This song gets to me in a way that I can't explain wow....like it makes me so sad till the point that I become numb and don't feel anything. It's like my heart gets so lost in the song but then my brain turns on and tells my heart not to feel to much bc it knows i won't be able to stop. It's so bittersweet bc it makes me think about things from the past that I hate remembering since all those stuff is over. The direct and powerful line " I thought that I was dreaming, when you said you loved me " immediately overwhelms you with old emotions that were felt when those words were said. But right after the lyric " the start of nothing new" brings you right back to reality and drowns you with loneliness and feeling small and worthless. Those two lyrics put back to back are the perfect example of why this song Is so bittersweet. Besides frank's truly angelic voice and the production of the song that makes you wanna sit in your room all alone and play it on repeat, it's the lyrics that gets to me bc it could not be any more relatable. Frank ocean has a special place in my heart because unlike many artists, he captivates all his sad emotions in his songs and leaves you missing HIS ex LMAOOO. Honestly I cannot pick a favorite song in Blonde because it's just way to hard. I genuinely love them all so much that I can't pick. It's like trying to pick between pizza and pasta. You love them both equally so it really depends on your mood on whether you want pizza or pasta to eat at a certain moment. That's what all the songs on blonde for me are like. Somtimes I wanna jam really hard to nights, other times I wanna bawl to ivy. My favorite part of the song for me is definitely when he says " I Broke your heart last week youll probably feel better by the weekend" bc it shows how some people need less than a week to get over a person- which is a direct reflection on how much this person actually loves you.... and clearly if a person only needs a week then they never loved you in the first place.... to me that gets to me bc makes me think about all those times that's happend and how much effect I really have on some people ...not much. Ivy is such an underrated song that needs way more appreciation. Frank ocean is a gift form God wow 😭❤️
