The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Hurt You" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

The song "Hurt You" by The Weeknd conveys the conflicting feelings of the lyrical hero towards his ex-lover. On the one hand, he realizes that the relationship is detrimental to him ("relationships are my enemy"), so he pushes the girl away, warning her of possible pain.

However, behind this bravado hides a desire to possess her only on a physical level. He knows about her heartache, her loneliness and tears, her thoughts of suicide. And instead of support, he offers only momentary solace in sex, realizing that he is causing her even more suffering.

The chorus, repeated throughout the song, sounds like a mantra, like an attempt to convince himself of his unwillingness to cause pain. But the contradiction between the hero's words and actions is obvious. It is as if he is struggling with himself, with an irresistible attraction that leads to the destruction of both him and his ex-lover.
