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

In the song "Pretty," The Weeknd sings about a toxic relationship with a girl where he acts as a selfish lover. He knows that the girl is not happy with another man and is waiting for him to return. He admits it's foolish to go back to her, but his ego is flattered by the thought that she belongs to him. He doesn't offer her love or stability, only temporary satisfaction when he's in town. The chorus "And you'll never feel quite as good, / You'll never feel quite as pretty, / As when I'm here" emphasizes his manipulative behavior: he elevates himself by convincing the girl that only he can make her happy.

## Русский:

Внезапно текст обрывается, переходя к отрывку, возможно, из дневника или воспоминаний. Этот отрывок контрастирует с предыдущим текстом, показывая нам лирического героя с другой стороны - способного на глубокие чувства и преданность. Он наблюдает за девушкой на протяжении десяти лет, видя её боль и одиночество. Фраза "в то время она была всего лишь девчушкой" говорит о том, что он старше её и, возможно, испытывает к ней отеческие чувства. Финал оставляет много вопросов: как связаны эти две части? Что случилось с девушкой? Какую роль сыграл лирический герой в её жизни?

The text suddenly breaks off, transitioning to an excerpt, possibly from a diary or memories. This excerpt contrasts with the previous text, showing us the lyrical hero from a different angle - capable of deep feelings and devotion. He observes the girl for ten years, seeing her pain and loneliness. The phrase "at that time she was just a little girl" suggests that he is older than her and may have paternal feelings for her. The ending leaves many questions: how are these two parts connected? What happened to the girl? What role did the lyrical hero play in her life?

[Verse 1:]

Somebody tellin' you it was pointless

For me to come back into your arms,

Said you fucked another man,

Finally, I knew this day would come.

‘Cause I see fear in your eyes,

You've been livin' out your life,

As long as you know that when I land, you're mine.

It's been exactly 365 since I've seen your face,

I've been livin' on the road,

And you've been livin' all alone at home.

Girl, I hope, he made you satisfied,

Well, baby, I won't cry

As long as you know that when I land, you're mine.

[Chorus:]

And you will never feel so pretty,

And you will never feel this beautiful

When I make it there,

Oh, when I make it there.

[Verse 2:]

There are certain things that I've come to understand,

Expectations can kill a simple man, simple man.

I try to master the art of that far away love

Only so much can keep a woman warm.

Now it's times like this that I say to myself,

“We've been livin' in a cold, cold world,

But at least, I have you to rely

Even if for a short time,

As long as you know when I land, you're mine”.

[Chorus — x3:]

And you will never feel so pretty,

And you will never feel this beautiful

When I make it there,

Oh, when I make it there.

And he can't make you feel this pretty,

And he won't make you feel this beautiful

When I make it there,

Oh, when I make it there.

Quand une putain de colombe blanche chante sa chanson,

C'est tout ce qu'on entend.

Les jours se défilent comme de la ficelle dans le vent

Embobinée dans ma toile, je les dévoile ? nouveaux

Dix ans mon ami, que ne rien d'autre compte

Elle n'était qu'une gamine ? ce moment

Souffrant d'un cœur brisé, une douleur très profonde.

C'est l? où je l'ai aperçue, seule, prête ? entamer ses dix-sept ans
