The Weeknd is 25 years old and was born in Ontario, Canada. “Can’t Feel My Face’s” first verse begins on a dark note: “And I know she’ll be the death of me, at least we’ll both be numb.” The song seems to be about a woman who threatens to hurt the narrator. However, he reasons even if she does kill him, they’ll feel nothing together–him because he’ll be dead and her because, apparently, she’s heartless.

“And she’ll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come.” Even if he wants to beat her at her own game or to escape, he’ll never succeed; bad things are practically fated to happen. “But,” he sings, “at least we’ll both be beautiful and stay forever young / This I know, (yeah) this I know.” Youth and beauty are enviable things; while he’s with her he feels these things. At times, she makes him feel good and like he can last forever in a wonderful, golden world.

And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
But at least we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young
This I know, (yeah) this I know

She told me, "Don't worry about it."
She told me, "Don't worry no more."
We both knew we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be alone-oh-oh, whoa

I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh

And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
All the misery was necessary when we're deep in love
Yes I know (yes I know), yeah, I know

She told me, "Don't worry about it."
She told me, "Don't worry no more."
We both knew we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be alone-oh-oh, whoa

I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh

I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh

She told me, "Don't worry about it."
She told me, "Don't worry no more."
We both know we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be alone-oh-oh
Whoa

I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh

I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
