After that, The Weeknd leaves the place in his car. But, I guess The Weeknd didn’t like the deal that he has made with him and wants to escape him for some reason. It is pretty strange as to why The Weeknd would shoot him after what he has done for him. Now, if you have seen the ‘Can’t feel my face’ video, this same guy was the one who kickstarts The Weeknd’s career. Now, Abel turns around and shoots this person. We also see a man along with him in the desert. Now, in the video we see Abel burying himself in the sand with a shovel. He could also be referring to someone he knows in the past saying go tell your friends who know The Weeknd about how far he has come and look at what he has become- a guy who sings hit songs about popping p*lls, sleeping with women and living life. After getting money and fame, he has choices to be with whichever woman he wants to when he refers to choices. He is also comparing his past to the life that he is living right now. Lights, no sleep – either you’re going to make it or die trying.

Go tell your friends about it (about it) Go tell your friends about it. They would steal food from the supermarket to feed themselves.Īs soon as I stepped foot in the city, it was a feeling I got addicted to. Go tell your friends about it (about it) Go tell your friends about it (about it) Go tell them what you know, what you seen. Later on, he rented a one bed room appartment.

Apparently he along with his friends used to do petty thefts in order to gain money which they ended up spending to get s*x or probably getting high. He along with his friends were homeless and used to have mattresses in the back of the van. He left high school and ran away from home and moved to Parkdale neighborhood of Toronto.

In the song, The Weeknd is referring to his life in the past. The Weeknd buries himself alive and guns down an eerie-looking old man in the Grant Singer-directed video for Tell Your Friends. Tell your friends is a song by The Weeknd and it is a part of his album ‘Beauty Behind the Madness’.
