Conveniently, the next video of the series describes what happens when you are initiated. And, if you are not part of the privileged bloodline, you need to take an oath and bite the proverbial apple. In short, the video is about The Weeknd reaching “the hills” or, in more accurately, the occult elite. The video bears a resemblance to the beginning of the movie Mulholland Drive, which also begins with a car accident in Los Angeles, and a wounded and confused actress walking towards civilization (the entire movie is one big, enigmatic look at the dark side of Hollywood). However, in the context of the video, it can also refer to the elite monitoring their people, especially newcomers, such as The Weeknd. This can refer to people in closed communities knowing about each others’ lives and gossiping their afternoons away. When The Weeknd enters the house, we hear him singing: The song and video both convey a sense of moral corruption in “high society” (as he’s singing to a girl that is committing adultery). In one line of the song, The Weeknd refers to rolling into a “gated residential” to meet the girl. First, the title of the song, “ The Hills”, is often a reference to upper-scale neighborhoods, the most famous one being the Hollywood Hills. At this point, one might understandably wonder what this video has to do with the song, which is about The Weeknd telling a girl from “the hills” (who is cheating on her husband with The Weeknd) that he doesn’t really care about her, among other things.Īs it is the case with most videos with a ritualistic undertone, the true story of the video is in the details.

How did they arrive there so fast … and when did they have time to change? The viewers are meant to understand that there is something supernatural going on here and that perhaps these girls were sent by the shady character to cause the accident and lead The Weeknd to that room.

The two girls laying on the bed are the same two girls who were in the car with The Weeknd.
