Appointment

The Weeknd's song 'Appointment' delves into the intense anticipation and longing that comes with waiting for a romantic encounter. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man preparing meticulously for a special night, setting the scene with fancy clothes, lit candles, and a dinner that’s getting cold. This preparation underscores his eagerness and the anxiety that builds as he waits for his partner to arrive. The repeated mention of the time, 'half an hour past ten,' emphasizes the prolonged wait and the heightened sense of anticipation.

The song is rich with sensual imagery and metaphors that convey the physical and emotional tension the protagonist feels. Phrases like 'my body's burnin' and I start to sweat' and 'my body trembles every time my clock agrees' highlight the physical manifestation of his desire. The use of 'appointment' as a metaphor for their rendezvous adds a layer of formality and urgency to their meeting, suggesting that this encounter is something he has been eagerly looking forward to and meticulously planning.

The Weeknd's signature style of blending dark, moody R&B with explicit, raw lyrics is evident in 'Appointment.' The repetition of the chorus, 'Come to my appoint,' serves to amplify the urgency and desperation in his voice. The song captures the essence of longing and the almost unbearable wait for a lover, a theme that resonates with many listeners. The explicit nature of the lyrics, especially the closing line, 'I wanna fuck you,' leaves no room for ambiguity about the protagonist's intentions, making the song a candid expression of raw, unfiltered desire.
