Frank Ocean – Pink Matter lyrics

My interpretation of pink matter is the narrator battling his own self-conscious. He's stuck in his thoughts, pondering over many things in this song, firstly he's questioning the importance of the brain, wondering if it's really important at all, or if it's solely a protection for our minds. Then he is questioning the importance of a woman, wondering if her purpose is solely to procreate and give him pleasure, and not to love her. He then wonders if human beings are being watched by aliens, our lives simply entertainment for those beyond us. When he refers to "sensei", he is talking to himself, answering his own questions, rather, fighting logic over pleasure. He says he and sensei sparred until the both grew tired, which means that he fought with his conscious until temptation or pleasure won, causing him to ignore logic and use the woman for pleasure, versus loving her. He keeps her around solely for his benefit, because she is of no importance to him outside of pleasuring him. When andre comes in, he's basically missing a woman that let go because he knew that he could not be what she wanted from him, not could he give her all of his time because of his profession. He does not want to hold her back and put her feelings into him, because he knew that he could not do the same. His part of the song contrasts with frank's, for he chooses matter over pleasure. He prefers women with curves, like most southern women, not models with shallow minds and no depth. He basically describes this woman as someone of a great conversation, heart, as well as body. Towards the end of the song, to sum it up, you're good at being bad, bad at being good, meaning women are good for some reasons, and bad for others, pleasure and matter have their pros and cons, etc. It's an amazing piece. One of my favorites.

In the song "pink matter" by frank ocean, tells a story of a man who is taking full notice to how beautiful woman are, calling woman cotton candy, soft and pink, meanwhile he expains this while unseemingly being funny towards a woman taken for granted by a man who only wants her for show or kids, based on stereotypes and fears. The story comes to the man being with this woman and having kids with her. , explaining that although she is not "the purple matter", he still chooses pleasure over matter. No one wins but "nothing matters".
