Interesting to note is that the track leaked in late-May 2016, about a week before it was officially released. This track came out as the third single from The Weeknd’s second album, “Beauty Behind the Madness”, on 8 June 2015. It is a product of Republic Records, the Universal Music Group and The Weeknd’s own label, XO Records. At the same time, he can’t seem to escape because he’s caught real deep in it and loves it after all. He can’t interact with the outer world or experience any other form of fulfillment. The woman is actually a symbol for the drug, in this case Cocaine, and he can’t feel his face because his sense of feel is impaired when he’s high on the drug. Here, the human disguise of the song fades away. The chorus is repeated severally and emphasis is placed on how he can’t feel his face (again describing numbness) when he’s with her but actually loves it. She, however, tells him that he’ll never love again, which could either mean he will never find true happiness without her, or he will lose his sense of emotion because of the effects of the drug he’s addicted to. This sounds more like an addiction and how her presence even convinces him to carry on with it. He goes on to reveal how this person or thing tells him not to worry about it because they can’t do without it. This easily describes the side-effects of taking cocaine causing numbness, while staying beautiful and young forever could be associated with the high level of energy which eventually results in an early death. If the singer was speaking about a woman, then he was trying to say that although he knows bad things are bound to happen because of her, he feels good and can live forever while he’s with her. The singer begins the song by drawing attention to the fact that he knows this person or thing will cause his death or cause the worst to happen to him, but they’ll both feel numb and stay forever young. It has been widely suggested that it is really about the drug and its effects. The closest form of addiction the song fits is that of Cocaine.

The second perspective is that, the writer could have been using ‘She’ as a symbolic representation of something he’s addicted to, despite its damaging effects on him.
