While all of us talk about getting rid of the old and welcoming in the new during the fall time, the Weeknd is actually doing it. Like several other songs in his genre, the Weeknd sings about how fancy his house is and how much money he's making. But that doesn't seem to totally satisfy him -- he also sings about how empty his house feels and how "we don't pray for love, we just pray for cars." The Weeknd isn't just going to stand by and allow his life to feel this empty anymore. At the very beginning of the music video for this song, we see one version of the Weeknd suffocate the version of the Weeknd that we've known and loved for years. He wants you to know that he's reinventing himself, and he's taking no prisoners. He follows this by destroying everything in his house with a giant cross, making sure to smash all of his old records in the process. Finally, he drives away on an empty highway trying to escape from his old life...and taking a jaguar with him.
