Scenes according genius.com/The-weeknd-m-a-n-i-a-annotated
Intro
The title, « MANIA », appears in bold, red capital letters.
1: ‘All I Know’ Scene
Murphy the panther is in the center of an arena-like area. A white light is flashing to the beat of the song. Murphy glares up as saliva dribbles from his mouth.
2: ‘Sidewalks’ Scene
Abel is seen riding in his McLaren P1, singing along to the song. There is a slow motion clip of Murphy running. Abel continues singing along to « Sidewalks » in his expensive vehicle. Cut to a view of a mountain in the distance.
3: ‘Secrets’ Scene
There is ambience in the background. Abel, wearing a blue baseball cap, gets out of his P1. He walks into the nightclub. « Secrets » begins to play and Abel sings along. Everybody in the club is dancing. There is a young woman dancing seductively in the middle and Abel has his eye on her.
4: ‘Die For You’ Scene
Under a fading blue light, Abel and the woman from the previous scene are becoming extremely close and dancing slowly and romantically with one another. A man is watching them from a distance with jealousy. The music fades and Abel is seen in the bathroom using water to make sure his hair looks perfect for his newly found woman of interest. The jealous man walks up to him from behind as he washes his face in the sink. He then lunges for Abel with his knife and blood spurts everywhere. The music stops and Murphy roars.
5: ‘Party Monster’ Scene
Abel is covered in blood. The man lays dead on the floor, still bleeding. The woman from earlier is stood above his body in an all-black outfit. She presumably saved Abel from being knifed. The scene cuts to the nightclub and Abel, who still has a trail of blood on the side of his face, is dancing with his woman and mouthing along the lyrics to the song as it plays in the background. Cut to flashing blue lights.
6: ‘I Feel It Coming’ Outro Scene & Credits
Abel is singing to the track. Him and his girl are seen stood where Murphy the panther was sat in the area from the first scene.
