Influential Lyric

The song Ivy by Frank Ocean is a musical masterpiece. Ivy is a perfect example of falling in love and falling out of love. I feel like Ivy is one of the most beautiful songs ever. I love Frank's ocean voice in this song as well it is very calm and so lovely.

Lyric Analysis

From the lyrics, I think Ivy means that the relationship that he was in they are falling in love but they are slowly losing feelings they know that they are losing feelings but say nothing and they break up and they are both in pain after the breakup but deep down they still have a little love for each other.

"We both know that deep down
The feeling still deep down is good

"We didn't give a fuck back then
I ain't a kid no more
We'll never be those kids again
We'd drive to Syd's, had the back then
Back then"

(I put this lyric because you know have you are a kid you have no worries it is like in a relationship when you are in love everything is good and you have no worries and when he says I ain't no kid no more when you grow up you have worries you have more stuff to do and more responsibility in the relationship they fall out of love and they have worries they don't love each as much and don't know how to say. )

To sum it up the song is about falling in love and falling out of love.
