FRANK OCEAN

- Pyramids Lyrics

set the cheetahs on the looose
there's a thief out on the move
underneath our legion's view
they have taken cleopatra
run run run come back for my glory
bring her back to me
run run run the crown of our pharaoh
the throne of our queen is empty

and we'll run to the future
shining like diamonds in a rocky world
a rocky, rocky world
our skin like bronze and our hair like cashmere
as we march to the rhthym
on the palace floor
chandeliers inside the pyramid
tremble from the force
cymbals crash inside the pyramid
voices fill up the halls

set the cheetahs on the looose
theres a thief out on the move
underneath our legions view
they have taken cleopatra

the jewel of africa
what good is a jewel that ain't still precious
how could you run off on me?
how could you run off on us?
you feel like god inside that gold
i found you laying down with samson
and his full head of hair
found my black queen cleopatra
bad dreams cleopatra

remove her
send the cheetahs to the tomb
our war is over our queen has met her doom
no more she lives no more serpent in her room
no more it has killed cleopatra

big sun coming strong through the motel blinds
wake up to your girl for now let's call her cleopatra
i watch you fix your hair
then put your panties on in the mirror, cleopatra
then your lipstick, cleopatra
then your six inch heels
catch her
she's headed to the pyramid

shes working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight

pimping in my convos
bubbles in my champagne
let it be some jazz playing
top floor motel suite twisting my cigars
floor model tv with the vcr
got rubies in my damn chain
whip ain't got no gas tank
but it still got woodgrain
got your girl working for me
hit the strip and my bills paid
that keep my bills paid
hit the strip and my bills paid
keep a nigga bills paid
she's working at the pyramid tonight

working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid

you showed up after work i'm bathing your body
touch you in places only i know
you're wet and you're warm just like our bathwater
can we make love before you go
the way you say my name makes me feel like
i'm that nigga
but i'm still unemployed
you say it's big but you take it
ride cowgirl
but your love ain't free no more
but your love ain't free no more

she's working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid

What is the meaning behind Pyramids lyrics?


When we think about the meaning behind each verse, Frank Ocean’s 'Pyramids' is essentially a story that merges golden Egyptian symbols with modern-day dilemmas and relationships. Cleopatra stands for power, beauty, and being unfaithful at the same time, whereas the pyramid is seen as both a luxury nightclub and an employees’ den reflecting people’s vices and the difficulties of love and sex in a world that is still transforming. Pyramids lyrics highlight love, heartbreak, despair, empowerment, and nostalgia most of the time. Also, the song mentions the contradiction of loss and longing, empowerment, and identity, as well as struggle and survival. The lyrics are very much adult material since they include references to sexual activity and suggestive language and thus the listener's age should be at least 17 years or parental guidance is required.
