So conclusively, it can even be argued that part of the reason that she is “lost” is because the singer himself does not have the wherewithal to release her from this lifestyle. Now the reason we can vaguely classify this as a love song is because the primary sentiment being expressed throughout is Frank’s concern for this lady. In other words, she has gotten so deep into the game that now, as the title implies, he has come to notice that she is “lost” in it. Indeed the situation has gotten to the point where he is convinced that one day she will be selling drugs more along the lines of being a boss than an employee. So in a way, it can be said that he wants to take her out of the game. But at the same, himself being her employer, he has developed a financial dependency on her criminal skills. So she’s basically involved in “cooking” and smuggling “weight” globally. And in that regard he says she has been to places as diverse as Asia and Europe in order to move his product. In this case Frank Ocean is portraying the role of a drug dealer. And the subject of the song, as in the lady he is singing about, reads as if it is a romantic interest. But more to the point is that he has her engaged in the illicit drug trade.
