Michael - The Lyrics

Korgnex said:
I'm personally hearing "just escape, babe" instead of "just to scape it".
I also think this is making more sense.

and I'm also hearing "Why you take it, why you fake it" (ad-libs towards the end)


but I wasn't 100% sure when I wrote them down and it wasn't that audible in the earlier mix.

I'm also unsure in this point.
sounds like

to espace it
to espace
to scape it

i dont know. :scratch:
 
Korgnex said:
I can also confirm "hawkin' " instead of "stalkin' " in SOME lines. I was unable to detect which word it is.

Also there's sth wrong with the ending. One line for sure is:
"It's dragging you down like a monster"

BUT what word is he saying in the 2nd line instead of "dragging"?
Click to expand...


yup


"dragging you down like a monster"
"It's dragging you down like a monster"
"dragging you down like a monster"
"It's dragging you down like a monster"

on line 1 and 3 there is no "It's"
and the "dragging" doesnt sound like "dragging"
can u confirm that?
 
Sounds like this to me:

It's dragging you down like a monster
It's whipping you down like a monster
It's dragging you down like a monster
It's whipping you down like a monster

I hear "It's" all 4 times, but it's sung quickly and the word "dragging" is pronounced. But it's really "It's" all 4 times.

If you loop this section, you'll hear "It's" every time.
 
Michael says:

Why you haunting me (Monster)
Why you stalking me (He's a Monster)
Why haunting me (He's an animal)
Why you do it Why you

Why you stalking me (Monster)
Why you haunting me (He's a Monster)
Why you haunting me (He's an animal)
Why you Why you

Hohohoh

He's dragging you down like a monster
He's keeping you down like a monster
He's dragging you down like a monster
He's keeping you down like a monster

and earlier he says:

Just to 'scape it, meaning escape but you can't hear the "e".
 
Can anyone explain me what: ''Mama say, mama got you in a zig zag'' actually means in this song?
 
excuse me

what does "Heaven must be wearing" means?

MICHAEL JACKSON - "Stay"



lead vocals & ad-libs: Michael Jackson
chorus and background vocals: James Porte
Sometimes they're also singing together but I have not marked this.


VERSE 1
Never have I ever been so sure (so sure)
(Hoh no, now)
Never thought I'd see you walk in that door (that door)
(Hoh nay-na)

I can make you feel (like you're the queen)
No remedy (no compromise)
Would you rather be right here with me

I want you right here next to me

CHORUS
Do you really wanna stay (we can take it slow)
Do you wanna walk away (if you let it go)
Girl, I'm writing you this letter just to say goodbye
I'll be standing in the rain, case you change your mind (say goodbye)

Do you really wanna stay (we can take it slow)
Do you really wanna go (we can let it go)
So I'm writing you this letter just to say goodbye (good)
I'll be standing in the rain, case you change your mind

VERSE 2
She never thought she'd be here away, in no need
(Hoh no now)
I never thought I'd be here back in my fears (we can take it slow) (hoo)

When you're in need, your fantasy (all here with me)
So would you rather be right here with me

Girl, get in to me

CHORUS
Do you really wanna stay (ho-ooh) (we can take it slow)
Do you wanna walk away (if you let it go)
Girl, I'm writing you this letter just to say goodbye (don't you walk away)
I'll be standing in the rain, case you change mind (say goodbye)

Do you really wanna stay (we take it slow) (we can take it slow)
Do you really wanna go (did you say goodbye) (we can let it go)
So I'm writing you this letter just to say goodbye
I'll be standing in the rain, case you change your mind

BRIDGE
Anything, oh, anything
To chase the rain, goodbye
When you're left with all your dreams
I couldn't say good night (I want love you)
She was contagious (she was contagious)
She was my baby

Te quiero (te quiero mi amor)
I love you
Say goodbye (say goodbye)
Say goodbye

CHORUS OUT
Do you really wanna stay (haaaah) (we can take it slow)
Do you wanna walk away (if you let it go)
Girl, I'm writing you this letter just to say goodbye (don't walk away)
I'll be standing in the rain, case you change your mind (no go away)

Do you really wanna stay (stay by my side) (we can take it slow)
Do you really wanna go (stay by my side) (we can let it go)
So I'm writing you this letter just to say goodbye
I'll be standing in the rain, case you change your mind

I never let you go (do you wanna walk away)
I never let you go
Never let you go (I'll be standing in the rain, case you change your mind)
Never let you go

Do you really wanna stay (hoo-oaa)
Do you wanna, wanna go (ho-ooaah)
So I'm writing you this letter just to say goodbye
I'll be standing in the rain, case you change your mind (hoo-aaoooh)

No go away
Stay by my side
Stay by my side

I Don't Want To Destroy This Thread With PM Me Posts, Sorry :(
 
Thanks Korgnex. I'd like to question some of the lyrics though.

In the chorus, from the snippets (including your most recent one), it sounds to me like it says:

"Girl, I'm writing you this letter just to say goodbye
I'll be standing in the rain, case you change your mind"

What do you think?
 
^ Would make more sense. Yeah, I'm not a native speaker. So, I think you've got it right.
Thanks!

Explanation of the line "Heaven must be wearing" in BEHIND THE MASK
by Korgnex


"Heaven must be wearing" is a fantastic and intended wordplay that combines "(to) wear a mask" with "wearing" (=exhausting!) and alludes to the title of the song, BEHIND THE MASK.

The expression by the singing persona (the lyrical persona) correlates to the woman behind the mask who is addressed by this.
"Heaven" means the wealthiness and fame that surrounds that woman. She's living in her world of glitz where everything is appealing but it's still just an illusory world nonetheless. She only pretends to be someone but the singing persona (the lyrical persona) wants to know who she really is, what person she is behind the mask.

The singing persona (the lyrical persona) wants to say this:
It has to be pretty exhausting (="wearing") to always live like in heaven - to always have everything, to always get everything when everything is perfect and you yourself also have to pretend to be perfect by wearing a mask to fit in this sweetest place (="Heaven") and to preserve the pretense.
That's the price you have to pay for it so to say.

By wearing a mask you feign something to others, you present them a certain image, you play a roll, you do what others are expecting from you (because it's suitable to your role).
This pretense, the mask, the constant "to act as if", the fulfilling of expectations that others are demanding from you, doesn't allow you to be recognized as the real person that is behind the mask.

And because the singing persona (the lyrical persona) wants to identify her, he's asking her to drop all pretense because after all it must be stressful to always wear that mask to simulate perfection.
--> "Heaven must be wearing"



Michael Jackson said of himself during the Grammy Awards in 1993:
It feels good to be thought of as a person, not as a personality.

So it's even auto-biographical to a certain extent.

Nope. It's not the song with the same name MJ did with Bryan Loren back in 1989/1990.

This is a Cascio track that has been produced by Tricky Stewart recently. Outtake of "Michael".

I Love STAY/CARRY ON and i'm looking forward to hear it in full. I'm glad Tricky Stewart was on board as producer.
Word on when this is going to leak in full, Korg?:cheeky:
 
Slave to the rhythm

(HoHoHoo)
(HoHoHoo)

(Hoo Hoo)

She dances in the sheets at night
She dances to his needs
She dances 'til he feels just right
Until he falls asleep

She dances at the crack of dawn
And quickly cooks his food
She can't be late, can't take too long
The kids must get to school

She's a slave to the rhythm
Cause she's a slave to the rhythm of
Cause she's a slave to the rhythm
A slave to the rhythm of
[The rhythm of Love]
[The rhythm of Love]

Cause she’s a slave to the rhythm
Cause she’s a slave to the rhythm of
Cause she’s a slave to the rhythm
A slave to the rhythm of
[The rhythm of Love]
[The rhythm of Love]

She dances for the men at work
Who works her overtime
She can't be rude as she says
'Sir, I must be home tonight'

She dances to the kitchen stove
Dinner is served by nine
He says 'His food's an hour late'
She must be outta her mind

Cause she's a slave to the rhythm
Cause she's a slave to the rhythm of
Cause she's a slave to the rhythm
A slave to the rhythm of
[The rhythm of Love]
[The rhythm of Love] (HoHoHoo)

Cause she's a slave to the rhythm
Cause she's a slave to the rhythm of
Cause she's a slave to the rhythm
A slave to the rhythm of
[The rhythm of Love]
[The rhythm of Love]

She works so hard, just to make her way
For the man who just don't appreciate
And though he takes her Love in vain
Still she could not stop, couldn't break his chains

She danced the night that they fell out
She swore she'd dance no more
But dance she did, he did not quit
As she ran out the door

She danced through the night in fear of her life
She danced to a beat of her own
She let out a cry, and swallowed her pride
She knew she was needed back home, home

Cause she's a slave to the rhythm
Cause she's a slave to the rhythm of
Cause she's a slave to the rhythm
A slave to the rhythm of
[The rhythm of Love] (Love) (Love) (Love)
[The rhythm of Love]

Cause she's a slave to the rhythm
Cause she's a slave to the rhythm of
Cause she's a slave to the rhythm
[A slave to the rhythm of] (Hoo)
[The rhythm of Love] (???)
[The rhythm of Love] (???, ??? baby)

[Cause she's a slave to the rhythm] (Hoo)
[Cause she's a slave to the rhythm of] (Hold on)
[Cause she's slave to the rhythm]
[A slave to the rhythm of] (Hoo)
[The rhythm of Love] (Hoo) (Hoo)
[The rhythm of Love] (Hoo)

[Cause she's a slave to the rhythm] (Hold on, hold on)
[Cause she's a slave to the rhythm of] (Hold on, hold on)
[Cause she's a slave to the rhythm] (Hoh my, hoh my)
[A slave to the rhythm of]
[The rhythm of Love] (???)
[The rhythm of Love] (???, do it baby)

[Cause she's a slave to the rhythm] (Hoh my, Hoh my)
[A slave to the rhythm of] (Hold on)
[A slave to the rhythm]
[A slave to the rhythm of]
[The rhythm of Love] (Love)
[The rhythm of Love] (Love)
