The Weeknd is undoubtedly one of those musicians whose new song releases can drive the Internet’s focus. He previously performed it with the song Nothing Is Lost from the music to Avatar 2, and he will do it once more in April 2023 with Double Fantasy. This song was made in conjunction with American rapper Future, and it may be heard on The Idol, an HBO series that will premiere in 2023 and include Future and Lily Rose-Deep as two of the main characters. In this post, however, we can already learn more about the song’s significance. Let’s examine the song, and you’ll also find the whole lyrics there.
You can watch the official video for Double Fantasy by The Weeknd and Future below.
Double Fantasy: the lyrics & their meaning
Double Fantasy talks about being in a relationship while experiencing an internal conflict.In the lyrics, the main character readily acknowledges his attraction to his companion, and the feeling is reciprocal. But they both understand that being together is wrong.
Music has frequently expressed its perspective on the subject, which typically occurs when you fall in love with the wrong person. The lyrics of Double Fantasy appear to be more conscious. Recognizing that this relationship is flawed doesn’t hurt, and the chorus makes this point quite clear:
Even though it’s wrong
It’s wrong
Even though it’s wrong, baby
The rest, however, is still true. The attraction is so strong that they both want each other. When they are in an intimate setting together, there can still be something unusual that comes out at those moments, some words of contention. However, they each have portions of themselves that yearn to be together. From this vantage point, taking pleasure in those moments would necessitate telling a small lie, convincing ourselves that being together is right, and leaving us to that moment.
You want me inside it, beg me to slide in
Knowing we should have never met
Girl, when you ride it, see you decide it
Don’t say those words that you’ll regret
Baby girl, I can tell that you think that I’m right for you
I already know that it’s not true, but girl, I’ll lie to you
Future’s verses provide the scene a little bit of meaning by mentioning poison, demons, murder, and regret. Since the sensations are so powerful, sticking together is more important. Despite the fact that it seems false, they both have this condition. If a lie rewards us with such amazing feelings, is it still worth a period of our lives?
We do the things, but we know it’s wrong
All on my skin, you all in my palm
I sent you an envelope, came with a poem
You possess venom, that came with a charm
After all, this is the true meaning of the song’s lyrics: we both understand that being together is inappropriate and that it is wrong. But we are so desperate for each other. What harm, in the end, could it do if we allowed ourselves to enjoy these feelings a bit more?
The complete lyrics
Temperature risin’, bodies united
Now that I trapped you in my arms
No need to fight it, no need to hide it
Now that I see what’s in your heart
Baby girl, I’m the only one who knows this side of you
And baby, you know that I can pull out what’s inside of you
Even though it’s wrong
It’s wrong
Even though it’s wrong, baby
My girl
Oh-oh-oh
You want me inside it, beg me to slide in
Knowing we should have never met
Girl, when you ride it, see you decide it
Don’t say those words that you’ll regret
Baby girl, I can tell that you think that I’m right for you
I already know that it’s not true, but girl, I’ll lie to you
Even though it’s wrong (Yeah, yeah)
It’s wrong (Yeah, yeah)
Even though it’s wrong, baby (Yeah, yeah)
My girl (Yeah)
Oh-oh-oh
We do the things, but we know it’s wrong
All on my skin, you all in my palm
I sent you an envelope, came with a poem
You possess venom, that came with a charm
You get the good out me when I perform
I know the bad in you, that’s what I want
And you a baddie, you turnin’ me on
Fiend for your demons, I know where this goin’
Love when you f–kin’ me, talkin’, I know what you doin’
Caught up in love, what the f–k is we doin’?
Models and bottles with us, ain’t nothin’ to it
I tell you “I got you”, that’s well understood
Your legs on the bed, got your head on the floor
We go out shoppin’ whenever we get bored
We get it poppin’, leave nothin’ in the store
If I go to Saturn, I know that you goin’
f–k me on Saturday, early in the mornin’
Flyer than a bird, she gon’ open her door
Screamin’ out murder, but showin’ you remorse
Gotta be cautious, can’t pay the support
Stars in the ceilin’, don’t feel like a Porsche
Came from the trenches, just livin’ at war
Once was a prostitute, I can afford you
The one I adore
Temperature risin’, bodies united
Now that I trapped you in my arms
No need to fight it, no need to hide it
Now that I see what’s in your heart
Baby girl, I’m the only one who knows this side of you
And baby, you know that I can pull out what’s inside of you
Even though it’s wrong
It’s wrong
Even though it’s wrong, baby
My girl
