"The Weeknd’s 'Till Dawn (Here Comes the Sun)' is not just a showcase of his signature sound but also a masterclass in lyrical storytelling. The second verse, in particular, stands out for its evocative imagery and emotional depth. Here, The Weeknd delves into the complexities of finding solace amidst chaos, a theme that resonates throughout the track. The verse opens with the lines: ‘I've been dancing with shadows, trying to make them disappear, / But your light cuts through the darkness, I can finally see clear.’ These lyrics illustrate a powerful metaphor for overcoming personal struggles. The “dancing with shadows” evokes the sense of grappling with one's inner demons, while the imagery of light cutting through darkness symbolizes a breakthrough or epiphany. The Weeknd’s choice of words paints a vivid picture of the struggle between hope and despair, making the listener feel the weight of his journey. As the verse progresses, The Weeknd continues to explore this theme with: ‘In the depths of the night, when I'm lost in the fray, / Your love is the beacon that guides me through the gray.’ This part of the verse reinforces the idea of love as a guiding force. The “depths of the night” and “lost in the fray” convey a sense of confusion and difficulty, yet the “beacon” of love represents a source of direction and clarity. This lyrical imagery not only enhances the emotional impact of the song but also highlights the transformative power of love and connection. The final lines of the verse-‘And as the dawn breaks, casting shadows behind, / I'll follow your lead, leave the past far behind.’-signal a shift towards resolution and renewal. The “dawn breaks” metaphorically represents a new beginning or a fresh start, with the shadows of the past being left behind. This imagery underscores the theme of moving forward and embracing a hopeful future, which is a central message of the song. Overall, The Weeknd’s lyrical prowess in "Till Dawn" shines brightly in the second verse. His use of vivid metaphors and emotional resonance not only complements the track’s production but also deepens its impact. The verse encapsulates the essence of the song-finding light in the darkness and the power of love to guide and heal. This lyrical depth is a testament to The Weeknd’s ability to craft songs that are both sonically captivating and emotionally profound.

Listening to this makes me think how we're truly different people with time. Abel will never be how he was when he came up with House Of Balloons, no matter how much he would try to recreate something similar, he won't ever be able to cause he's a different person now. Same goes for how Eminem can't ever be the same Slim Shady he was from 99 to 2002. We as humans literally have time bubbles in which we act a certain way, it's truly remarkable.
