he really feels that was hell, and he'd (I'd rather go to jail). since the norm is for a man to have kids and a nice house, he said (maybe ima fool to settle for some nice views), he can't see himself living a life that most men live, ( another mans mind).... he shows his vulnerability, and his weakness by yelling (I'M NOT BRAVE!) and not willing to live any other way than how he really feels. this song relates to any one feeling trapped. I'm a heterosexual man and identifies with not wanting to ever settle.

I admire ppl who actually listen to and comment on heartfelt lyrics instead of just “wow omg this song is a mood” type comments with irrelevant interpretations. Don’t get me wrong, I listened to this song when a relationship I had was over for good, and mood-wise it was my release, but I knew lyrically it didn’t apply exactly. I always feel it’s important to give songwriters their respect in their writing, to separate from the fakers who just string words together and expect their celebrity to carry them.

Me and my ex did mushrooms and listened to this entire album. I was leaking water the whole time, slowly crying. When a teardrop touched my tongue I could taste the universe, an expanse of openness. When this song hit, we were staring into each other’s eyes, pupils dilating back and forth as we spoke through them. He began shaking his head. And we both knew that what we had would not last. And when morning came and I asked him what he was thinking, we both denied what we’d thought. But it was so clear. And now we’re no more. Forever thankful he showed me Frank Ocean.

[@JvilleNC]

LindoSniping Are you sure about that? Cause what confused me is she was the aggressor. she was coming after me more than her. And it wasn't that I wasn't attracted to her. She was stunning. But I've been hurt by women so many times I have a huge wall up. And I told her that. Yet she swore up and down that i was the "one" Then once i started to let my wall down and let her in. Since acted exactly how i was afraid she would. And u know the fucked up part about it. I helped her get out of a 6 year abusive relationship she had with her daughter's father. And showed her she could make it without him. Got her to go back to school to get her G.E.D. Bought her a cap and gown cause everyone deserves one no matter when they graduated. all the while I had a very sick mother and was taking care of her everyday. And my own kid to take care of. Anyways. My mother couldn't fight anymore and died last year. And this girl left me 2 months after that. All because I was grieving pretty much and still am. So I was all messed up from her dying. My mom was my everything. My ex said flat out I just wanted her around as a security blanket. Really? after being there for u in all those ways. When i need you, u make a comment like that? Sorry for the novel. I don't write on KZbin barely at all. especially not this long.

I've listened to this song a million times already but I just understood how complex, deep and beautiful it is, you can't really point what are you listening to, there isn't any musical instrument in particular that you can hear, everybody can describe it differently, you also don't have a music video, for me seigfried is a blank space, an empty canvas that you can draw on everytime you listen to, you can spill your emotions on this canvas, you can listen to it whenever your sad, happy, it's neutral. It's always there for you. You can play it in the background and let yourself shift through your thoughts and emotions, it has such an unique vibe, I can listen to it another million times and it's still going to sound fresh to me.

[@mr_monroe_8818]

Perfect description

[@MFOMEGA]

I think he opted out of the Grammys

[@alicialicialicialicia]

I recall Frank chose not to submit Blonde for Grammy consideration because he doesn’t agree with the whole system and how it favors white artists-for example, Macklemore’s The Heist beating Kendrick’s GKMC or Mumford & Son’s Babel beating our very own Frank’s Channel Orange, when most people would agree that GKMC and Channel Orange were better (nothing against Macklemore & Mumford and Sons, I for one rlly like their albums too, it’s just that Kendrick and Frank really earned the Grammys from an audience AND critic standpoint). I honestly applaud Frank so much for this. Other artists have done the same over the past years, and it is incredibly commendable and respectable that they do not submit their tracks in protest of the racist Grammy system. I hope one day the Grammys will change and great artists will not have to opt out or be ripped off of a win just because they aren’t white. I totally agree though. Blonde deserves all the praise in the world.

I had never listened to Blonde in it's entirely due to school and other personal life things and since the pandemic shut down a lot of things I had more time to listen to albums I never could and this album was one of them. Skip past all of the other songs and seigfried plays and I remember I'm sitting on a chair across from where my brothers are sleeping and the room is dark and quiet and the song just plays and from beginning to end everything just felt so peaceful in its own way. The entire blonde album is amazing but this song specifically just brings me back to that time. Idk if anyone is gonna read this whole thing but if you did then thanks.
