It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking
In the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops
Your heart
You try to scream, but terror takes the sound before
You make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between
The eyes
You're paralyzed
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to
Strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer
Thriller tonight
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere
Left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see
The sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just
Imagination
But all the while you hear the creature creepin' up
Behind
You're out of time
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with
Forty eyes
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer
Thriller tonight
Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time
(They're open wide)
This is the end of your life
They're out to get you; there's demons closing in on
Every side
They will possess you unless you change the number on
Your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close
Together
All through the night I'll save you from the terrors on
The screen
I'll make you see
That it's a thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost
Would ever dare try
Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller
Chiller
Thriller here tonight
That it's a thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost
Would ever dare try
Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'awl's neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller
In the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops
Your heart
You try to scream, but terror takes the sound before
You make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between
The eyes
You're paralyzed
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to
Strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer
Thriller tonight
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere
Left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see

First verse (pardon my English)
We were told as young adults that the worst of the world appears at night. When we as humans are at our most vulnerable weakness would be in the darkness that light does not seem to appear. Sometimes we are lucky enough to have a slight light even in our darkest moments. During these moments we forget who we really are. Then we stop and remain as we are even after we see our greatest fears.
2.We make those decisions during life that cannot be undone, but to only face them. Then realize the decision that was made was the one to benefit the dark and not the light. This is when realization that has occurred that all hope is over and you just lost more of your morals that can never be retrieved.
3. The demons that eventually consume us devour us.
4. The evil is out to make you forget who is number one and all your old and new demons come from all angles to defeat you. The only way to win is understand change is inevitable and you can still change to the better. Hold on to your light it will save you.
Chorus That is the evil that strips away your time and life, to only stop the path you once wished to pursue. will you change? the killer will hold you tight and fuck you gently.
narrator, This darkness will encounter everyone at any given point in time. There are others out there to get you to bleed, terrorize and the ones that are strong enough to face it even more hell will face you for their goal is to win and you to loose.
narrator, The negativity of the past and all your innermost demons will never stop to make your fate into the dream forgotten. You now struggle to stay alive as your body gives in and your mind succumbs to the evil that you now have become.
Number 2: This song is the shiz. It's catchy, the lyrics are fun, and MJ's voice is at its best. I agree with everyone, he was way better before he started trying to be white. I mean, how many fans care if he's black or white?
Number 3: RIP King of Pop! I know exactly how you got that name, and I will treasure that picture I have of your waxwork double and I from New Year's Eve in 2010.
I couldn't agree more! This is song meanings people - not "post your comment" site.
Oh I like this song, and this song really rocks is not what the site means by "song meanings"
The song, if you watch the video, is kinda like a short story from "The Twilight Zone" No real meaning, IMO, comes to my mind when I read the lyrics. It's just a "fun - scary" kinda movie. Dancing around, zombies, they're out to get you.... I think this song is just a fun Halloween song with the best dance routine ever.
And my little brother knows most of the zombie dance routine from the video. It makes me so proud when he starts dancing it at random with me. (:
Anyhow, the lyrics are easy to interpret, it's him telling a scary story. The End.
THRILLER SHORT FILM = THE BEST MUSIC VIDEO AND SONG IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC VIDEOS. THAT'S DA TRUTH. :]
