The Hills
The Weeknd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Your man on the road, he doin' promo
You said, "Keep our business on the low-low"
I'm just tryna get you out the friendzone
'Cause you look even better than the photos
I can't find your house, send me the info
Drivin' through the gated residential
Found out I was comin', sent your friends home
Keep on tryna hide it but your friends know

I only call you when it's half past five
The only time that I'll be by your side
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, yeah
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, babe

I'ma let you know, we keep it simple
Tryna keep it up don't seem so simple
I just fucked two bitches 'fore I saw you
And you gon' have to do it at my tempo
Always tryna send me off to rehab
Drugs started feelin' like it's decaf
I'm just tryna live life for the moment
And all these motherfuckers want a relapse

I only call you when it's half past five
The only time that I'll be by your side
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, yeah
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, babe

Hills have eyes, the hills have eyes
Who are you to judge? Who are you to judge?
Hide your lies, girl, hide your lies
Only you to trust, only you

I only call you when it's half past five
The only time that I'll be by your side
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, yeah
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, babe

Overall Meaning

The Weeknd's hit song "The Hills" speaks about a complicated relationship between the singer and a woman who wants to keep their business private. The song talks about the singer trying to leave the friendzone and make the relationship more than just a physical one. The repetitive chorus, "I only love it when you touch me, not feel me, When I'm fucked up, that's the real me," suggests that the singer is using drugs and alcohol to numb his emotions and feel like himself. The song also talks about how the singer is looked down upon by society for his lifestyle choices, but he believes that only the woman he is with truly knows and understands him.

Teacher in the hall having a convo
You said keep our business on the low-low
I'm just tryna get them chemistry notes tho
'cuz your grades are better than the whole class so
even if you scared, give me the info 
When I'm done I'll bring them by your desk bro 
Found out I was coming, shook your head no 
Keep on tryna hide it but she won't know 

I only call you when it's half past two.  
The only time I can get notes from you.
I only trust them when it's chemistry, not biology. 
Cuz you really suck, at biology
Yeah you really suck at biology, sorry 

I'ma let you know and keep it simple, 
Tryna write these quickly aint that simple 
I just had two classes 'fore I saw you
So just let me copy at my tempo 
Always tryna tell me "go to the labs"
But that sounds so boring, I'd need decaf
I'm just tryna stay out of remedial class  
And teachers always expect for me to relapse
