Freaks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's close to midnight
Something evil's lurkin'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

'Cause this is thriller
Thriller night
And no one's gonna save you
From the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller
Thriller night
You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer
Thriller tonight

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 a creature creepin' up behind
You're outta time

'Cause this is thriller
Thriller night
There ain't no second chance
Against the thing with the forty eyes, girl
Thriller

You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer

Night creatures callin'
The dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time

This is the end of your life

They're out to get you
There's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you
Unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time
For you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night
I'll save you from the terror on the screen
I'll make you see

I'm gonna thrill you tonight

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'alls neighborhood

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" depict a thrilling and suspenseful story set in the late hours of the night. The song begins by describing a sense of malevolence emanating from the darkness, as something evil lurks in the shadows. Under the moonlight, a terrifying sight causes the listener's heart to nearly stop, rendering them unable to scream. As fear immobilizes them, the horror intensifies as it locks eyes with them, leaving them paralyzed with terror.


The chorus proclaims that it is indeed a thriller night, where no one can save the listener from the imminent danger posed by the approaching beast. The fight for survival becomes a central theme, as they confront the killer that threatens their life. The lyrics vividly describe the feeling of being trapped, with the slamming of the door solidifying the realization that there is nowhere left to run. The cold touch of a hand adds to the sense of impending doom, leaving the listener to question if they will ever see daylight again.


The second verse continues the suspense, as the listener tries to convince themselves that what they are experiencing is only imagination. However, their self-reassurance is shattered by the creeping sound of a creature approaching from behind. Time is running out, and they are now out of options.

The lyrics emphasize the impossibility of escape from the alien-like terror. The end of the song depicts the demons closing in on the listener from all sides, ready to possess them.
