The shady character/devil walks towards him and appears somewhat irritated.

2 smash in "Can't Feel My Face" and two other Top 10 hits ("The Hills" and "Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)") to show off in 2015. However, if we look at what is currently happening in The Weeknd’s career, he is just entering the great circus that is the entertainment industry. He keeps steadily walking towards a house as if he is magnetically, or magically, attracted to it.

The Weeknd is a Canadian R&B singer who has enjoyed a steady rise in popularity in the past few years. The third video of the series begins with the same element with which the second one ended: Fire. This surreal series of events describes rather aptly how the entertainment industry works. However, in the third video, The Weeknd appears to have realized that the deal with the devil was a bad one. Notice that, in the video when people got on their feet, the song didn’t change. On July 10, Taylor Swift invited The Weeknd on stage for her 1989 World Tour in East Rutherford at the MetLife Stadium. The story begins with a struggling The Weeknd trying to get people to notice him at gigs. The Weeknd performs at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at The Empire Polo Club on April 11, 2015 in Indio, California.

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). And, if you are not part of the privileged bloodline, you need to take an oath and bite the proverbial apple.
Can’t Feel My Face is probably the hit single that led The Weeknd to worldwide fame. The on-fire dance is a huge crowd-pleaser… and also a little reminiscent of Michael Jackson's infamous incident during his Pepsi commercial shoot? The car behind him then explodes.

The Weeknd then realizes that the deal is awful so he buries this new singing creation and shoots the devil.

At first, you work hard, but you get no recognition.

As easily as he can light up a cigarette, the devil can light up The Weeknd’s career. Notice the hills behind him. He then enters a room that is very, very red (the symbolic color of initiation and sacrifice). It is the classic and timeless Faustian tale where fame and success come at a great price, an eternal and spiritual price.

Is he symbolically turning his back on god? The single cover of Can’t Feel my Face features The Weeknd’s face cut in several fragments. 1 on Billboard Artist 100.

At the end of the video, we see The Weeknd walking off stage and outside of the club … and he is still on fire. Immediately after, the masses follow suit and start dancing to the hit that is playing on the radio. This series of videos, therefore, represent The Weeknd’s initiation into the industry … an industry that loves to brag about how it controls its subjects. It symbolically represents the purity and innocence before initiation. Has he become a god himself? This I know, yeah, this I know. If you’re cool, you never look back when something explodes. The video begins with The Weeknd singing his little song in a little club, doing his little dance moves.
The Weeknd performed "Can't Feel My Face" live for the first time at Apple WWDC 2015, the day before its digital release. In other words, being in the industry takes up your entire life.

The Weeknd catches fire and immediately starts busting even cooler dance moves than he was doing before. Through symbolism, the videos describe a dark and occult path to fame.

The video ends with The Weeknd still on fire and looking somewhat concerned about what is happening. Therefore, if we follow these visual clues, the order in which the videos should be viewed is as follows: Can’t Feel My Face (which ends with fire), Tell Your Friends (which begins with fire and ends with a black car) and “The Hills” (which begins with a black car). Although he admits she has a negative influence on him, he … However, the devil is not human and therefore cannot be killed.

Unfortunately, the fire ignited by the devil does not only burn on stage, it burns all the time.

Then, if you’re chosen by the elite, they set you on fire, meaning that they get you working with the right people and put you in the spotlight. Why do they love it now? This most likely refers to the proverbial snake in the Book of Genesis who pushes Adam and Eve to bite the forbidden apple. While the song appears to be about a foul relationship, it doesn’t take much of an in-depth analysis to understand that it is mainly about a drug, probably cocaine, which is known to numb one’s face.
