This song is about the use of cocaine. Abel Tesfaye makes it clear through his music that drugs are definitely something he is into, and this song does not differ. This song specifically is about the use of cocaine. Cocaine is a numbing agent. He says specifically in the opening lines, "And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb". While this can be mistaken for talking about a woman, as we are frustrating beings, this is more applicable to the drug. He sings, "I can't feel my face when I'm with you/But I love it". Abel is physically numb when he is on the drug (drug being "you"), but he considers this a good thing.
