Frank Ocean (Feat. Tyler the Creator) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Hey hey) exactly what you run from, you end up chasing
(Say it, say it) like, you can't avoid, but
(Hey hey) just chasing it and just like trying (say it, say it)
Giving it everything that you can, there's always an obstacle




Overall Meaning

These lyrics from the song "End" by Frank Ocean featuring Tyler the Creator discuss the idea of running from things in life, only to end up chasing them in one way or another. The repetition of "hey hey" and "say it, say it" adds a sense of urgency to the message being conveyed. The first line suggests that sometimes we try to avoid certain things or aspects of our lives, but end up being drawn to them regardless. The second line implies that while we can't always avoid these things, we continue to chase after them anyway. The repetition of "say it, say it" emphasizes the idea that this is something important that needs to be acknowledged.


The third line, "just chasing it and just like trying," further emphasizes the idea of pursuit and effort. The final line, "giving it everything that you can, there's always an obstacle," suggests that even when we put in our best efforts, there are always going to be challenges or hindrances in our way. Overall, the lyrics speak to the futile nature of trying to avoid certain things in life and the idea that pursuing them can be equally challenging.
