See You Again
Tyler, The Creator (Ft. Kali Uchis)
Tyler’s favorite off of Flower Boy, “See You Again” is a love song. The song features vocals from Kali Uchis, who appeared on Tyler’s 2015 album Cherry Bomb on “FIND YOUR WINGS” and “FUCKING YOUNG / PERFECT.”
The person Tyler sings to on this song seems to be his ideal lover, as they only live in his fantasy and dream state. Whenever he wakes up this person disappears, and therefore he doesn’t wish to wake up. While he is very much in love with them, he hates constantly waiting and chasing.
The song directly follows the interlude “Sometimes…” where we hear a male voice ask Shane Powers to play the song about him on Golf Radio. What comes next is “See You Again.” This implies that the song is likely about a man.
