Wow. The lyrics just now hit me. The Weeknd predicted his success and he's speaking to his old fans (The girl in this song is actually us) and telling us "to love him before they all love him" because when he becomes popular like he is now "he'll be different" and that he hopes "we'll still listen" but until that comes he's going to give us as much dark and mysterious music as he can before his "mystery fades" and "we get used to his face". WOW.

Yesssss ! YOU ARE 100% correct! He is explaining his past and how he used to sleep on the street. When you are making music coming from somewhere, it really hits you. We got to see this side of him and now that he’s made it to the top he don’t really have to “fight” anymore because he’s there now and we see this different side of him. I will LOVE HIM ALWAYS on either side ❤️‼️ So his mystery did fade and now I still recognize his face! I LOVE HIMM ‼️

Milcah Taye I started listening to him in 2011. Knew he was going to be the best artist I liked after MJ. You can't even imagine how pumped up we were as fans like he wasn't showing his face in his early career, no interviews either. So it was only his voice we were connected to him . But then he became famous.

I feel like song is suppose to represent how his career in the art of music is changing, I feel when he said "you'll love me until they all love me" represent his music becoming mainstream, and when says "I hope you still listen" is a him hoping that his original/true fans to listen no matter what he always be the weeknd.
