Xscape
Michael Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The systems in control, it's all ran by the book
I've got to get away so I can free my mind
Xscape is what I need
From the electric eyes
No matter where I am, I see my face around
They realize on my name, and push from town to town
Don't have a place to run, but there's no need to hide
I've got to, find a place
So I won't hide away
Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships haven't gone my way
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me
I tried to share my life with someone I could love
But games and money is all she ever thought of
How could that be my fault when she gambled and lost?
I'm tired of silly games
It's time to make a change
Why is it I can't do whatever I want to?
Went in my personal life and I don't live for you
So don't you try to tell me what is right for me
You be concerned about you
I can do what I want to
Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships haven't gone my way
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships haven't gone my way
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape
When I go, this problem world won't bother me no more
Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships haven't gone my way
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships haven't gone my way
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape, got to get away
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships haven't gone my way
Xscape, the man with the pen
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me

Xscape
The lyrics of Michael Jackson's "XSCAPE," published after his tragic death, are poignant and valuable. The song lyrically explores the themes of personal freedom, individualism, and escapism. The opening lines of the song suggest that Jackson is unhappy with the way the world works, and believes everything is being controlled by systems and authorities who are "running everything by the book."
Jackson expresses a desire to "get away" and seeks "Xscape" to free his mind from the pressures of the world. He reflects on how difficult it is to escape his public persona, as he sees his face "everywhere he goes." Jackson notes how he has faced pressures in his personal relationships, but he is determined to do what he wants and escape the lies written by the man with the pen.
The overarching message of the song is that Jackson wishes to be free from the constraints of the world and make his own choices. The song encourages individuals to break free from societal pressures and pressures from others to live the life they choose.

TRUTH INTERPRETATION:
systems in control: capitalism (this not mean he is communist, let's not be ourselves d*mb)
run by the book: maisons book, and bible (this not means bible is bad, this means they use bible to control people)
eletric eyes: secret societies, USA maisons philosophy, bigger corporations, oldschool illuminati.
system rules in the world today: consumism, capitalism, status, ego, buy things to be a valuable person to others. destroying our nutrition by fast food.
don't have a place to run but there's no need to hide: if whole world knows you, you just need peace to live the world without relationships pressure. (relationships means people wanting to be something of him, friend, brother, etc.)

Xscape is what I need,
Away from electric eyes
No matter where I am, I see my face around
They then ask on my name, and push from town to town

It is kinda crazy to experience MJ singing on a present beat and killing it. This is the undisputed proof that MJ is indeed timeless. You can put his vocals on ANY kind of beat and it would be LIT AF
@shumailmaqboolsabri
