In my eyes = the soul Basically he is saying the person he is from the outside(face). Is different than his true self (soul), which is why the outside is no longer recognizeable.

[@aminsidiali]

@@atom0824 there are definitely layers to that lyric. 1. people change. the weeknd discusses the subtle disappointing women have upon learning of his true nature or demons. or how he has changed/will change over time. 2. they're so fucking faded that nothing makes sense and you cant recognize anyone. its not the most lyrically complex line, but it is very good, simplistic, and arguably relatable.

[@sicapeo]

This whole song is a trip. The first part is so happy. Just like when you first get high but then the second part is the come down. I hate when the song finishes. Because then you have to replay it. Then you have to get high again and come down once more. And you are caught in a cycle of ecstasy and pain. UPDATE: Lol oh shit 4 years later and I never thought this comment will get crazy likes, thanks guys! I was high af when I wrote the comment. So while I was listening I was also riding out the physical feeling. Today I think the first part is “happy” but in an eery and destructive way. Ghoulish almost as someone mentioned here, with something hiding behind the “happiness”. I miss those Trilogy days man, but look where our boy is at today, number 1! Love and blessings to you all!

[@dezxter8186]

If you really look at it, lyrics are scary ass shit. Poor girl can't breathe and trying to leave but he just tells her to open the window and trying to convince her that in fact it's really a happy house and that they're happy and it's fun and she's terrified, but she "belongs to him" and he won't let her go.

[@THEVIDEOARBITRATOR]

Not really scary, just ironic. its not like shes inhaling Joker gas or noxious fumes lol. Its just weed smoke or drug smoke. They arent happy, so the irony is that its a happy house. Also, I think one of the samples comes from a song that has the same irony so he might have been influenced by it.

this song's vibes are forever iconic, it's timeless even after 13 years. definitely one of my favourites. xotwod ❤💫

[@Belihoney]

It's amazing when you look back at how much this guy has influenced the r and b scene. Even with the so many amazing songs to come out that have been influenced by him, when I hear songs like these ones and the zone I still get transported to some other world where a rare few others can. He really has something special.

[@Belihoney]

Definitely, when people will be summing up the 2010s decade, his name will def be there.

[@GodsHandGideon]

i highly agree. to the point where even juicy j Stay trippy album has many influences of just him

[@GiozRockin]

***** like you said his producers bring that dark feel to the music he bring the amazing vocals

Eu amo demais essa música, amo o Trilogy todo na verdade. E ontem assistindo um filme: Noite Passada em Soho (2021) em certa cena começou a instrumental dessa música, fiquei em êxtase, porém não era ela e sim uma música antiga, a qual eu nem sabia que era sample: Happy House da banda Siouxsie and the Banshees. Sensacional.

[@VioletScorpion]

Hearing the Siouxie and the Banshees sample in this song during the super bowl is what caused me to completely re-examine The Weeknd, he knows his stuff

Saw him in concert for Kiss Land. He played this song and on the first sentence the entire crowd screamed it with him. Best concert I have ever attended. Only artist who sounds even better live.
