The Weeknd's "Open Hearts," from his album Hurry Up Tomorrow, delves into the challenges of embracing love after past emotional wounds. In the opening lines, "I can hear the wind blow, even through the window," he conveys a heightened sensitivity, suggesting lingering pain. The chorus poses the question, "Where do I start when I open my heart?" reflecting uncertainty in reopening oneself to love. Despite the fear, there's a yearning for connection, as he sings, "Cover my scars when I open my arms." Ultimately, the song portrays the delicate balance between vulnerability and the desire for emotional intimacy.
