Comme des Garçons
Frank Ocean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had no hazel in his eyes
Had them sailors on his thighs when these ladies show him
Kept it faded on the side, he was seeing someone
He was dating on the side, he was seeing double
I was spending hula
We was spending so much time
It was getting cooler
Feel it movin'
Nigga out his mama house now, that's a power move
That's what I gotta do, for real
Shine for real
Shine for real
Feelings come, feelings go
Feelings come, feelings go
Feelings come, feelings go
Feelings come, feelings go

The lyrics to Frank Ocean's song Comme Des Garcons may seem disjointed upon first listen, but they are actually intertwined and paint a picture of a complex relationship. The opening lines describe a man who is from Dallas and has a certain appeal to women, with sailors tattooed on his thighs. The singer mentions that he was seeing someone on the side, revealing a complicated relationship between the two.
The following lines describe how the two of them were spending a lot of time together, but then things started to cool down. The singer's description of "drillin'" hints at a sexual nature to their relationship. The man from Dallas has now moved out of his mother's house, which is seen as a power move, indicating that he is taking charge of his life.
The chorus of the song repeats "feelings come, feelings go" multiple times, indicating that the singer recognizes the fleeting nature of emotions. The repetition of the words "Comme des Garcons," a fashion label known for its avant-garde designs, may reference the idea that fashion is temporary and constantly changing, much like emotions. Overall, the lyrics describe a relationship that is characterized by passion, complexity, and transience.
