What I love about House of Balloons is just how contrasting the Weeknd is. On the Knowing, he tries to lie about not being hurt, but he is hurt. But Not the way we/ everyone thinks he is. This is a huge contrast to his confident demeanor that we see through the entire Mixtape. This concept is a recurring thing in The Trilogy and Kisslan, where we the listener know just how hurt Abel is by the actions of the woman he had felt closer to, other then the ones he used. He knows he's a horrible person and when horrible things happen to him, he takes it as bad karma but he really is hurt.
