A trend with The Weeknd’s work seems that with every project of his the tone is set by its introductory song. His cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘Dirty Diana’ capitalized on the ominous sound throughout Echoes of Silence while the mundaneness of ‘Real Life’ was carried throughout his Grammy nominated Beauty Behind the Madness.

The song has a deep and sensible summary, and some interesting connotations, and plus the tone has to be discussed as well. The summary is something really straight forward. The speaker is a person sick and tired of the people of this world. The speaker knows that the best thing to do about this is to wipe on the face of the earth or quote “Let ‘em…
