Starboy Lyrics

I'm tryna put you in the worst mood, ah
P1 cleaner than your church shoes, ah
Milli point two just to hurt you, ah
All red lamb' just to tease you, ah
None of these toys on lease too, ah
Made your whole year in a week too, yeah
Main...

   I feel that he wants to be a new person, hence destroying his past self. He is also rich and boasts about it but he also loathes his richness. He wants to play music his way not follow anyone.

   He is raging against the establishment. The record label turned him into a "Starboy",(look what you've done) which is not what he wanted. He wants to play his music his way, so he symbolically murders his previous image. His art is his religion, so he uses a neon cross to destroy everything associated with what the record label made him become. He is choosing to be his more authentic self and not a sell out.

   The Weeknd is trying to be a changed man, as he kills his old in the music video and destroys his home, he’s starting a new chapter in life, (Chapter VI) and he’s working on a new start to a new toad for happiness. And by a centerpiece he’s talking about his heart feels empty and he wants someone to fill that

   The word "Starboy" is Jamaican slang for celebrity. The Weekend is boasting of his obscene wealth and lifestyle, including his love for the expensive cars, which he legitimately owns. It's like a violent truth that he feels the need to hit you with: he is motherf*cking rich and you are NOT, so THERE. He also kills himself in the video and destroys his own house so he is both boasting of his riches while simultaneously being violently disgusted by it. It is a song of boastful loathing.

   He is in a time of his life where he has to leave his family and be around the world. In the song it says "Get me close to God", he is saying that he wants to get close to God, which means he wants to be Christian, The cross in the video also represents God. Now, when he says "House so empty need a centerpiece" he is meaning that he feels lonely and needs a centerpiece in him.
