    Lyrics:
    I used to pray when I was sixteen
    If I didn’t make it then I’d probably make my wrist bleed
    Not to mislead turn my nightmares into big dreams
    Whole squad mobbin even though we only six deep
    I was singing notes while my niggas played with six keys
    Walking in the snow before I ever made my wrist freeze
    I was blowing smoke had me dizzy like Gillespie
    Niggas had no homes we were living in the dead streets
    You couldn’t find me like I’m Hoffa
    Cover girls jumping out the page like they pop ups
    Spending all my money on these niggas that I brought up
    Taking care of families for my brothers when they are locked up
    And I had nothing to believe in
    Double cup leanin
    Couldn’t even breathe and
    For that money I was fiending
    Cali was the mission but now a nigga leaving
    Leaving, leaving into the night
    Now a nigga leaving, leaving
    leaving into the night oh
    She like my futuristic sounds in the new spaceship
    Futuristic sex give her Phillip K dick
    She never need a man, she what a man need
    So I could keep on falling for her daily
    We was at Coachella going brazy
    Stack a couple M’s like I was shady
    Now I’m in Tribeca like I’m Jay-Z
    Rockin Sorayama like he pay me
    I just signed a new deal with Mercedes
    Got me movin dirty like I’m Swayze
    All my diamonds dancing like they Swayze
    All my diamonds hitting like they Swae Lee
    Jet so big got a business and a coach
    I was always on the road rockin Louis a la mode nigga
    And for that money I was fiending
    Cali was the mission but now a nigga leaving
    Leaving, leaving into the night
    Now a nigga leaving, leaving
    leaving into the night oh
    20 mill mansion never lived in
    Zero edge pool never dipped in it
    Superstar neighbor in my business
    Paparazzi tryna catch me sleepin and
    Going on tour is my vacation
    Every month another accusation
    Only thing I’m phobic of is failing
    I was never blessed with any patience
    So a nigga leaving, leaving into the night
    Now a nigga leaving, leaving
    leaving into the night oh

    Maybe it's a stretch, but I love how this video connects all the eras together. We see a younger Abel in the Toronto house of balloons before all the fame; Kiss Land Abel gets pulled under by the dark, mysterious world; the depiction of the devil that Abel shot in Tell Your Friends appears before he walks to his Hills house, the changed man that has made a deal for fame; the attention from BBTM follows into the Starboy era where Abel is attacked and ends up going on the run; this flows nicely into MDM with the Call Out My Name video; and finally Abel's bruised, and beaten After Hours self begins, cue the madness of Heartless...

    Snowchild is a montage of The Weeknd's life through all his albums. It starts with After hours Abel "tripping down the memory lane" at 0:09 .
    House of Balloons era. The city of Toronto is cold and lonely as the only people in the city we can see are him and his friends. He is very sad in his house of balloons and we can see in 0:39 his life is "upside down" but is "turning around."
    Kissland era: He is in Japan and things went from colorless to colorful. He's got fame and money but is still hollow from the inside. He uses alcohol, drugs and sex to cope and meets the muse from kissland along the way who just "drags him down" at 1:07 .
    Beauty Behind the Madness: At 1:17 the elevator has odd numbers only and the dial going backwards could mean he is just falling more and more in odd ways. At 1:26 we see people who have "lost their heads" and are "stuck in Hollywood " until they "disappear/die." He meets the devil here as in BBtm.
    Starboy era: 1:45 his house is dark but there is light outside. Basically he is in a dark place emotionally. He enters a hidden corner of his house/mind. Here finds women, assuming his love interests, who want to hurt him. He wants to run away but can't. He realizes he fight his inner demons and starts to believe in himself. He literally " double crosses" his demons at 2:36 . This, however, shatters his house/mind.
    My Dear Melancholy era: He is aimlessly wondering around and fast traveling everywhere. He is "burning money" at 2:58 just to keep himself warm or to feel anything.
    After Hours era: 3:11 He simply crashes from doing all these and now is all alone or "deserted" in life. Disoriented Abel is glad to be close to Vegas/happiness but it's actually far away. This doesn't stop as he keeps moving on until he reaches Vegas and he's all worn out at 3:55 at this point. But he does all this only to "find himself" completely "Heartless" at 4:07 .

    Lyrics:
    I used to pray when I was sixteen
    If I didn't make it then I'd probably make my wrist bleed
    Not to mislead, turn my nightmares into big dreams
    Whole squad mobbin' even though we only six deep
    I was singing notes while my niggas played with six keys
    Walking in the snow before I ever made my wrist freeze
    I was blowing smoke, had me dizzy like Gillespie
    Niggas had no homes we were living in the dead streets
    You couldn't find me like I'm Hoffa
    Cover girls jumping out the page like they pop ups
    Spending all my money on these niggas that I brought up
    Taking care of families for my brothers when they locked up
    And I had nothing to believe in
    Double cup leanin'
    Couldn't even breathe and
    For that money I was fiending
    Cali was the mission but now a nigga leaving
    Leaving, leaving into the night (into the night, into the night)
    Now a nigga leaving, leaving
    Leaving into the night
    She like my futuristic sounds in the new spaceship
    Futuristic sex give her Phillip K dick
    She never need a man, she what a man need (man need)
    So I keep on falling for her daily (daily)
    We was at Coachella going brazy
    Stack a couple M's like I was Shady (I was Shady)
    Now I'm in Tribeca like I'm Jay-Z (Jay-Z)
    Rockin' Sorayama like he pay me (pay me)
    I just signed a new deal with Mercedes ('Cedes)
    Got me movin' dirty like I'm Swayze (Swayze)
    All my diamonds dancing like they Swayze (Swayze)
    All my diamonds hitting like they Swae Lee (Swae Lee)
    Jet so big got a business and a coach
    Always livin' on the road, rockin' Louis a la mode, nigga
    And for that money I been fiending
    Cali was the mission but now a nigga leaving
    Leaving, leaving into the night (into the night, into the night)
    Now a nigga leaving, leaving
    Leaving into the night, oh
    Twenty mill' mansion, never lived in it (lived in it)
    Zero edge pool, never dipped in it (dipped in it)
    Superstar neighbor in my business (in my business, in my business)
    Paparazzi tryna catch me slippin' (slippin')
    Going on tour is my vacation (my vacation)
    Every month another accusation (accusation)
    Only thing I'm phobic of is failing (failing)
    I was never blessed with any patience
    So a nigga leaving, leaving, leaving into the night
    Now a nigga leaving, leaving
    Leaving into the night, oh

    Its a very insightful glimpse into the struggle with fame and the music industry. It changed his life in many ways. He lost family and friends due to succeeding in the music industry. Each time he changes he encounters a new problem. All the separate albums reflecting how he has changed. The first section shows how hes leaving behind his friends and family. The part where the women turn into panthers could represent how the women hes encountered in his life are vicious animals to him. The section where hes wearing all black could show how cold hes become and shows him burning his money and talking about the "2 million dollar" home he doesnt visit. Its all empty to him now. The money, fame, and material items no longer bring him any joy.
    The last section he has basically become "heartless" to all of it. Turning to struggles with drugs as a way to escape the pain of his fame. To maybe find meaning in all of the events in his life.

    After watching his "Gasoline" video where his old self travels back in time to where the present one is in the club, this video says a lot. At the end of this, he ends up seeing his hedonistic self in Vegas about to get into some wild shit , just like Gasoline.
    He could be trying to save himself from dying in these alternate storylines. From House of Balloons to Starboy he was killing himself to reach new levels, but now he's interconnecting levels where his alternate selves run into each other.

    So he’s basically saying he doesn’t want to be famous anymore, and he’s prioritizing what’s real in his life: his lover, his homies and family, his music. He’s leaving into the night, into obscurity. Perhaps this is the end, or the start of another chapter.

    I feel like this video rounds up the clips: in "Until I Bleed Out" (which I assume is an OD process, as in "After Hours" short film he experiences relapse that leads to "In Your Eyes" badtrip) Abel ends up lying on the ground, this video starts right after that. In the end, Abel comes back from his nostalgia trip just to see himself at the beginning of "Heartless", restarting it all again.
    In short, I guess that the video symbolises Abel's life as a never-ending cycle: despite the changes he stayed the same.
