The Weeknd gained widespread critical acclaim for his three mixtapes: House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence, which he later compiled to make a remastered, three-disc album titled Trilogy after signing his record deal with Republic. In 2013, he released Kiss Land, which was considered to be his debut studio album.
In 2014, he dropped “Often,” a remix of Beyonce’s “Drunk In Love,” and “King of the Fall.” The Weeknd released two songs in collaboration with the film Fifty Shades of Grey, with Earned It becoming his solo breakout hit.
His second studio album became highly-anticipated, with riveting singles like The Hills and Can’t Feel My Face leaving fans hungry for more. Beauty Behind the Madness was released on August 28, 2015.
His third studio album, Starboy, was released on November 25, 2016. The Daft Punk-assisted title track led the project as its first official single, released on Wednesday, September 21, 2016, before becoming his third number one track in the United States, as also his home country, Canada. The effort was a commercial success, topping the Billboard 200 albums chart with over 348,000 copies sold in its first week, all eighteen tracks debuting on the Billboard Hot 100, receiving a GRAMMY Award for the Best Urban Contemporary Album, category at the 60th annual ceremony, overall for the second time in his music career and being ranked as the third most popular album of 2017 in the U.S.
Next came the My Dear Melancholy EP, released on March 30, 2018 and revolving around his breakups with Bella Hadid during summer of 2016 and Selena Gomez in October 2017. With the lead single, Call Out My Name, the Canadian singer earned the largest first-day Spotify stream count of any song released in 2018 at that time and his eighth Top 10 entry on Hot 100.
Tesfaye’s fourth studio album (and his first in three years), After Hours was officially released on March 20, 2020, and is named after a 1985 movie directed by his idol, Martin Scorsese. It was primarily supported by November 2019-released singles Heartless and Blinding Lights, with the pair becoming his fourth and fifth #1 singles in the US and the latter his first #1 single in the UK. The title track and In Your Eyes were also released as singles.
Although widely expected to receive multiple nominations for After Hours, Tesfaye failed to receive any nominations for the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards (2021). Tesfaye took to his social media to criticize the Recording Academy, claiming corruption. Speculation arose that the announcement of his then-upcoming Super Bowl performance as well as the discrepancy of being nominated as pop music versus R&B contributed to the snubs. On February 5, 2021 The Highlights was released, as his second greatest hits album. Tesfaye performed at the Super Bowl LV halftime show on February 7, 2021 after announcing he would perform in November 2020. He reportedly spent $7 million on his performance at the show. Despite having a mixed response, the show resulted in a surge in streaming and downloads for Tesfaye's After Hours album as well as for the seven other songs he performed.
His fifth album, Dawn FM was released on January 7, 2022, continuing the writing and production work with Swedish pop svengalis Max Martin and Oscar Holter. The album was preceded by the single Take My Breath in August 2021, with Sacrifice announced as the second single.
Bad
The Weeknd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
(This I know) , yeah, girl, I know
Got a spot down on fifth street
Drinkin' whiskey at the bar
Got some random guy with me
And he doesn't know my name
But he thinks that I'm pretty
Oh, I swear, I'm never gonna drink again
Got a girl with California eyes
And I thought that she could really
Be the one this time
But I never got the chance to make her mine
Because she fell in love with
Little thin white lines
London girl with an attitude
We never told no one, but we look so cute
Both got way better things to do
But I always think about it
When I'm riding through
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 alone", oh, oh
'Cause now I'm dancin' in the dark
Got a spot down on fifth street
Drinkin' whiskey at the bar
Got some random guy with me
And he doesn't know my name
But he thinks that I'm pretty
Oh, I swear, I'm never gonna drink again
I always wanna run outside back door
And shut down the city
Kissing strangers on the back
Wakin' up with some hickies
Took like four too many shots
Hope the hangover kills me
Oh, I swear, I'm never gonna drink again
The lyrics to The Weeknd's song "Bad" explore the aftermath of a toxic relationship and the singer's self-destructive coping mechanisms. 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 that this relationship is not healthy but chooses to indulge in it anyway. The line "And she'll always get the best of me, The worst is yet to come" further emphasizes the destructive nature of the relationship and hints at the impending pain and misery.
The chorus, "All the misery was necessary when, We're deep in love this I know," suggests that despite the pain, the singer believes that this toxic love is somehow necessary. It reflects the idea that sometimes people choose to stay in unhealthy relationships because they are deeply attached or unable to let go. The line "Got a spot down on fifth street, Drinkin' whiskey at the bar" portrays the singer seeking solace in alcohol and numbing their emotions, trying to escape the pain they are experiencing.
The second verse introduces a new love interest, the "girl with California eyes," but it is revealed that their chance at a relationship is lost due to addiction. The line "Because she fell in love with, Little thin white lines" suggests that the singer's addiction to drugs caused them to lose the opportunity for a meaningful connection. The mention of a "London girl with an attitude" highlights the singer's fleeting encounters and casual relationships, suggesting an ongoing pattern of self-destructive behavior.
Overall, the lyrics of "Bad" convey a sense of self-awareness and reflection on the singer's unhealthy relationship choices and addictive tendencies. It portrays the conflicts between longing for love and falling into destructive patterns.
Line by Line Meaning
And I know she'll be the death of me
I am aware that being with her will eventually destroy me
At least we'll both be numb
But at least we'll both be emotionally detached
And she'll always get the best of me
She constantly brings out the most vulnerable side of me
The worst is yet to come
Yet, there is even more pain to endure in the future
All the misery was necessary when
The suffering we experienced together served a purpose
We're deep in love this I know
Because I am deeply in love with her, I am certain
(This I know) , yeah, girl, I know
Yes, girl, I am fully aware of this fact
'Cause now I'm dancin' in the dark
Because of the situation, I find myself lost and confused
Got a spot down on fifth street
I have a place in the city where I often find myself
Drinkin' whiskey at the bar
I frequently consume whiskey at the bar
Got some random guy with me
I am accompanied by a stranger
And he doesn't know my name
This person I'm with is unaware of my identity
But he thinks that I'm pretty
Regardless, he finds me attractive
Oh, I swear, I'm never gonna drink again
I promise myself that I will refrain from drinking in the future
Got a girl with California eyes
I have a girl with captivating eyes like those from California
And I thought that she could really
I believed that she had the potential
Be the one this time
To be the person who would change my previous experiences
But I never got the chance to make her mine
Yet, I never had the opportunity to have her as my own
Because she fell in love with
That is because she developed strong feelings for
Little thin white lines
The use of drugs, specifically cocaine
London girl with an attitude
A girl from London with a distinct personality
We never told no one, but we look so cute
We kept our relationship a secret, but we appeared adorable together
Both got way better things to do
Both of us have more important obligations
But I always think about it
However, I always reflect on it
When I'm riding through
As I am driving around
She told me, "Don't worry about it"
She assured me, "There is no need to be concerned"
She told me, "Don't worry no more"
She conveyed to me, "Stop worrying from this point onwards"
We both know we can't go without it
We both understand that we are dependent on it
She told me, "You'll never be alone", oh, oh
She uttered, "You will always have someone by your side", oh, oh
I always wanna run outside back door
I constantly desire to escape through the rear exit
And shut down the city
And bring the entire city to a standstill
Kissing strangers on the back
Engaging in intimate encounters with unfamiliar individuals
Wakin' up with some hickies
Awakening with visible marks from passionate encounters
Took like four too many shots
I consumed an excessive amount of alcohol, around four shots
Hope the hangover kills me
I wish for the hangover to cause my demise
Oh, I swear, I'm never gonna drink again
I make a solemn vow that I will avoid alcohol in the future

Swish, bih
Move that shit out here
You full off one sip
Fallin' off but I got grip
All around the trap, it hit
All around the map, you trip
Take it like nine out of ten
Think they gon' find that again
Think I gotta bond out again
Behind the tint, I sin, I vent
Can't forget about that place we went
Right after you put that in my head
Do you still pop 'em? Do you dance?
Do you still drop some'? Know you can
I got a lot, but I'm still chancin'
Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Hace tiempo no te veo, eh
Es que ahora en Miami jangueo, eh, eh
Ya no tengo la Rodeo
Ahora en la G-Wagon, spoteo, ey
Y te lo meto al frente de la playa
Como aquello' tiempo' de camino a Maya
Tú ni fumaba' y, chingando, te arrebaté
Dale, no pierdas tiempo, no lo piense', trépate
Tú bien loca, loca
Yo bien loco, loco
Si ahora tu mai nos pilla
Me pide una foto
La nota me explota
El ticke' lo exploto
Vamo' pa' Cayo Musha
Ya le texteé al piloto, eh-eh

Ooh-ooh (mm-mm, mm-mm)

Mix the drugs with the pain
Let the waves lead the way
You in Cannes and Saint-Tropez

You know I'm wrong in my face, uh
You know I'm high off that K-pop
Rubbin' up on your body
All your clothes, you gon' take off
South of France, we gon' party

You come back on this side
When shit get back cooler, cooler
We run it back one time

Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah (uno)

To those who are still seeking, still questioning, still not sure about their faith, here's an invitation.
Understand that we, as humans, are limited. We often make mistakes, go astray, and lose our way. It's not about perfection; no one is. As it is stated in Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
Recognize that actions alone won't bring ultimate salvation. It's not about counting good deeds against the bad. Ephesians 2:8-9 teaches, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
Believe in the transformative power of love and forgiveness embodied in Jesus Christ. He laid down His life so we could find ours. The Bible states in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
True change and enlightenment come when we turn away from our old life and towards a new one – one guided by compassion, love, and humility. Acts 3:19 says, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord."
Express your faith, not only in words but also in actions. Embrace love, kindness, and righteousness, just like how Jesus lived His life. As Romans 10:9 suggests, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Consider baptism, a symbolic gesture of your new journey, your decision to leave the old behind, and embark on a new life in Him. Matthew 28:19 encourages us, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
Lastly, remain steadfast. Consistency in following Jesus and His teachings is the key. As Jesus says in John 14:15, "If you love me, keep my commands."
This is not a demand but a warm invitation. ...nn

La verdad no cuadra el sonido con travis hubiera sido mejor otro artista americano la neta, eso de explotar al gay bunnis no tiene un ritmo no cuadra, no es por el hate pero el sonido de travis tiene un toque y escuchar español es solo por que las masas se interesen más en el
