Frank Ocean's song White Ferrari delves into the complexities of young love and the journey to finding peace with this past love. 1. White Ferrari, had a good time (Sweet sixteen, how was I supposed to know anything?) The song starts with this lyric, immediately letting the listeners know that Frank Ocean associates the Ferrari with good times, therefore happy memories. White typically represents purity and peace, and a Ferrari represents going fast and the exhilarating aspect of going fast. White Ferrari represents the late teenage years as they are exhilarating and fast at the same time. 2. Stick by me, close by me In this part of the song, Frank Ocean sounds like he is almost begging the other person to stay close. Throughout the song, his tone shifts and he eventually becomes more okay with letting go of this person. In this part, he wants to hold onto what he care. 3. I care for you still and I will forever That was my part of the deal, honest We got so familiar Frank Ocean is almost telling the other person that he still holds up his promise. He is showing how close he got with this person. 4. Some tattooed eyelids on a facelift (thought you might want to know now) Tattooed eyelids on a facelift represents the memories that no one knows about, because they can't be seen, but are engraved in Frank Ocean because of how meaningful they were. 5. I'm sure we're taller in a Another dimension You say we're small and not worth the mention Frank Ocean is telling this person that in another world, their love would be more concrete and much grander, compared to their current love. 6. You dream of walls that hold us in prison It's just a skull, least that's what they call it And we're free to roam Frank Ocean is describing how this love kept him trapped. He is saying how his lover wanted to stay in this enclosed system, and that was trapping Frank Ocean. This enclosed system, or prison, is his mind. He is trying to make peace with this love by getting out of his head and realizing that his mind and image of this love is holding him back. In the very last line, he writes "And we're free to roam," meaning that he finally understands that he can escape this image, make peace and be free. |
