The Real Meaning Behind The Weeknd’s Starry Eyes
The Weeknd isn’t one to keep his romantic relationships completely private, given how he’s openly spoken about some of his exes like Bella Hadid and Selena Gomez. But it all changed when The Weeknd was spotted having dinner with Angelina Jolie on two separate occasions. Neither of them has admitted to being in a romantic relationship, but fans think that the song “Starry Eyes” may be a discreet confirmation.
“I only met you in my dreams before / When I was young and alone in the world / You were there when I needed someone / To call my girl,” the song begins (via Genius), which may allude to the fact that Jolie was once The Weeknd’s dream girl. “And now you’re my reality / And I wanna feel you close /But you’re defeated, baby / Broken, hurtin’, sufferin’ from a shattered soul,” the track continued, and in these lines, the singer may be referring to Jolie’s divorce with Brad Pitt.
It’s worth noting that elsewhere in the album, specifically a song called “Here We Go Again,” has fans speculating that the singer and actor are indeed an item. “My new girl, she’s a movie star / I loved her right, make her scream like Neve Campbell,” the lyrics read. With a handful of easter eggs supposedly about Jolie included in the album, it may only be a matter of time until we find out the real score between them.
