The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Heartless" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

Contents

The song "Heartless" by The Weeknd is a confession of an artist trapped in an emotional dead end. The lyrical hero, bathed in luxury and success, feels inner emptiness and alienation.

He openly admits his inability to love and form attachments, calling himself "heartless." Constant partying, casual relationships, and drug abuse are his way of drowning out his emotional pain and loneliness. He is aware of the viciousness of such a lifestyle but sees no way out, considering himself a "heartless bastard for life".

There is a glimmer of hope for salvation in the song in the face of the lyrical heroine. Despite his lifestyle, she did not turn away from him, giving a glimmer of warmth and humanity. However, the hero himself is not sure if he is worthy of her love and if he will ever be able to break out of this vicious circle.

[Intro:]

(Sheesh)

I shouldn't rush it.

[Verse 1:]

Never need a bitch, I'm what a bitch need, (Bitch need)

Tryna find the one that can fix me,

I've been dodgin' death in the six speed,

Amphetamine got my stummy feelin' sickly.

Yeah, I want it all now,

I've been runnin' through the pussy, need a dog pound,

Hundred models gettin' faded in the compound,

Tryna love me, but they never get a pulse down.

[Chorus:]

Why? 'Cause I'm heartless,

And I'm back to my ways 'cause I'm heartless,

All this money and this pain got me heartless,

Low life for life 'cause I'm heartless.

Said I'm heartless,

Tryna be a better man, but I'm heartless,

Never be a weddin' plan for the heartless,

Low life for life 'cause I'm heartless.

[Verse 2:]

Said I'm heartless,

So much pussy, it be fallin' out the pocket,

Metro Boomin turn this ho into a moshpit,

Tesla pill got me flyin' like a cockpit.

Yeah, I got her watchin',

Call me up, turn that pussy to a faucet,

Duffle bags full of drugs and a rocket,

Stix drunk, but he never miss a target.

Photoshoots, I'm a star now, (Star)

I'm talkin' Time, Rolling Stone, and Bazaar now, ('Zaar)

Sellin' dreams to these girls with their guard down, (What?)

Seven years, I've been swimmin' with the sharks now.

[Chorus:]

Why? 'Cause I'm heartless,

And I'm back to my ways 'cause I'm heartless,

All this money and this pain got me heartless,

Low life for life 'cause I'm heartless.

Said I'm heartless,

Tryna be a better man, but I'm heartless,

Never be a weddin' plan for the heartless,

Low life for life 'cause I'm heartless.

[Bridge:]

I lost my heart and my mind,

I try to always do right,

I thought I lost you this time,

You just came back in my life.

You never gave up on me, (Why don't you?)

I'll never know what you see, (Why won't you?)

I don't do well when alone, (Oh yeah)

You hear it clear in my tone.

[Chorus:]

'Cause I'm heartless,

And I'm back to my ways 'cause I'm heartless,

All this money and this pain got me heartless,

Low life for life 'cause I'm heartless.

Said I'm heartless,

Tryna be a better man, but I'm heartless,

Never be a weddin' plan for the heartless,

Low life for life 'cause I'm heartless.
