"The Abyss" is a slow-burning, cinematic plunge into existential chaos, with The Weeknd and Lana Del Rey trading verses like two souls clinging to each other at the end of the world. The lyrics unravel a desperate love story against the backdrop of inevitable doom, with lines like "Let me close my eyes with dignity" turning heartbreak into something almost poetic. The production swirls in a hazy mix of haunting synths and eerie vocal layers, pulling everything deeper into its melancholic spiral. Lana’s ghostly harmonies and Abel’s aching falsetto make it feel like a fever dream set to music—equal parts beautiful and unsettling. There’s an apocalyptic weight to every note, a sense that love and destruction are hopelessly intertwined, and by the time the outro fades out, it’s impossible not to feel like you’ve been swallowed whole.
