Cover art for Sweet Life lyrics by Frank Ocean

I don't think there's a particular meaning to this song. I think he's just painting a particular aspect of the SoCal life. That being said, I do play around with two interpretations.

If there were a meaning, I'd say sometimes people are just complacent with where they are in life. I mean what about people in the world who have never really visited anywhere outside of where they live. Some stay because they arent capable of leaving, and some stay simply because they "found their beach."

Or it could be a backhanded compliment. Yeah. "Why see the world when you've got the beach?" Why, when you have all this money, easily accessible means of transportation, no ties, what feels like unlimited money, and no responsibilities. Why? When you can live it up and party in SoCal and get super fucked up. You've got "the beach." The life everybody wants. The life people sing and make movies about. And guess what? It ain't like it seems. In reality, you Wake up on your Saturday earlier than expected with a raging headache and a Xanax to calm yourself.
