Bad Religion
Frank Ocean Lyrics

I guess it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion, ooh
This unrequited love
To me, it's nothin' but a one-man cult
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I can never make 'em love me
Never make 'em love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love

Taxi driver
I swear I've got three lives
Balanced on my head like steak knives
I can't tell you the truth about my disguise
I can't trust no one

And you say, "Allahu akbar"
I told him, "Don't curse me"
"Bo Bo, you need prayer"
I guess it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion
Oh, unrequited love
To me, it's nothin' but a one-man cult
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I can never make them love me
Never make 'em love me
No, no, ah

It's a, it's a bad religion
To be in love with someone
Who could never love you
Oh, only bad, only bad religion
Could have me feeling the way I do

Read Full BioFrank Ocean (born October 28, 1987) is an American singer/songwriter and member of the gleefully-hedonistic hip-hop collective OFWGKTA. He was born Christopher Edwin Cooksey (later legally changed to Breaux) in Long Beach, California, and moved to New Orleans with his family as a young child. He has helped pen tracks for Justin Bieber, John Legend, Brandy, and Beyoncé. In 2011, Ocean released his debut mixtape, Nostalgia, Ultra, for free via his Tumblr.

After high school, Ocean enrolled in the University of New Orleans to study English. However, he had to suspend his studies due to Hurricane Katrina and its devastating effects that took place in the summer of 2005. His home and personal recording facility were destroyed, and after briefly studying at another college, he dropped out and moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue a music career. Ocean joined Los Angeles-based collective OFWGKTA, whose members he met through mutual friends, in 2009. At the end of 2009, he met Tricky Stewart, who helped Ocean sign a contract with Def Jam Recordings as an artist; however, he was initially unable to build a successful relationship with the company. In an April 2011 interview, Ocean intimated that his relationship with Def Jam had strengthened since the release of his mixtape.

On April 28, 2011, Ocean was arrested on unspecified charges by the LAPD, and was released on the morning after on April 29, 2011. Ocean joined his OFWGKTA bandmates for the first time on tour from May 12 to May 19, 2011. On May 31, 2011, Def Jam released the single Novacane on iTunes soon followed by Swim Good Taken from his mixtape Nostalgia, ULTRA. Ocean's first "proper" album, Channel Orange was released on July 17, 2012. On April 23, 2015, he legally changed his name to "Frank Ocean" after attempting to do so a few times in the previous several years.

In 2016, he released the visual album Endless alongside his second studio album Blonde, following several years of delays. "Blonde" debuted at number one in the United States and the United Kingdom.

In 2017, Ocean released several singles, including "Chanel" and "Lens" through his Blonded Radio show, and made several appearances on other songs by artists like Calvin Harris, A$AP Mob, and Tyler, the Creator. The next year, he released his cover of "Moon River", a popular 1960s song from the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's". At the end of 2019, he released two more singles: "DHL" and "In My Room". At the beginning of April 2020, "Dear April" and "Cayendo" were released, the latter's title translating to "Falling" in English.

@Bryan Noah there’s nothing gross about that. He simply stating that the girl that he would really love to be with happens to be gay so he knows it probably won’t happen it breaks his heart. And I’m very sorry for you that you have to go through that Joshua and ignore any ignorant comments that don’t understand what you are saying and what you’re going through. One day maybe she’ll realize you are the one for her you never know stranger things have happened. But bottom line is you will find the person that you are meant to be with and that will make you happier than you’ve ever been so just give it time and day by day things will get better in one day you’ll realize maybe it wasn’t meant to be. Hopefully it doesn’t hurt too much to be friends so that you guys can remain friends but if it does hurt you too much maybe it would be better to tell her that for the time being some space would be good because it hurts too much because you care too much about her in a different way that you know you may never have her. And then maybe once you find someone you could be happy with then you guys can continue our friendship but hopefully you can CV on that and continue our friendship anyway and then someday maybe when she sees you happy with someone else she’ll realize that she missed out and then it may be too late but either way just stay strong man and your day will come I promise you! Much love! ❤️ and again to Joshua don’t judge him he has the right to comment and the right to be heartbroken just because he’s heterosexual doesn’t mean he can’t be heartbroken over a girl that’s gay that he can’t have so maybe it’s not the exact situation but I totally understand what he’s getting at and don’t knock him for commenting and putting his feelings out there .. That’s pretty low.

I have twin daughters that are now 18 and one of my daughters came to me on New Year’s Eve when she was 15 and told me that she was gay and we literally just cried and I hugged her and told her that I loved her more than fucking life itself and her sexual preferences have no weighing on my love for her and would never ever change the way I feel or think about her. And it makes me so disgusted to think that parents would put their own beliefs above their children’s happiness it discussed me to my core and pisses me off to the point that my blood boils. My children’s happiness is my ultimate goal and even if it’s something I am absolutely and totally against unless it’s dangerous of course or self harming or anything like then I’m all for it. I’ll put aside any beliefs that I have to make sure my babies are happy to their entire life and I believe all parents should do so because that is indeed what unconditional love is. And for a parent to say no you can’t date the person that you love and that makes you happy because I’m homophobic is fucking ludicrous and it really pisses me off! Sorry just had to get that off my chest because this comment really got me heated! Annika baby I am so so very sorry you had to go through that. And maybe one day your parents will look back and think damn we should’ve done that to her and maybe she would be happier and even love and respect us more because her happiness meant the most to us and that was shown by us over coming our own beliefs and making her happiness a priority. ❤️

You need help. Imagine if I said why do gay people always have to start with I’m not straight? And ended with I hate gay people. You’d be calling me all kinds of names. Learn to love and accept other people. If something bothers you that’s fine but there is no place for hate. You give the lgbt community a bad name.

Is this song not about the unrequited love being like a bad religion? I see people saying it's about him not being able to be gay, but it sounds like he feels like he's in a "1 man cult" since it's like he is unrequitedly a 'follower/worshipper' of the person he loves

Gabriella Hanley

there’s 2 interpretations-

interpretation 1: frank is in love with another man but the love is unrequited. the man doesn’t love him back. he’s so madly in love with to the point where he’s “worshipping” him and he compares it to a religion. he calls it a one-man cult because the love is one-sided. he wants the man to fall in love with him. throughout the song, he calls it a “bad religion” because its not good for him to love that man so much, even though the man (who’s straight) doesn’t love him back.

interpretation 2: frank is apart of the lgbtq+ community and is staying closeted because he’s afraid it goes against his religious morals. in this case, the “unrequited love” is towards god himself. he loves god, but he’s afraid that god doesn’t love him back because of his sexuality. the line in the song “i cant tell you the truth about my disguise” shows that he’s attempting to hide himself and his sexuality because he’s apart of a religion that likely forbids it. he feels as if god doesn’t love him for being gay. at the end of the song, he acknowledges that he still loves god very much, but he can’t be apart of a religion that doesn’t accept him for who he is. hence the name “bad religion.”

It's a clever line. He says "don't curse me" but then he reveals he knows it means something positive when he says it couldn't hurt to hear that a higher power has his back

It's a, it's a bad religion
To be in love with someone
Who could never love you
Only bad, only bad religion

Mallak Playz the only reason he says “allahu Akbar” is because the taxi driver is supposed to be of foreign descent as most taxi drivers are he was trying to place a setting. No one is trying to call the religion less than. It’s a metaphor to people who use religion to treat people who are different badly. We understand that’s not all people and I’m sure he meant no disrespect considering it was about all religions

Kenzieee

Mallak Playz he is also using it as a metaphor for unrequited love. Hence why he says “I can never make him love me” he’s talking about god and unrequited love bringing him to his knees. He feels he’ll never meet the expectations of a god that can’t love him for who he is

Kenzieee

Mallak Playz people often mistake it as Islamaphobic for that one line but the only reason the driver says that is because he doesn’t know a better way to help him and his first world problems that’s why he says “bo bo you need prayer” he says don’t curse me because he thinks the driver is telling him he needs god because of his sexuality when in reality he is just trying to help him. That’s why frank responds with “I guess it couldn’t hurt me”

Mallak Playz

Only good religion you don’t know nothing about to and allahu akbar means god is greatest ndjddnjedn

Exactly, People too quick to jump on shit they think they really lnwo

ghost

@Mallak Playz I mean, if that's what it's about, he knows most religions don't like bi/homosexuals, which he is, so I think he knows enough to call it bad

Mallak Playz

s r yeah but he does t have to call it a bad religion when you know nothing about it

I always interpreted this song about his relationship with God and religion. He feels like his love with God is unrequited

Taxi driver
Be my shrink for the hour
Leave the meter running
It's rush hour
So take the streets if you wanna
Just outrun the demons, could you?
He said, "Allahu akbar"
I told him, "Don't curse me"
"Bo Bo, you need prayer"
I guess it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion, ooh
This unrequited love
To me, it's nothin' but a one-man cult
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I can never make 'em love me
Never make 'em love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love
Taxi driver
I swear I've got three lives
Balanced on my head like steak knives
I can't tell you the truth about my disguise
I can't trust no one

And you say, "Allahu akbar"
I told him, "Don't curse me"
"Bo Bo, you need prayer"
I guess it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion
Oh, unrequited love
To me, it's nothin' but a one-man cult
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I can never make them love me
Never make 'em love me
No, no, ah
It's a, it's a bad religion
To be in love with someone
Who could never love you
Oh, only bad, only bad religion
Could have me feeling the way I do
