It's been well documented that this song was written during the child molestation charges in the early 90's and Michael became frustrated that his star had fallen so quickly in the eyes of the media and some fans ("swift and sudden fall from grace")...he also told an author of a book that when he was at the height of his popularity, he always felt alone, would sometimes cry alone at night and just walk around his neighborhood looking for someone to talk to.
That's where the concept for the video came from...with him wandering the streets alone looking for someone, and on the verge of pretty much going insane from everything that is falling down on him at once.
In a weird way the video, which follows a few other people, some of the same bad luck or bad things happen to them in the video too, showing that while he feels alone, he really isn't. He just can't or couldn't connect with anyone to share his feelings at the time.
This is his best song in terms of having a very deep meaning, no question. A lot of his work has some very eerie forshadowing in it.
Not true, he has said that this song was written in Moscow when he was on the Dangerous Tour, he was in the hotel room because he could not go anywhere, he looked out the window and all his fans were down there screaming for him and he felt that he knew no one and was alone, a stranger. I heard him explain this song himself in an interview before.
