It’s about Bella . “Chrome hearts around her neck going wild” Bella is know for collaboration with fashion company chrome hearts she did a sunglasses line with them
Yeah it's about Selena. You think your kindness is so weak => Kill em with kindness? She gave a Ellen DeGeneres interview saying that people treat my kindness as weakness.
Rishikesh Nair Well, overall theme of Escape from L.A is about cheating, and the one he cheated on is Bella. Not to mention, I think MDM was ending to his chapter with Selena
Holy shit, your content - breaking down the lyrics, noticing details on the beat, and even callin out metro boomin's hi hat pattern, it takes someone who is passionate about music to do this and you definitely earned a sub from me bro.
Bro your reactions are so good man, I’m sitting here every single day waiting for you to release the next song!! I just joined this channel and I already love it!!!
This is why I love your channel and your commentary. I've seen a few people talk about not liking the second half of this song because it's "typical Weeknd talking about fucking with no substance" or that it isn't as "insightful" as the first part, but I never would've made that parallel to the girl coming to the studio being the actual city of LA as opposed to a person. Super interesting and plausible theory.
Without doubt my favourite track on the album. It's so layered and just stinks of The Weeknd as we know him. Excited to see you do Until I bleed out too...
Hey Earnest. I just wanted to see the reaction but you earned my subscribe by the way you articulated the entire creative. I learnt something new. I also learnt the importance of storytelling and how setting up the environment gives depth and support to the story. Cheers man!
yoo,@ 12:00 is always my reaction when Weeknd does these transitions (i was never there,Love in the sky,Acquainted etc.) Anticipations so high im like "AWWW SHIEEEET WHATS ABEL GONNA DO NOW?!) goes hard everytime. Best channel for react content & knowledge,i feel like im going to school when i click on the 3rd Fam.
It shows weeknd gone through a lot of things in his relations...and now he jumps from his reality to what he thinks he should be and the relating sentiments of blues and overlooking into his own situations...all moods are tight af are deep drunk ....great reviews #TheThirdErnest and it's totally dope.....waiting for more tracks on the album.....keep up the great work bro...🙌🙌🙌
I only noticed this because I watched the lyric video yesterday but in the chorus he alternates between saying "take me out LA" and "take me out of LA" like he is exhausted of the life and is begging for LA to just finish him off. Or for someone to just get him out of there because he is so worn-down he doesn't have the strength to pick up and leave on his own: No, this place is never what it seems Take me out LA Take me out of LA This place will be the end of me Take me out LA Take me out of LA
Love you reactions!! I didn't even think about the sex in the studio part representing LA as a whole. Can't wait for you to react to Faith! You're going to be shook!
My dude!!! Been checking out your reactions for like 2 weeks....and you know your shit. The fact you called out the Metro Boomin production without the producer tag at beginning. Besides myself you're one of few I've seen can call out some producers unique sound. Finally subbed.
also you forgot to mention the play on words from when he said “take me out LA” vs “take me out OF LA” take me out LA meaning he feels like LA is killing him inside and will eventually take him out mentally. tell me your thoughts on this🤔
whenever you sing in the beginning, i can always guess correctly on what song you are singing because i spend too much time listening to weeknd. Honestly tho, there's never enough.
“If you seen what I seen you wouldn’t be able to sleep”, one of the reasons on why he was trying to escape but being locked in LA due to the contracts and the women and the lifestyle
Nope. Selena Gomez. She's the one he wanted to get back with but she kept saying no. Plus al the songs about wanting to get back with her. Plus he gave her everything she wanted. But none of that matters to you. With bella, she wanted to get with him. He said in a song his feelings are gone and they slept in different beds. Plus, he got with bellas best friend. He wouldn't have done that if he wanted to get back with him.
@@nidzaboricua3294 you both are wrong Escape from LA feels like The Weeknd's personal letter about how the LA lifestyle can destroy relationships. It’s not just about one person; it’s about the toxic culture of fame, fake love, and superficiality. The line ‘LA girls all look the same’ screams how shallow things have become, and you can feel his frustration and disillusionment with it all. This isn’t just a breakup song; it’s a whole vibe of escaping fake connections and finding something real. Abel really poured his soul into this one. So yeah.. it's not about just one person.
Bro said it sounds like metro boomin but the fact is this song is actually produced by metro boomin not just this song but heartless, faith and until I bleed out as well
This may be a top 5 Weeknd song for me across all tapes. Shits insane.
Same
I loved snow child but then Into this. Both are insane for me.
probably the best breakdowns on yt🔥
not probably, they are🔥🔥
wow he is magic
*top best Metalcore breakdowns*
It’s about Bella . “Chrome hearts around her neck going wild” Bella is know for collaboration with fashion company chrome hearts she did a sunglasses line with them
kicksquad This exact part isn’t about her though....
Yeah it's about Selena.
You think your kindness is so weak => Kill em with kindness?
She gave a Ellen DeGeneres interview saying that people treat my kindness as weakness.
Rishikesh Nair no, entire first and second verse is about Bella
@@DrCrimson_ you sure ? Coz that kindness part is pretty apparent. Can you give examples?
Rishikesh Nair Well, overall theme of Escape from L.A is about cheating, and the one he cheated on is Bella. Not to mention, I think MDM was ending to his chapter with Selena
Bro wtf. You made me notice stuff about this song I overlooked. Respect.
enjoying this series man, really makes me take in each track individually
Holy shit, your content - breaking down the lyrics, noticing details on the beat, and even callin out metro boomin's hi hat pattern, it takes someone who is passionate about music to do this and you definitely earned a sub from me bro.
Best Weeknd reviews on YT.
I appreciate it!
I want to listen to this song for the first time again
Escape from LA.. what’s next to LA? Las Vegas (Heartless)
You messed up my head I ain’t even notice that
broooo, im blown away with your comment! damn! Thanks bro!!!!
Ohhh wow I couldn't think of that! That's genius!
Dawg this is the smartest and most well spoken youtuber who reacts and reacts with such intelligence! Fuck you got me as a subscriber bro
Bro your reactions are so good man, I’m sitting here every single day waiting for you to release the next song!! I just joined this channel and I already love it!!!
Only get a 20 min break here at work. And I’m using my time wisely! Don’t let me down brah
Bryant Moore ME TOO LMFAOO that’s crazy
What if I told you it is Metro Boomin.
It's metro boomin?!
@@actuallyarnav yes
How did he know tho?! 🤯
@Aidan Gingras or you could just look at the credits on Spotify, or go to lyrics on genius, and see the credits there
This is why I love your channel and your commentary.

How have I only just found this dude man? Broke this down amazing. Next level bro
Without doubt my favourite track on the album. It's so layered and just stinks of The Weeknd as we know him. Excited to see you do Until I bleed out too...
your reactions are one of the best ones! the details you touch no one ever thinks about that! I guess you react to The Weeknd the best way possible!!
Hey Earnest. I just wanted to see the reaction but you earned my subscribe by the way you articulated the entire creative. I learnt something new. I also learnt the importance of storytelling and how setting up the environment gives depth and support to the story. Cheers man!
Also “in your eye” music video out!!!😁
Just realized what you did on 4:26 with the album cover in the bottom right. The subtle details >
yoo,@ 12:00 is always my reaction when Weeknd does these transitions (i was never there,Love in the sky,Acquainted etc.)
Anticipations so high im like "AWWW SHIEEEET WHATS ABEL GONNA DO NOW?!)
goes hard everytime.

No, this place is never what it seems
Take me out LA
Take me out of LA
This place will be the end of me
Take me out LA
Take me out of LA
Omg that's so cool, this is one of his best songs, for me it's easily in top 5
Yes!! Exactly THIS comment right here👏👏💯
All your weeknd reactions are 🔥
I loved what you did with the album art in the middle, noticed that 🙌🏼🔥
Love you reactions!! I didn't even think about the sex in the studio part representing LA as a whole.
Can't wait for you to react to Faith! You're going to be shook!

Can’t wait for Faith, enjoy the detailed breakdowns keep it up g
Great song and breakdown and your thoughts. You rock
5:20 am here in India, roll it!

Damn this breakdown nailed it men huge respect ❤️❤️
Pow pow pow 💥 💥 💥 3rd Fam! Let’s go!
This dude is underrated lol He the goat 🐐 nobody breaks down music 🎶 like this
Amazing video❤️❤️❤️ just started but Ik u don’t ever disappoint
Love these reactions. Keeping me going while we're on lockdown in the UK 🇬🇧
11:50 ~ Reminds me so much of Mac Quayle's scoring work on Mr. Robot!
Can't wait for the In Your Eyes new video reaction, dope and insightful as always
Faith best track.
personally i like this one the best, brings back old weeknd vibes and that breakdown/callout at the end is just hard
Snow child
Escape from LA, Repeat After Me, Snowchild, Hardest to Love and even Too Late >>>> Faith
Rewatching this because XO XO season lives forever.
Been waiting all day 😂🙌
also you forgot to mention the play on words from when he said “take me out LA” vs “take me out OF LA” take me out LA meaning he feels like LA is killing him inside and will eventually take him out mentally. tell me your thoughts on this🤔
ju ju I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!
i thought take me out la was meaning he’s conflicted with going out or trying to stay sober
@Santiago Vazquez But they lived in NYC, when they broke up, he moved to LA
I think he says take me *outta* LA
Cought that too
I love how you legit analyze
whenever you sing in the beginning, i can always guess correctly on what song you are singing because i spend too much time listening to weeknd. Honestly tho, there's never enough.
🔥🔥 breakdown as usual
Right On Time my man!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
“If you seen what I seen you wouldn’t be able to sleep”, one of the reasons on why he was trying to escape but being locked in LA due to the contracts and the women and the lifestyle
In the anime Constantine slept with the embodiment of L.A so he might be actually talking about the city
Excellent review! Did you also hear the subtle ring tone before he starts talking about the studio? Chills!
One of the best songs of 2020
I like how he says “This sounds like Metro Boomings production!” And doesn’t Even realize Metro Booming produced this song.
Faith and Until I Bleed Out.. among other tracks lol this album classic
Cant wait for faith oh myyyyy
TONIGHTTT
ROLL IT!!!
Just caught up on all of these. It's really good and excellent reactions of course!
For my opinion this is sadder than until I bleed out because the way it ends
Bro do heartless again let's see how it fits in chronological order, same goes with blinding lights
nothing without you a banger for sure
it was metroboomin
Were finally getting "Faith" next! I gurantee itll be in his top 3!
You never lieddddddd!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@TheThirdErnest That might be one of metros coldest beats tho imo!
Waiting for faith reaction
That 5 panel hat is 🔥 and great review.
I was explaining this theory to my wife and it make us look at the song way differently. Music is fucking cool man
Are you going to do reaction videos to the remixes on AfterHours Deluxe
Yes
Immediately thought of The Doors LA Woman when you went over the LA simile!
I got you 2 words: Bella Hadid.
Nope. Selena Gomez. She's the one he wanted to get back with but she kept saying no. Plus al the songs about wanting to get back with her. Plus he gave her everything she wanted. But none of that matters to you. With bella, she wanted to get with him. He said in a song his feelings are gone and they slept in different beds. Plus, he got with bellas best friend. He wouldn't have done that if he wanted to get back with him.

Did anyone else catch the "Lonely Star-esque" sounds in the background when he ends the chorus the first few times?
I cant wait for you to reach faith!! You're going to love it
Goddamn. What a reaction.
This is my favorite but faith is really good!
That pretty intro :')
you should add midroll ads you'd make a lot more and people wouldn't care
All these vids get copyright flagged and he would make 0.00 for them. Merch and Patreon to help him make a few bucks.
this is great
Best song on After Hours
Keep it up 🔥🔥
Anyone noticed the sounds of the girl crying sobbing in the background of the hook sounds like the girl crying in the Birds pt 2 ?
Do the In Your Eyes vid please
Bro said it sounds like metro boomin but the fact is this song is actually produced by metro boomin not just this song but heartless, faith and until I bleed out as well
I’m hyped
Are you wearing a HAMILTON shirt?! THAT’S MY FAVOURITE MUSICAL EVER!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great reaction too by the way 👍
This one my favs!!too💥💥Do u listen the songs b4 reviews?? Just curious...#afterhours.. #albumoftheyear 💥💥👏🏿👏🏿
this song is hhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrdddddddddddddddddd, 10/10
Jesus that singing caught me off guard
Best song by THEWEEKND
The sound reminds me of “Fall for your type” - Jamie Fox. Or is that just me?
Yeah, I kinda picked that up as well. ...
Damn that’s a solid ass track. Classic drake. You could tell he wrote it
Why are people pressing the thumbs down button I swear these hatersss
Sure hope that when you do the breakdown for "In Your Eyes" you'll also critique the video he dropped for it today because fuck. 🤯 🥺
The best guy!
The beat reminds me a lot of True Colors, anyone catch that too? Love your breakdown. Greatings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Porsche spyder is a car ... My dude 😂👍
Roll it!
PS. I got a lot going on, so I haven't been able to watch any of the recent vids, just popping in for support
