Ending the Trilogy on the break of dawn is also an interesting paradox in itself; the dramatic events of this project were immersed in the night and can finally close as a new, peaceful morning ensues. In an interview with Beats 1, Abel said that such darkness is good to have because “when the light comes it feels that much better.”
This song also continues an underlying theme of Abel’s imminent rise to the mainstream, as he notes that he already knows what to prepare for from his fans.
The third teaser for Trilogy includes this song as audio, showcasing what could be Valerie trying to outrun the lights of a chasing car, or the Sun. The image painted here draws another allusion to David Lynch’s Lost Highway.
Till Dawn
The Weeknd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be over you eventually
Time after time, you seem to brush me off
I understand what we have become
You wash your neck when you leave, now I know your routine
I was in love with your mystery
Now I'll just take what I can get from you
I'm not embarrassed to be what you want me to be
Cause unlike you, I got nothing to hide
I don't pretend to have any shame
I got a box you can put all your lies in
Until the end of days
You know that I will be a call away
The call you'll make when you're all alone
And I know that I will always be the one
You repent when you are done
Well, here comes the sun
And you're in my arms
And my denial keeps me on the edge of the chance
That you'll stay through the night
You just wanna fill the void now
I can tell that you've been yelling at him all night long
And I can hear it in your voice now
He got you smoking extra packs a day
Don't you worry 'bout me talking
I know why you've been coming
I'll be quiet, this ain't nothing to me
Just wrap your legs around my waist
I won't stop until you ask me
Don't you worry about us messing up my sheets
I don't pretend to have any shame
I got a box you can put all your lies in
Until the end of days
And know that I will be a call away
The call you'll make when you're all alone
And I know that I will always be the one
You repent when you are done
Well, here comes the sun
And you're in my arms
And my denial keeps me on the edge of the chance
That you'll stay through the night
Well, here comes the sun
You're in my arms
My denial keeps me on the edge of the chance
That you'll stay through the night
You're gonna hate him
Then you'll want me
Then you'll miss him
Then you'll hate me
Girl, I know you so well (girl, I know you so well)
Girl, I know your routine (yes, I know your routine)
You're gonna hate him (hate him)
Then you'll want me (want me)
Then you'll miss him (baby)
Then you'll hate me
Girl, I know you so well (girl, I know you so well)
Girl, I know your routine (ouuh-oh)
Well, here comes the sun
And you're in my arms
And my denial keeps me on the edge of the chance
That you'll stay through the night
Well, here comes the sun
You're in my arms
My denial keeps me on the edge of the chance
That you'll stay through the night
The lyrics of The Weeknd's song "Till Dawn" speaks of a failing relationship between two people. The singer seems to be aware of the situation that they are in and tells himself that he will take his partner for the last time. He is aware that their love is not what it used to be as his partner seems to keep brushing him off. He is in love with the mystery that surrounds her, but he has nothing to hide in contrast to his partner. He is willing to be whoever his partner wants him to be because he wants to make it work.
The singer realizes that his partner has been with someone else and is seeking comfort from him. He understands his place in the situation but vows to be there for his partner when she needs him. He has no intention of complicating things or causing any drama, and he'll be quiet about their situation. But the singer knows that the relationship his partner has is unstable, and she'll keep coming back to him again and again. The song ends with the singer admitting that he is in denial, which keeps him hoping that his partner will stay.
