The meaning of the lyrics of the song "The Hills (Eminem Remix)" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

Contents

Eminem's remix of The Hills delves into a toxic and passionate relationship with a woman already in a relationship.

The first verse immediately immerses us in an atmosphere of secret encounters and forbidden love. Eminem's lyrical character is thrilled by the woman's availability but acknowledges the danger: "if he knew I was here, he'd kill me." Eminem doesn't hide his dark side, promising her a storm of emotions and experiences, comparing himself to a "drug that's got you feeling obsessed." He sees the same darkness in her, hinting at her duality. Their relationship is like flying a "fucked up plane" – risky and unpredictable.

The Weeknd's chorus complements the picture, showing that the hero seeks only fleeting pleasure: "I only call you when it's half past five... I only love it when you touch me, not feel me." Both characters seek solace in physical intimacy, hiding from reality under the influence of "getting high."

The second verse continues the theme of toxicity. Eminem plays the role of a friend comforting a woman who constantly returns to him after fights with her boyfriend. He doesn't believe her promises to leave him, seeing in her only a desire for thrills. Eminem points out her hypocrisy: "you just want to play innocent, still running around with a guilty conscience." He feels used, realizing that for her it's just a fling: "you're cheating on him, that just means I'm another one of your exes."

The final lines, sung in Amharic, sound like bitter irony, contrasting with the overall mood of the song. The phrase "I love you very much" takes on a sarcastic connotation, showing that there is no real love in this relationship.

The image of "hills have eyes" from the horror film of the same name symbolizes an all-seeing eye watching their sins. The characters try to hide their lies, but the "hills" see everything, reminding them of the consequences of their actions.

[Verse 1: Eminem]

Said you want a little company

And I love it cause the thrill's cheap

Said you left him for good this time

Still if he knew I was here, he'd wanna kill me

But it's time you met the real me, filthy

But wasn't always, will be

Your pill refill, feeling I'll still be

Your addiction, you can touch a prescription, but don't fill me

I let you see my dark side, but like a mic check, you got one too

So when the sparks fly, we hit the flight deck and got sprung, pew

Like an ejector seat, from an F-15

But tonight we don't need those pills, just the effects of each other

But we gon' film cause I will want your ex to see

(Get it?) that...

[Chorus: The Weeknd]

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 fuck 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

[Verse 2: Eminem]

And every time he hurt you, I heard you

Your shoulder to cry on

And I'll be damned if I weren't who you turned to

You said he drove you to my arms

But don't you know, remember when I told you

I would never let down my guard

And I hope you feel like dirt when I hold you

Cause is it really over?

But you just want a little company

And you just really wanna thrill seek

Said you left him for good this time

Bullshit, what your friends do, spill beans?

Or you just wanna be guilt free and still creep

But these hills see, from that POV

We can touch but the only way you'll film me

Is with a camera, feel me?

You're nothing but a barfly

You got your sights set on the one who you run to

But I'm a far cry from what you might get, if we come true

So keep texting me, but at night, if you seek those thrills

What I expect to be?

Cause if you cheat on him just means I will be the next to be

Your ex, so no complexities, just sex

And don't lecture me, just accept that...

[Chorus: The Weeknd]

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 fuck 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

[Bridge: The Weeknd]

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

[Chorus: The Weeknd]

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 fuck 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

[Outro: The Weeknd]
