Following the whole idea of Purgatory and After Life, I really think the car crashing into a sign and then the song playing from the radio that leads him to the party is really just his “life flashing before his eyes” as he makes stops at all his memories. Old Abel full of wisdom and experience sees his younger self indulging in reckless behavior and trying to warn him about the path he is on. I feel like Old Abel doesn’t know he’s dead, and this journey he’s on as he travels to the light will be portrayed in the music videos.

I think the same, maybe young Abel will suffer a lot after this. Old Abel tried to warn him about the consequences of being the worst version of him. Even tho this was just a music video, it was really sad to see his old version getting beaten to death just bcoz he tried to warn his younger self.

This is what I think I understand. The “old Weeknd” dies in a crash and is now in Purgatory. We know this because Dawn fm station turns on. When he steps on the water/liquid he is transported to a different level of purgatory. According to Dante’s poem, The Devine Comedy, purgatory has 7 levels (for different sins committed; one of them is lust which is the level The Weeknd seems to be on judging by the crowd) Water is often symbolic as gateway to a different state. We see people looking up and looking down at others in levels above and below them. We see arms and bodies of people moving from one level of purgatory to another, presumably as they resolve/come to terms with their sins from that level. Notice the level above looking down might be greed as they all dressed fancy and wearing diamonds. The white lily represents purity and rebirth. I think they also have hallucinogenic properties. What I don’t understand is how did The Weeknd get old? Why are there two versions a young and an old? Why does the young version see the old version as a demon? Not sure what the lunar eclipse has to do with it either. The moon is associated with emotions, often hidden emotions. If there’s an eclipse perhaps his emotions are hidden from him….? No guiding light? Also side note. Yesterday Abel said we are in the middle of another trilogy. In Dante’s Devine Comdey there are 3 parts. Hell, Purgatory and Paradise (heaven). After Hours=Hell, Dawn FM=purgatory, the next album=Paradise.

Thank you this makes so much sense now! He became old in the Sacrifice video when he sacrificed his time/youth like the lyrics suggest. As for 2 abels there have been 2 in his music videos before where the new character abel makes for his album kills the one of the previous album. Such as starboy, tell your friends, etc. At the end of Snowchild there was the regretful Abel watching After Hours Abel as well. So interested to see how this plays out!

I think it might be that the old Abel is trying to save the young abel from the evil that he went through, so he doesn't make the sacrifice of his time and doesn't end up like him. But the young abel is blinded by the parties and clubbing and doesn't listen to the older Abel and thus continuing the cycle. It comes full circle with the sacrifice video

I thought it was a Dorian Gray type of situation when I first saw the cover and heard the album. Like he sells his soul so the cover is the old, broken portrait of himself filled with all the sins of his life while he stays young in real life. That story ends with him trying to fix everything, stabbing the painting, turning as old and broken as the portrait and dying. While the portrait returns back to his younger self.

This is my interpterion of the video: Video starts with Old Abel crashing his car at a deadend/do not enter sign showing that he is at his lowest in life. "WRONG WAY" could be mean that if he goes down this road any further, he will never be able to come back. Young Abel is in his HoB days. At a rave, indulging in life. The arm that sticks up to hold Old Abel is the grip that this life (partying, carefree outlook) once had on him trying to get him to come back and "relapse". Young Abel sees the face changes of the girls to show what we the AUDIENCE know can happen if he gets mixed up with this life again. The flowers pop up on the wall when the couple is hooking up in the rave maybe to show the start of a something pretty, but it only goes on to die to show that everything has a season/life cycle. Have not quite figured out the hearing aid or the crowd floating above the other people. But once again, we have a version of Abel dying like we have seen in so many of his videos. Really hope he makes videos for all of these tracks and we can have a full movie experience with this album!

Great video as always Jon! Just thought I'd share a detailed theory on the main messages in this MV for you and anyone else! The previous MV 'Sacrifice' is basically him officially breaking out into the mainstream and being signed by labels, hence hes “sacrificing” his own life and practically selling his soul. and then in gasoline we see abel beating up his older self at some sort of party. i think this represents his younger self basically killing his older body through drugs and substance abuse (which would’ve occurred in his trilogy-bbtm days im assuming) and he’s surrounded by people cheering him on, most likely representing the execs of the label, his fans (or at least the new found fame), and just the lifestyle of LA. the car scene at the beginning might be his older self trying to escape the bad decisions of his younger self, but in the end it’s futile cause these decisions already happened. that might be what the hearing aid represents, his inner self warning him that nothing he tries to do will revert the actions of his younger self. I also think the flower represents his potential to change - it blooms right before he sees his old self, popping through the wall right after a monstrous woman cuts his heart. At first he seems to want to help, or is at least interested, is drawn towards the old him. Then he hallucinates his older self as an enemy to be destroyed; he then indulges in literal self-destruction. The flower wilts when young Abel is really setting in to beat old Abel to death, like at the point the decision is made.

idk why but the demon young the weeknd sees, looks like a disfigured face of the man who appears in both the "Can't Feel My Face" and "Tell Your Friends" music videos. The man might be the reincarnation of the devil or something related the deal with the devil. Near the end of the MV, young weeknd kills the old weeknd. He also shoots the demon in "Tell Your Friends". I belive that the young weeknd thinks that the demon is here for his part of the deal or something like that 4:15 I think the dying flower means that old weeknd was a purer version of himself. White flowers generally imply purity and innocence. When the old weeknd dies, so does the flower. What i believe abel is trying to say is, the old weeknd is trying to make an attempt to talk or do something but he fails because the young weeknd sees his fears instead of the older version of himself. The only thing we can hope is abel releases more MVs to understand the plot.

He saw her walking in the crowded club. And she scratched him with her love. At first he cried but then the pleasure took over from the pain and everything became alive ... Or dead ... Depending on the perspective. Yes it is all about perspective. For perhaps what has become feared (the drugs, the lust, the night), is what is finally needed to become free from the world below that is trying to hold us back....the old rugged future....the weakened form of ourselves....the death awaiting all.... Let's not forget the contrasts. "If I finally die in peace .... " Is being beaten by yourself peaceful? "The only thing I understand is the zero sum of tenderness ..." So in the end, is he alive or is he dead? Are we alive or are we dead? Is this all but just a dream....??? "Life is a dream.... Cause it's never what it seems... But you'd rather lost and lost... Than never love at all.. Here we go again..." "We're going back in time..." It is all an eclipse and we need special glasses to enjoy it all.

I feel like this entire thing is just a cyber-dystopian version of A Christmas Carol with a little death twist instead of it being a dream. He is being lead through his life to show various points of recklessness, sin, gluttony, greed, hate, violence, lust, etc. What's intriguing is his memories attacking him in this video. Definitely going to give this a TON of rewatches to try and get a better grip on just whats happening. About to stitch all the videos together and start trying to build a story from Take My Breath, Sacrifice and Gasoline. I may even throw in Like A Moth To A Flame because it seems to at least be a precursor or loosely tied to this universe in someway.

I know Abel loves to tease us and he is amused about all the theories we are describing and thinking about. Here is mine: Abel has always been fighting against his demons or he tried to. So here, he gave us his view of this demon. Actually, he himself has been the demon all the time. His inner demon. But the new fact is, that the demon never wanted to harm him. He was terrified, what his younger version was doing (taking drugs, living promiscuous etc.) knowing that this is not the right way. By still doing ist, the flower (symbol for purity) dies. Young Abel, not able to recognize the demon as his older version (maybe his own God), kills him, but old Abel will always come back. So this is a fight, he will never win or lose. It's just perpetual. As life is. It's being born and dying. Being born and dying.

Ok, just a thought: crowd floating above the other people. Video starts with an eclipse, so maybe the "veil" is thin between this world and the next? so when the people are using the eclipse glasses, that's why those people from the other plane are above? can see but not get through to the physical world? and the flower growing and dying maybe represents the length of time of the eclipse? Definitely can be interpreted so many way but that's why this video is so darn cool.

I think him beating up the older version of himself symbolizes not only him dying, but the fact that he wants to kill off the idea of him continuing his toxic lifestyle even when he gets old. He wants to stop now while he’s still young rather than being an old man and regretting that he never stopped.

I totally agree with the explanation of many in the comment section i.e. He's trying to stop his younger self doing sinful acts. However, could it also be that he is killing his older self when he tries to warn him because he wants to live in the moment as in right now. Since, as Jim said in Phantom Regret, "Heaven is not that, it's this" and "You gotta be heaven to see heaven". Meaning that we need to act now and in the moment and live it well to live a good life.

I know it feels too soon to ask but this album seems like the final chapter to the dark toxic nature of The Weeknd. I wonder if this is his last album? if not will it be the end of the dark lyrics and toxicness and instead his future projects will lean towards remorse & regret and looking to do better?

I think this is a double of old Abel trying to save young Abel from the life he has been living. The people dancing are the "demons" that he seems to be happy around (drugs, sex, etc.). As old Abel knows where this path leads, he is trying to save himself from the regrets he will experience when he dies (the theme of the album). Young Abel is resisting, showing the path he was down a couple of years ago. Also seeing his old self has a meaning of him starting to realize the regrets that are coming his way if he doesn't change. Him beating his old self up is a way of him fighting the future that he is starting to understand is coming for him.

@E kitz and many others, this also partially a completion to you all’s theories so I don’t have to retype the beginning of it all. I begin, it’s a also that younger Abel is in the club, like during after hours with lines like “My darkest hours, girl I felt so alone inside of this crowded room, different girls on the floor distracting my thoughts of you” & “I saw you dancing in a crowded room”. He’s so Blinded by the Lights that he can only see his future self as a Demon, because why else would his older self be in the club? UNLESS! (Here’s the kicker) His goals of winning his girl back didn’t work out because of him sabotaging something in the future, so he must destroy that future self/or punish to alter that reality.

Can anyone explain any of these? Also, the flowers growing and dying!

So the synthesizer overlayed with his voice @2:32 reminded me a lot of "Bigmouth Strikes Again" by the Smiths. Also, both songs have a little similarities in rhythm and thematics so i think you are on to something with his British spin on the song.,

Hmmm maybe it’s like the (older) weekend is a symbolism for responsibility and a healthy long live. But the (younger Abel) is caught in this loop of partying, drugs and woman then he sees the older him and starts killing all his responsibilities so he can do the things he think makes him the most happy. We also see from the (younger) weekends POV that he sees his responsibility’s as a demon or evil and a obstacle from continuing partying.

I think Abel is reflecting on his younger self and how his excessive lifestyle is about to kill his older self. Speaking of OD. His younger self is trapped in his nihilistic mindset, whereas his older self knows there‘s more to life. He wants to warn him but it won’t work. This could also portray the inner conflict we sometimes have about knowing what is objectively right, but being emotionally unable to make the right decision. It also matches the song‘s title as his younger self is living a fast life, not caring about the consequences. #livefastdieyoung
