    Im supposed to figure out the poetic meaning (if there even is any) of the song thriller. So far, this is what i think it is about. I think hes singing about a killer monster that the girl in the song better be braced for because hes a thriller? So damn confused on this song, does anyone (maybe people who are stuck in the 80's) know what this song is about?

    This is a question best asked HERE. Good luck with that. IT's OK though. If it's any consolation to you my 10th grade English class had to do a 1000 word paper on Pink Floyd's "The Wall".

    1st verse
    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
    Chorus
    ’cause this is thriller, thriller night
    And no one’s gonna save you from the beast about strike
    You know it’s thriller, thriller night
    You’re fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

    2nd verse
    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

    Chorus
    ’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 of killer, thriller tonight

    Bridge
    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

    3rd verse
    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 thru the night I’ll save you from the terror on the screen,
    I’ll make you see
    Chorus
    That this is thriller, thriller night
    ’cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try
    Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
    So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller
    Thriller here tonight
    well you cant really see it until verse three. in the first two verses/choruses he's just trying to scare you and make you afraid, then in verse three, because Michael Jackson is male (when he wrote this song at least) you can assume that he's singing it to a female because he says "now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together". So, IMO i think this entire song was just to get a girl to "hug" him by scaring her then being manly and saying that he can protect her if she stays close to him.
    All IMHO of course.
    Thank you for reading this assuredly fantastic post.

    Thanks guys, but i guess the song is about people transferring into a diff. genre called "pop", and jackson is just sayin how scared people are, but once it gets ahold of u, theres no goin back.

    So once uve left disco and went pop, u were cool or somethin.

    Ironic, Michael Jackson plays a zombie, is now a zombie and threadomancy conjured forth this thread reposing in the cool computer crypts of the archives.
