'Forrest Gump'

It's hard to know what to make of 'Forrest Gump'. Presenting Ocean's memories of a boy he once knew, with sweetly strummed guitar and skipping rope lilt shunted against Ocean's desirous vocals the impression you get is of adolescent love and, well, of chances missed. There's a homoerotic undertone to lyrics like "Forest, I'm nervous" or "You're running on my mind boy," while smuggled in between references to the titular simpleton there's something remarkably sexual about the line "my fingertips and my lips are burning, on this cigarette" That said: "You're so buff and strong" suggests a bit of tongue-in-cheek prank-playing. We'll never know. In the coda Ocean whistles cutely as he retreats into the sunset, secrets safely stored.
