"Swim Good" is a song off of Frank Oceans mixtape, Nostalgia, Ultra. The song was released back in February of 2011 but it's a song I was just recently introduced to by a friend of mine. From what I can see, the song is a sort of personal thought from Ocean himself, talking about how he is ready to "swim into the ocean" and basically cleanse himself of his past heartbreaks, both those that he has gone through and those he has caused to other people, in order to hopefully find piece of mind and eventually find happiness again. The lyrics and music video to the song make it seem like he is having suicidal thoughts about basically driving himself into the ocean and in doing so, ending his life. However, I think this is just a way of him saying he wants to get rid of his past and start a new life free of all the pain and suffering which is making him feel guilty about things he's done in his past and bad choices he has made. Overall, I'm not too crazy about the song and I definitely don't like the music video made for the song...what's up with the guy with that weird mask eating popcorn at the beginning??? Weirdddddd....
I personally like this version better than the original =)
