The Weeknd - Initiation video free download

Very clever use of autotune to represent different stages of the high. Anyone notice how in lines like "back from the comedown" the pitch is rising suggesting that the effect of the drugs are beginning to be pleasurable again? Then in lines like "I thought I passed my peak and I'm experiencing fall" the pitch is falling as he begins to experience another comedown from the excessive drug use. Also every four or so lines the content of the lyrics seem to change mood which coincides with the change in pitch as when the pitch is low he's talking about how fucked up the drugs have made him (a more darker tone). Whereas when the pitch is high he tends to be talking about how awesome the drugs feel. This constant roller-coaster of peak highs followed by a comedown and then followed by another high is characteristic of the over-abuse of drugs where the user believes the only remedy for a comedown is to simply not stop being high and is ultimately self-destructive. What else is powerful about this song is how the overall message is a story of him trying to entice someone else into his lifestyle of drug abuse. Perhaps because misery loves nothing more that company. Great song.
