@[Ismelstar:4675] I agree with this interpretation. Except one thing, are we sure the line isn't "I can be replaced"? I don't hear a T, of course even if it is "can't" i'm sure Sia won't be pronouncing the T, but still. I think it makes more sense if the victim is realizing that her part in the relationship can just be replaced by the abuser with a new victim. |

| Michael Jackson – This Is It Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I hadn't thought about it until just the other day, and I'm a terrible lyric/poetry analyst, but: Has anyone considered the song could potentially be addressing the fans (particularly millions of women who wanted to be his wife)? Some of the other songs on the posthumous album seem to perhaps flip-flop a bit on the subject of whether the idol-like admiration he received was legit or not, and we've heard that this was a big question / worry of his, I think. He was a very alienated-feeling man. But I guess what I'm saying is, perhaps this can be about just the above, while MJ was in an optimistic mood. How, musically, do you try to solve millions loving you; Obviously being with them all is out of the question. Think about lines like "got this love i can feel / and i know yes for sure it is real." The chorus: "i never heard a single word about you / falling in love wasn't my plan." We know MJ was full of love. Was he extending that concept to a metaphor of being the lover-in-name-only of all those looking to him as the 'light of the world'? I guess it's a crackpot hypothesis & probably inaccurate since nobody else seems to be saying it. |
