Frank Ocean’s music shows a deep emotional meaning that touches people in so many ways. Among his brilliant songs, three show the true side of Frank as a unique artist: “Bad Religion,” a deep dive into the concept of a one-sided love and the hardships of worshipping someone that doesn’t feel the same; “Seigfried,” a song that represents self-identity and the confusion of what life actually is; and “Wiseman,” an excellent piece of art that spreads the word of wisdom when recognizing people's flaws. 

These tracks not only highlight Frank’s amazing vocal ability, but his talent for representation of many different topics under his understanding and personal experience. 

“Bad Religion” is a personal song that captures the painful hardship of loving someone to the point of worship, when they don’t feel the same, while also bringing up the struggle of identity when going through this event. In this song, he mentions “I could never make him love me,” noting the extreme torture of not receiving the same love back. However, this song can also mean several different things, whether it’s taken from a religious standpoint or not depending upon your personal point of view. That’s why this song is so beautiful and a crazy piece of art that shows different perspectives for whoever listens to it. 

“Seigfried” shares the feelings of disillusionment and confusion as he doesn’t understand the world sometimes and can’t find meaning in life. He also talks about identity and not relating to peers, to an unbearable level. “I can’t relate to my peers, I'd rather live outside.” The feeling of not fitting in and not understanding why he feels this way is a big topic in this song that further touches base to Frank's struggles as a person. 

“Wiseman” by Frank Ocean is an unreleased song that talks about the wisdom and maturity you gain when finding people's faults, and dealing with them. This song also talks about how men were looked at during a time period where they couldn’t show emotion when going through tough hardships. Originally, this song was in a soundtrack for a movie, therefore it was never released, but people went crazy over it due to the in deep lyrics like “Sad man cannot cry In place where man can see- Never witnessed father weep This old man thought it weak. But strong man don't exist No undying man exists Weak man don't exist, no Just flesh and blood exists.” The beautiful vocals Frank portrayed in this song showed the intense meaning. 

These songs represent Frank Ocean as an artist and can help us when going through hard times. These songs helped me whenever I went through similar things that Frank talked about in his songs, and it’s a beautiful thing that an artist can do that for any listeners who need a little pick-me-up.
