I think this, like a lot of his songs go along with a storyline of his album. The lights are first referenced in the previous track " faith". It maybe referring to fame blinding him to whats important or as some think, maybe referring to the lights he sees in the back of an ambulance and him not wanting to die without feeling her "touch"
What I like most about this song is the 80s vibe to the music. I'm 42 and my music taste isn't only 80s, 90s, and 00s, but of course I have nostalgia for those decades of my childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood. Then you got his lovely voice on it and it's perfection
c'mon man. its about drugs again. every single verse in that track is a reference to someone comming down in vegas. where drugs can be hard to come by for the average, do to hash penalties if caught. just a touch/taste all he needs. cant see clearly, hard to sleep, drowning in the night. all results of coming down. weird but true. take an addict to know an addict. at least thats my take on the song. that white girl or maybe tina. yum
I think your right that was the intention of the creator of the lyrics but also at the same time some people might take it in a different perspective everyone does
the weeknd is a character and abel is the real person ! always thought like that and i 'm happy to hear that i'm not the only one that knows how to separate the character from the real person abel , very well said mate 😉 love our explanations thanks
Q. What do you think the imagery of the singer is all about? He went to great lengths to put that in the video. He was being lifted up by her hand. Is she the representation of his love interest or is she a distraction from it? Q2. Why do those guys beat him up?
you would notice 2 guys looking for someone and then the car rolls on the street, so thats when these men have caught him and beaten him, after that you would not see him with the car so may be the car was stolen by him and the owners have taken it back.
Can you review the lyrics of kpop songs, I suggest the kpop songs that are meaningful rather than....not to throw shade but most of them are sounds instead of words. But I recently discovered a another side to it, and i think you should review it sometime if you can.
Seems to me like this isn't about a relationship with a women. More like with drugs. "Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe" "You don't even have to do too much You can turn me on with just a touch, baby" "No one's around to judge me (oh) I can't see clearly when you're gone" "No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch" "I'm running out of time 'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky" Not 100% sure though
Yeah, it's literally describing withdrawals - "no one's around to judge me", no one will judge his drug use. "can't see clearly when you're gone", people in such a state doesn't think clearly and rationally, they would do basically anything to get a fix and often there's blurry vision present. "you don't have to do much, you can turn me on with just a touch" he doesn't need much to feel better. Blinding lights - in a withdrawal state light is irritating and blinding. Photophobia is normal and often occurrence, just like hydrophobia. Running out of time - he has a very little time before withdrawals will start again. "I can't sleep until I fell your touch" - dyssomnia/disordered sleep is a well known symptom in withdrawal syndrome. At first I also thought it's about a woman, but after reading lyrics it started to be obvious for me, it's not about another person.
Why is the original video show him getting up from the grounds with blood on his nose and face and then he sees the blind and lights around then the song starts?
when the video starts he is not bleeding on the face but somehow he is high on drugs and then he pushes the paddles of a car which I think he stole and later got beaten up for the same. he is enjoying his smoke, the fast car and the way he is stoned, and maybe there is a reference of him being with prostitutes when he swiftly walks out of some shady place. He is not shown with girls which can mean he is in love with someone who is not with him anymore and he is now missing that person when he writes this song as he is shown alone into the whole song doing everything on his own. when he is bleeding he says WHEN I'M LIKE THIS YOU'RE THE ONE I TRUST which means he is presently into some sort of regret of parting with someone..................... thats what I could figure out
Tbh i like songs that are vague in meaning but we know what they're getting at. Another two is bother by stone sour, and snuff, also stone sour iirc but could be Slipknot.
I always thought this song was about someone he loved and cared for before he got famous. Now with fame, drugs and all the women he can have, it's just not the same of what he had. Calling her to let her know and this time he won't let her go. Sin city is cold because it the place for lust and anything goes. He sees stabilization with her.
Ora non ci posso credere l ambulanza la corsa tutto la prima volta con il coraggio di leggere il testo ma non posso ascoltare la musica nemmeno nel mio cervello cerco di cambiare melodia spero non la trasmetteranno mai piu!
verse 1. he's out of drugs. trying too call and get some. but it can be difficult. especially in vegas. if you dont know where to look or have a hook. show him how to love... aint no sex like sex on drugs.
Per la prima volta da febbraio 2020 ho il coraggio di vedere qualcosa su questa maledetta canzone maledetta per me e sto con i brividi La canzone stava in radio quella fredda mattina di inverno erano le 5 in auto con la nebbia mi disturba sento il diavolo cerco cambiare stazione distrazione vado giu in un burrone in un volo..... Questa canzone la risento all uscita dall ospedale con la gamba... La risento tutte le volte appena intuisco essere lei spengo tv o me ne esco da un negozio scappo non la devo sentire se no lo so succedera qualcosa di brutto ...oggi per prima volta ho avuto coraggio di leggere il testo e vedere video senza audio ovvio! Ma quella risata e lui ride pieno di sangue la bocca ho ancora i brividi! É la mia ossessione ho tanta paura
Is this your opinion? I’m commenting while still in the middle of your ( what sounds to be an opinion) of the video/ song.. so far.. and I don’t think you’ll hit in it.. why is he all busted up in the video and dies this song live as being busted up / beat up.. so why ??
I think this, like a lot of his songs go along with a storyline of his album. The lights are first referenced in the previous track " faith". It maybe referring to fame blinding him to whats important or as some think, maybe referring to the lights he sees in the back of an ambulance and him not wanting to die without feeling her "touch"
the lights one in faith was about him getting into a cop car i think at 2014
The best video about after hours m.th-cam.com/video/0xyZD4JdGFM/w-d-xo.html&pp=sAQA

My bro you are back and I’m sooo happy !! Need more after hours stuff you feel me 😍
Remember me dude? Thank u for considering my request.
c'mon man. its about drugs again. every single verse in that track is a reference to someone comming down in vegas. where drugs can be hard to come by for the average, do to hash penalties if caught. just a touch/taste all he needs. cant see clearly, hard to sleep, drowning in the night. all results of coming down. weird but true. take an addict to know an addict. at least thats my take on the song. that white girl or maybe tina. yum
😂 bro I'm was just saying the same thing. Dude has no clue about the weeknds music
@@ShadySavage 100%
Frls
Thank you for saying that. I can't even listen to his interpretation. SOOOOOO OFFFF
I think your right that was the intention of the creator of the lyrics but also at the same time some people might take it in a different perspective everyone does
I could’ve used this a month ago for my English class LOL
literally why im here
I love this song, mostly because I’m nostalgic for the beginning of 2020 before every went wrong lol
Great video dude!
I have waited so long for this day
Me too 😭
Yeaaa
Let’s goooo been waiting for a Weeknd video
the weeknd is a character and abel is the real person ! always thought like that and i 'm happy to hear that i'm not the only one that knows how to separate the character from the real person abel ,
very well said mate 😉
love our explanations thanks
I remember watching back in the starboy days. so glad to see you grow so much.
Has to be someone he knew before he went mainstream when he says “your man is on the road doing promo”
Where have you been for The Weeknd?
I hope you do all explanations for all of his After hours songs these are so good and interesting
Q. What do you think the imagery of the singer is all about? He went to great lengths to put that in the video. He was being lifted up by her hand. Is she the representation of his love interest or is she a distraction from it? Q2. Why do those guys beat him up?

Even at the end of the song it says 'starring' Abel Tesfaye 😉
Great videoooo ✌️:)
Thanks!

@BroknWingedHawk 777 yes and spring day

That's not the question. The question everybody ask is if it is a cover from 80s song or sample? Why is there no answer anywhere?
Why is the original video show him getting up from the grounds with blood on his nose and face and then he sees the blind and lights around then the song starts?
About himself being under the influence he crashed and now he's dying
when the video starts he is not bleeding on the face but somehow he is high on drugs and then he pushes the paddles of a car which I think he stole and later got beaten up for the same. he is enjoying his smoke, the fast car and the way he is stoned, and maybe there is a reference of him being with prostitutes when he swiftly walks out of some shady place.

This song is clearly about him coming down. And trying to score some more coke before day time hits.
You’re the best!
Can u do one for his other single Save Your Tears
Tbh i like songs that are vague in meaning but we know what they're getting at. Another two is bother by stone sour, and snuff, also stone sour iirc but could be Slipknot.
havent he said its about drunk driving?
please after hour album every songs love your video
I always thought this song was about someone he loved and cared for before he got famous. Now with fame, drugs and all the women he can have, it's just not the same of what he had. Calling her to let her know and this time he won't let her go. Sin city is cold because it the place for lust and anything goes. He sees stabilization with her.
Finally.
video looks like it was filmed on downtown la partially
The lights are obviously Lucifer, dawn of the morning. Duh. Illuminati confirmed.
When Ok Orchestra drops you better cover it
