The Weeknd Lyrics

It's ideal (oh)
You need someone to tell you how to feel
And you think your happiness is real
There's so much more the world has to reveal
But you choose to be concealed
So you're somebody now
But what's a somebody in a nobody town
I don't think you even know it
So you're somebody now
But what's a somebody in a nobody town
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

You made enough to quit a couple years ago
But it consumed you
It's everywhere you go
And just the thought alone
Got you trippin', got you losing your mind
And I don't blame you
It's everything you know
But I owned this time
This ain't new
Now I decide
When we're through

I love
You love
This love
We're professional
I know
You know
We're sophisticated
At lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'
Lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'
We're professional at lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'
Lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'
Lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'(we're prof-)

What does it mean, oh
When your heart's already numb
You're professional
Won't treat it like it's personal
No, 'cause it's just love
It always makes its way back around
It's dispensable
To fall is unacceptable
'Cause everything you've been through made you stronger
And every day you learn about yourself
And nothing really played out how it's supposed to
Depending on somebody else's wealth
But now you know the value of a dollar
And girl I make enough of it to spend
I love the way you've put yourself together
I love the way you make that body bend
For me again, oh yeah

I love
You love
This love
We're professional
I know
You know
We're sophisticated
At lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'

All of those nights you were up early holding your own
Girl, you've got it made
Had you blaming yourself all when life did you wrong
Now, you've got it made
Getting rich to the drums of your favorite song
Girl, you've got it made
'Cause your freedom was here in this cage all along
Oh, how did you drain all the soul from your eyes?
How did you teach, teach yourself, how to smile?
In a world (in a world)
Where your dreams (where your dreams)
Can't be real, no
Every touch
That you sell
Is a lie (oh)

I love
You love
This love
We're professional
I know
You know
We're sophisticated
At lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'
Lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'
We're professional at lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'
Lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'
Lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'
We're professional

The album is a story
In Professional it describes the prostitute he fell in love with.
in the town he explains how she found someone and hes about to go on tour
adaptation hes on tour & has adapted to life without her
love in the sky - he returns to her for a night of passion
belong to the world - he realises that her prostitution is too much for him to handle and they could never be something real & he leaves again
the next 3 tracks are more tour life
pretty - he returns after a year to murder her
tears in the rain - shes dead. and now he will never love again

@Memento Mori Honestly Kiss Land has a better intro than House of Balloons. But House of Balloons is a more consistent, enduring project. And I like Kiss Land, I think the hate it got was undue because of the albums that it had the misfortune of following.

Not necessarily true. Kissland was still a successful debut album. It was #1 on the R&B charts and number #2 on the overall billboard 200 when it released. It had a crazy amount of marketing and remembered that it was leaked a week beforehand AND when it got leaked he streamed the album early. Kissland was never a flop - it might be the black sheep of his discography but XO rode for it

Gabriel Sanchez If I’m not wrong I’m pretty sure trilogy is just HOB, Thursday and Echoes of Silence put all together since he wasn’t selling the albums as good separately so he just made trilogy so people would notice it, I had all three albums when he released them for free way back then.

Listening in November 2019:

When this came out in 2013, I didn’t have the emotional intelligence to understand this album.

Abel’s taking us on a journey through the production i.e. the drums kicking the tempo up to build up to that beat drop at the end, his voice becoming less soft in the 2nd verse etc.

The creativity this man possessed back in 2013 was off the charts, I’d give anything to have him making this type of music once again.

This is the first song that I heard from the weeknd that made me get into all of his stuff aside from his main hits back in the day like wicked games and earned it. damm I've prob listened to this song like 1000 times.

The sexual and metaphysical tension that this song provokes is inescapable, the production is timeless. Kissland is so ahead of its time that even today many people listening to The Weeknd don't know it's his best album.

My wife is in love with him 😂 and I'm ok with it. But, let me say, I've seen him 3 times and I'm gonna see him again in Buffalo on April 8th. Hes a true professional. On stage when hes supposed to be......plays the album and a few other hits.....walks off stage.......comes back and plays the most banging song on the album as an encore. On time. Plays late. Loves his fans. Dude is top notch.

I loved Able Tesfaye's work so much on this album that I even preordered Beauty Behind the Madness. Starboy struck me off guard. I previewed it. I liked it; haven't bought it yet. Make eye contact with him in the cover art, guys. I bet the next record will be a little more recognizable by fans than Starboy.

They way this song sets up the entire album by showing his 2 looks on his tour life so we know what to expect.

The song starts sultry, slow, and harmonious.

Then splits and the sultry vibes switches to a more serious tone and it's no more harmonious but unique rnb.

Throughout out the album, the music really boosts the lyrics.

maureen h

[Intro]
It's ideal
You need someone to tell you how to feel
And you think your happiness is real
There's so much more the world has to reveal
But you choose to be concealed
So you're somebody now
But what's a somebody in a nobody town
I don't think you even know it
So you're somebody now
But what's a somebody in a nobody town
You made enough to quit a couple years ago
But it consumes you
It's everywhere you go
And just the thought alone got you trippin'
Got you losing your mind
And I don't blame you
It's everything you know
But I own this time, this ain't new
Now I decide when we're through

[Hook]
I love, you love
This love
We're professional
I know, you know
We're sophisticated
At loving...
We're professional

[Verse 1]
What does it mean, oh
When your heart's already numb
You're professional
Won't treat it like it's personal
No, cause it's just love
It always makes it's way back around
It's dispensable
To fall is unacceptable
'Cause everything you've been through made you stronger
And every day you learn about yourself
And nothing really played out how it's supposed to
Depending on somebody else's wealth
But now you know the value of a dollar
And girl I make enough of it to spend
I love the way you've put yourself together
I love the way you make that body bend
For me again
Oh yeah

[Hook]
I love, you love
This love
We're professional
I know, you know
We're sophisticated
At loving...

[Verse 2]
All of those nights you were up barely holding your own
Girl, you've got it made
Had you blaming yourself all when life did you wrong
Now, you've got it made
Getting rich to the drums of your favorite song
Girl, you've got it made
Because your freedom was here in this cage all along
Oooh, how did you drain all the soul from your eyes
How did you teach, teach yourself how to smile
In a world where your dreams can't be real, no
Every touch that you sell is a lie

[Hook]
I love, you love
This love
We're professional
I know, you know
We're sophisticated
At loving...

1:20 to 2:00 is such a goat part of this song or any of his songs. I never see anyone praising it but it makes me feel a certain type of way when the guitar or whatever kicks in. Probably why i only love this song out of kissland because it reminds me so much of his work in After Hourse which inthink is my joint favourite album woth trilogy

Inphinite Zero

I love all his albums, but house and kissland are my favourites cuz they complement my mood most of the time when nothing else seems to make me feel at ease when i feel like shit, and don't forget about My dear melancholy (he really opens up and expresses his pain, breakups are 1 one of the most fucked up pains in this life). I love the other albums for when im feeling Lit. But this album is so full of deep emotions and feeling, it's a real catharsis. But Abel is always experimenting and looking for new stylez and music so u just gotta learn to appreciate all his albums if ur a true fan. He's fuckin intelligent so Starboy IMO is to pull in mainstream listeners so that they would also check out his old work ;) he didn't sell out , he's working on a plan at least that what my intuition is telling me. And let's face it Beauty and Starboy although completely different from the Trilogy, it's fuckin Lit. Lyric content might have changed but damn feel that energy folks it's insane. IMO the greatest artist around in this era , there is much to come. Bottom line is: when i feel fucktop the trilogy is the only thing that can make me feel better and the only music that can feel my pain..Thanx Abel..XO4life
