oooooooh I get it now

They shot the Blinding Lights video a long time ago and he actually has a behind-the-scenes video of Blinding Lights.
in that video you can see that the police gave him permission to be in the street dancing at night

Yes but he looks like he has a skull thing on his face though but why does he sometimes go video on the road? Not safe

all that he wears on his face was because of the ones that happened to him in Blinding Lights
when the guards beat him and from that moment the face of the album is The Weeknd smiling all beaten

Save your tears is a good song but in the video he got beaten up and that’s why he’s wearing that thing on his face?
