Love in the Sky
TheWeeknd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you're free to relax
If you commit to this ride
There's no turning back
You've been here before
Remember these sheets, uh
This world's not for us
It's not what it seems
We'll learn to love how to dream
Dream
You'll learn to love how to dream
Dream, uh
There's no need to hide
Don't overreact
You said you've been to the sky
We'll go beyond that
You've been here before, girl
Remember these sheets
This world's not for us
It's not what it seems
We'll learn to love how to dream
Dream, ey
You'll learn to love how to dream, uh
I could teach you to dream
Oh
We'll find our love in the sky
We'll find our love in the sky
Oh we'll find our love in the sky
Oh
Oh whoah
We'll find our love in the sky
Oh we'll find our love in the sky
Oh we'll find our love in the sky
Oh
Oh
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
How does it feel?
Do you feel like you did before?
Do you see the world getting small?
How does it feel,
Are you free?
As for me, I've been getting grown
As for me, I've been getting old
As for me
I'm been flying around the world
I’ve been killing these shows
But I'm always getting high, 'cause my confidence low
And I'm always in a rush, ain't no time to fuck slow
And even if I try, it's not something I would know
But I'm sure I'll make you cum, do it three times in a row
And I'm sure you would have left with that pussy in control
Put that pussy in control
I got it in control
Oh
Control, control, control
Hm
The lyrics to TheWeeknd's "Love In The Sky" suggest a kind of bedroom escapism, a portal away from the troubles of the real world. The opening lines imply that there is only one person in the room, someone who is encouraged to relax, forget their worries and go along for the ride. This sentiment is mirrored in the repetition of the refrain "We'll learn to love how to dream", which could either be interpreted literally as one slipping into sleep, or more metaphorically as escaping into a state of fantasy. The song suggests that both people in the room have been there before, and are therefore comfortable with each other - this familiarity is underscored by a reference to the sheets.
However, the tone shifts slightly in the second verse - the woman says she has been to the sky before, which suggests that the dream world being created here may not be entirely new, and could have been born out of past experiences. Despite this, they still vow to push forward, to "go beyond that", into uncharted territory. The final moments of the song repeat the refrain again, but with more emphasis on "We'll find our love in the sky". This seems to suggest that the dream world they have created is actually a kind of "love bubble", a space where only they exist and can find happiness, away from the harshness of the outside world.
Overall, "Love In The Sky" is a song about the beauty of escapism, the importance of creating a dreamworld to inhabit with someone you love. The lyrics are vague enough to suggest that this could be happening in real life, or that it could just be a metaphor, a way of saying that being with someone can make the world fall away. TheWeeknd's voice is at its most tender, vulnerable and intimate.

How does it feel?
What's it like?
Do you feel like you did before?
Do you feel like you've experienced this before?
Do you see the world getting small?
Does the world seem insignificant to you?
Are you free?
Do you feel liberated?
As for me, I've been getting grown
I've been maturing
As for me, I've been getting old
I'm getting older
As for me
As far as I'm concerned
I'm been flying around the world
I've been traveling the world
I’ve been killing these shows
I've been performing successfully
But I'm always getting high, 'cause my confidence low
I use drugs to compensate for my low self-esteem
And I'm always in a rush, ain't no time to fuck slow
I'm always in a hurry, no time for intimacy
And even if I try, it's not something I would know
Even if I attempt to enjoy intimacy, I'm not familiar with it
But I'm sure I'll make you cum, do it three times in a row
But I'm confident I can satisfy you sexually
And I'm sure you would have left with that pussy in control
And I'm sure you'd feel empowered by the experience
Put that pussy in control
Let yourself be in charge
I got it in control
I have the situation under control
Control, control, control
Control is important to me
