#FRANK OCEAN LOST IN THE THRILL LYRICS FULL#

Oddly enough, there’s a reward for creating through pain-one I struggle to understand. If you could do anything else, I highly recommend it. The work is alive, and it loves me back, too. I think of how much I love the work no matter how it taunts and hurts me. Hearing “ Love lost, lost? Love, love,” my mind, surprisingly, does not go to relationships. How Frank is either addressing the woman of the song, or he’s interjecting altogether to say he’s lost in love along with her. Then there is the business of the outro on “Lost,” how Frank works love into the song. Even when it hurts me, I give myself up to the craft. I mean, I write endlessly-I surrender to it. Everything and all pathless woods lead back to writing. I struggle to be present because the writing overtakes me. I write while doing the most mundane things. I write in my sleep I write in my nightmares. It goes beyond writing at the dinner table, writing in the restaurant, writing in transit.

There is no boundary strong enough to hold the work in me. So conclusively, it can even be argued that part of the reason that she is “lost” is because the singer himself does not have the wherewithal to release her from this lifestyle.As Frank covers the ground of his globetrotting lover-turned-vessel, I think of all the ways I spiral. But at the same, himself being her employer, he has developed a financial dependency on her criminal skills. So in a way, it can be said that he wants to take her out of the game.

Indeed the situation has gotten to the point where he is convinced that one day she will be selling drugs more along the lines of being a boss than an employee. In other words, she has gotten so deep into the game that now, as the title implies, he has come to notice that she is “lost” in it. Now the reason we can vaguely classify this as a love song is because the primary sentiment being expressed throughout is Frank’s concern for this lady. And in that regard he says she has been to places as diverse as Asia and Europe in order to move his product. So she’s basically involved in “cooking” and smuggling “weight” globally. But more to the point is that he has her engaged in the illicit drug trade. And the subject of the song, as in the lady he is singing about, reads as if it is a romantic interest. In this case Frank Ocean is portraying the role of a drug dealer. “Frank Ocean’s “Lost” is a love song, if you will, based on an unconventional storyline. It ended up being serviced to Mainstream Top 40 radio stations in the United States starting in February 2022. As a result, it reentered charts across the world, including the US, and the UK, and entered the charts in Canada, where it did not chart previously. In early 2022, the song went viral on TikTok, which sparked new interest in the track nearly 10 years since its original release. He believes that one day she will live a normal life away from this criminal lifestyle, but it must come after one last smuggle, which leads to another one last smuggle. His lover gets lost in the intensity of the jet-setting lifestyle of drug trafficking and subsequent money and lavish gifts that come along with it. The protagonist in the song is a drug supplier who uses his girlfriend as a drug mule.
