My brother calls me a hipster, but I reject that. To me, hipsters are somewhat music snobs. But I listen to all kinds of music: Top hits, hip hop, rap, indie, classic rock, folk, alternative rock, R&B, even some country.

| Plastic Surgeon |
I am always open to listening to new things whether or not I like it is a different story. I also love when music becomes mainstream and I believe that fans should always want their artists to achieve success and have the opportunity to share it to others.
My favorite thing about music is that you can always interpret in different ways.
During long car drives, my brother and I started to come up with meanings to different songs. We would come up with a backstory and just have fun with it. This week I’m going to share with you our meaning behind "I Can't Feel My Face" by the Weeknd".
Reinterpreted:
We think that Abel (the Weeknd) is dating a plastic surgeon. This relationship is not too healthy for him because he has become addicted to the surgeries and she gives them to him for free.
Furthermore, this plastic surgeon is also addicted to surgeries. They have deep seeded insecurities that no one will love them with the faces they were born with and so they change them repeatedly.
The Lyrics
Listen to the song on Youtube:
And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
HAMINA: "She creates the best physical features on him but only after the worst part, the actual surgery, comes around."
But at least we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young
This I know, (yeah) this I know
HAMINA: "He knows that once they have their new faces they will be their version of beautiful and look young forever."
She told me, "Don't worry about it"
She told me, "Don't worry no more"
HAMINA: "His girlfriend/surgeon assures him to not worry anymore because the source of their insecurities are gone."
We both knew we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be in love oh oh oooh
HAMINA: "His ho tells him that he will never be in love (because he can't love himself) and he will never be able to go without a surgery. (Someone get this whore an award. GF of the year, perhaps?)"
I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it, but I love it
I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it, but I love it
And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb
HAMINA: "The surgery makes his face feel numb but he love is because it reminds him that he is now perfection. He knows that these surgeries will be his demise but at least he doesn't feel the pain of his insecurities."
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
This I know, yes I know, and I know
HAMINA: "He finally feels confident about himself and believes that all the misery of multiple surgeries was worth it. He knows this without a doubt. But honestly, I don't think he knows shit."
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 in love oh oh oooh
HAMINA: "I am pretty sure she doped him up and is brainwashing him."
I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it, but I love it
I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it, but I love it
I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it, but I love it
I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it, but I love it
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 in love oh oh oooh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it, but I love it
I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it, but I love it
There you have it, this original idea of plastic surgery was from my brother and we just ran with it. So thanks for that hermanito!
Also, I am pretty sure this song is actually about drugs and addictions. I do not condone any of these activities.
If you have your own interpretation let us know!
