Riff: The Weeknd – “Die For You”

Nov 29, 2016

I’m finding ways to manipulate the feelin’ you’re goin’ through/But baby girl, I’m not blamin’ you/Just don’t blame me too, yeah/’Cause I can’t take this pain forever

from Die for You lyrics by The Weeknd

More gentle sobbing, a song inspired by his recent split with his girlfriend. Like all friends who just broke up with their lady he’s being over emotional and sentimental to a throat slashing degree. It’s not totally unlike the Weeknd to get this down on himself, yet it’s a disappointment because every time he digs deep he comes up with the same garbage. A petty effort with no depth.
