this dude really loves coke. I mean how many metaphors can you put in songs, and make them ill. plus it's all fire. his new stuff need to go back to how his first songs like this.
It's actually about a really strong pain medication that's called codgine or something it makes ur numb , u crush it snort it in a line its just like coc only it's much easier to OD
i was just about to comment how dark this song was and i read this top comment. its honestly a really chilling song. i cant really vibe to it at this point in my life. maybe my younger dumber self but this is just wrong tbh, well, for me at least
B Calderon i think the change in his voice is actually to represent him being high on coke among other drugs... when it is high pitch, the lyrics are talking about how amazing the drugs make him feel where as then the pitch becomes deeper as he is coming down from his high, and he is talking about how fucked up the drugs have made him. he then does another line and the pitch becomes higher as he gets higher, only to come down again, and then continue doing more and more drugs. it’s his own dark world filled with pain, and he is dragging her into it.
Even tho this is late I'm pretty sure he is referring to a drunk or drugged woman. Hence the name initiation. The change in his voice is how he sounds to the drunk woman. But we the listeners are that woman. He is telling a story. And we are playing the woman
French Pink No she's high on codeine "Got you drinking out them white cups, sodas." and thats why he says "Heart rate slow put that rum down you don't want to die tonight." Because mixing lean (a super downer) with Liquor (another downer) can cause cardiac arrest.
My best friend is hands down the BIGGEST fan of the weeknd. Even knows where he originally grew up. THE EXACT ADDRESS! So she had me listen to all of his songs and I can tell why she loves him. He's effing awesome!
I wouldn't be surprised if she did wind up stalking him. She go's through these "Fases" like when we were 4 she liked Eminem, when we were ten she liked LMFAO (OF COURSE TEY HAD TO BREAK UP :(((( ) when we were 12 she liked Maroon 5, and now we are 14 and she like The Weeknd. OH! At 7 she liked Micheal Jackson.
Dude said "boys" means heroin. "Boys" is referring to an assortment of drugs, none in particular, but they are more than likely ecstasy and oxycodone, XO.
He's definitely talking about his group of friends when he says "Boys" ... He pretty much wants to gang bang the girl to initiate her ... hence the name of the song.
Does you guys even listen to his music? He's definitely talkn about running the train on the girl with his boys. Listen to outside the song before this and you'll understand why he views her this way
In a girls quest for his love,The Weeknd describes the dark, drug induced lifestyle that she’s gotta comply with. And that getting down with him, means getting down with the whole xo crew….. There are two main themes that people tend to think Weeknd is referring to. Dominantly when he say’s “my boys”. One argument is that he’s referring to his crew, and that she needs to have a train ran on her… The initiation.
As much as I like this song it’s scary cause these comments show exactly how everyone is so desensitized to date rape and coerced sex. All these 15 yo boys talking about how they listen to this on repeat and whatnot. Gross.
It's not rape tho, it's consensual. It's just the character he's portraying here is him leading this girl on to a lifestyle that she is attracted to. But of course she's naive and doesn't realise how toxic he is
the art someone consumes doesnt necessarily reflect their own thoughts on something, lol. In fact, the art someone writes doesn't necessarily correlate to their personality either Theres a ton of reasons as to why someone might like this song. For me personally its the progression and the varying vocal inflections. Moreover, i think you've misinterpreted this songs literal meaning. Sure, it isn't anything particularly endearing, but it isn't that messed up either, lol.
I liked it better when I thought it was "Be my voice" instead "Meet my boys" : / Then I also thought: I have alot of thoughts. And I'm just like, "Yes Sir." lol
baby get familiar with the order just crack it pour it sip slow tip low my eyes red my brim lo w that xo gets me hype in traffic i got hand signals for that whole part
Did ya'll know xo is his very own label??? is that old news??? I always thought he was talking bout drugs. Or maybe using it two ways maybe three?? lol
His boys as in the pills he pop , his actuall "boys" like his friends, or he's saying he wants you to meet another side of him . Thats why the voices change it represents his boys
Damn I LUV this fukin song 🎶🎧I swear The WEEKND is on a whole different LEVEL ain't no one fukin with his Style & what's even more crazy I don't even like slow.luv.songs but I fux with this straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯Baby I got a TEST 4you..😎come over here & Ride it out😜
