Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
But at least we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young
This I know, yeah, this I know
She told me, don't worry about it
She told me, don't worry no more
We both know we can't go without it
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
All the misery was necessary when we're deep in love
This I know, girl, I know
She told me, don't worry about it
She told me, don't worry no more
We both know we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be in love, oh, oh, woo
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face (I can't feel nothing) when I'm with you
But I love it, (but I love it) but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, (but I love it) but I love it,(but I love it) oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, (but I love it) but I love it, (but I love it) oh
She told me, don't worry about it
She told me, don't worry no more
We both know we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be in love, oh, oh, woo
I can't feel my face when I'm with you (I can't feel my face)
But I love it,(but I love it) but I love it (oh I love it) oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you (said I can't feel my face)
But I love it, (but I love it) but I love it oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you (face, when I'm with you)
But I love it (but I love it) but I love it, don't you think I can't
I can't feel my face when I'm with you (I can't feel my face)
But I love it, (when I'm with you baby) but I love it, (when I'm with you baby)
I can't feel my fa-
The Weeknd's song 'Can't Feel My Face' depicts a dangerous and addictive love affair. The singer is aware that his lover is trouble, and the lyrics suggest that the relationship will ultimately lead to his death. However, he is still drawn to her and is unable to resist her spell. The opening lines "And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb, " suggest that the singer is aware of the risks posed by his relationship with this woman, but he's willing to take them anyway. The lines "But at least we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young, This I know, yeah, this I know" indicate that he finds this love to be so intoxicating that he's convinced it'll be worth his life.
In the chorus, the singer reveals that he can no longer feel his face when he's with her. This numbness is likely a result of drug use or the intense emotions that come with being in a relationship that's both thrilling and dangerous. He acknowledges that this love is bad for him, but at the same time, he can't help but love it.
The lyrics of 'Can't Feel My Face' are about the sort of love that you can't resist, despite its cost. The song is a warning about the dangers of addiction and the extreme lengths that people are willing to go to feed their desires, even if it means sacrificing their life. The Weeknd's voice, coupled with the upbeat, disco-style beat, creates an ironic contrast that highlights the sinister nature of the lyrics.
