For the announcement, that came via social, The Weekend released a visual that began with Star Wars ascending text intro vibes of poetic self-referential lines and complex concept explanations to help usher us into and better understand this final chapter. Accompanied by background soundtrack of ominous music.
“YESTERDAY WAS FOURTEEN YEARS AGO…
WE HELD OUR BREATH, FALLING INTO A SHIMMERING SEA IN THE AFTER HOURS OF THE NIGHT…
ATTEMPTED TO CLEANSE THE WOUNDS WITH MELODIES AND LIGHTS, A BULLETPROOF BANDAGE TO SHEILF WHAT LIES BENEATH.
IN A PLACE WHERE THE SEASONS NEVER CHANGED, WHERE TIME CEASED TO EXIST. BUT THEREIN LAYS THE PROBLEM.
TODAY HADS FELT LIKE AN ENDLESS SPIN. I KEEP DISTORTING THE TRUTH, IMMUNE TO THE DIZZINESS, NUMB TO THE NAUSAE. WHAT LIES BENETH — SCREAMS IN SILENCE.
I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND FEEL BOTH OLD AND NEW STUCK IN LIMBO AND UNABLE TO MOVE. I STILL HAVEN’T FACED MYSELF.
MORE SONGS COULD HELP, BUT WHAT DO I HAVE LEFT TO SAY? WOE IS ME IN MY GILDED CAGE RIGHT?
THE VERY THING THAT ONCE MADE ME INVINCIBLE FAILED ME ON THE WORLD STAGE. A NEW TRAUMA SURFACED, OPENING FLOODGATES.
A NEW PATH AWAITS.
WHEN TODAY ENDS,I’LL DISCOVER WHO I AM.
HURRY UP TOMORROW.”
According to the artist the album, which does not yet have a release date, "represents the creative apex of the project, serving as the third and final chapter crafted with existential and self-referential themes as seen with the latest visionary teasers that have set fans ablaze with anticipation for this concluding installment.”
