On Wolf, these feelings of loneliness began to fester. Not quite the bleak isolation his buddy Earl sweated through on I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside, but lonely enough to dampen his success because he has no one to share it with: “Five-car garage, full tank of gas / But that don’t mean nothin,' nothin,' nothin,' nothin’ without you shotgun in the passenger." Aside from the stunning revelation that Tyler, The Creator, purported homophobe, might actually be gay ( “Garden shed for the garçons / Them feelings that I was guardin’”), Flower Boy makes it known that Tyler is lonely as fuck. Thematically, there’s another trail of crumbs that can be traced from Flower Boy back to Wolf.
