Pilot Jones
Frank Ocean Lyrics
We once had things in common
Now the only thing we share is the refrigerator
Ice cold, baby, I told you, I'm ice cold (ice cold!)
You out here flyin' high (high!)
Go head, fly that thing!
High! High!
But fly alone
You always smokin' in the house
What if my mother comes over?
Cause this little hustle's getting you by
You're the dealer and the stoner with the sweetest kiss around
I know what I was on, I had a Pilot Jones
She took me high, then she took me home
Pilot Jones, Pilot Jones
Tonight she came stumblin' across my lawn again
I just don't know why I keep on tryin' to keep a grown woman sober
See there you go reachin' up your blouse and no I don't want a child
But I ain't been touched in a while by the dealer
And the stoner with the sweetest kiss I've ever known
I know what I was on, I had a Pilot Jones
She took me high, then she took me home
Pilot Jones, Pilot Jones
In the sky up above, the birds
I saw the sky like I never seen before
You thought I was above you
Above this in so many ways
But if I got a condo on a cloud
Then I guess you can stay at my place
Ooh I'ma get one
I need ya
Admit it
You're my Pilot Jones

On "Pilot Jones", Ocean discusses the topic of first love and compares it with a drug by using the double entendre Pilot Jones. This is because a pilot is one who drives or steers, likening how lovers are “jonesing” or craving each other to a pilot that is driving them toward each other. Alternatively, a pilot episode is the first in any line of a TV series, hinting at this being a first love. Further adding to this extended metaphor is that the first love he discusses in the song may or may not smoke frequently Read Full BioOn "Pilot Jones", Ocean discusses the topic of first love and compares it with a drug by using the double entendre Pilot Jones. This is because a pilot is one who drives or steers, likening how lovers are “jonesing” or craving each other to a pilot that is driving them toward each other. Alternatively, a pilot episode is the first in any line of a TV series, hinting at this being a first love. Further adding to this extended metaphor is that the first love he discusses in the song may or may not smoke frequently, so he could be using drugs as an easy comparison to the love that they share.
"It’s really interesting that he uses seed ideas or tools to write that really don’t have anything to do with the song. It’s just a way for him to access himself, and then the song comes out, and then the track is built around what he writes."
Rick Rubin in conversation with Jeff Himmelman.
"I was like, ‘I gotta get this song out.’ I always knew the track would have to change."
