Off The Wall
Michael Jackson猀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the world is on your shoulder
Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down
If you can't hang with the feelin'
Then there ain't no room for you this part of town
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy that's the only way

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)

You can shout out all you want to
'Cause there ain't no sin in folks all getting loud
If you take the chance and do it
There there ain't no one who's gonna put you down
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy that's the only way

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)

Do what you want to do
There ain't no rules it's up to you (ain't no rules it's all up to you)
It's time to come alive
And party on right through the night (all right)

Gotta hide your inhibitions
Gotta let that fool loose deep inside your soul
Want to see an exhibition
Better do it now before you get too old
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy that's the only way

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Come on and groove (yeah) and let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Come on and groove (yeah) and let the madness in the music get to you




Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Michael Jackson's song "Off The Wall" are an invitation to let go and enjoy life. The song encourages listeners to forget about their daily routine and embrace their wild side, to dance and party without inhibition. The lyrics suggest that life is not so bad if you live it "off the wall," which is a metaphor for living outside of the confines of society's norms.


The song's chorus "Life ain't so bad at all, if you live it off the wall" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the overall message to let loose and live in the moment. The lines "If you can't hang with the feelin'/ Then there ain't no room for you this part of town" suggest that this kind of lifestyle is not for everyone, but if you can't handle the thrill, then you don't belong.


The song is a celebration of life and an encouragement to embrace joy and freedom. The lyrics are paired with an upbeat, disco-style rhythm that makes it impossible not to dance along.

Lyrics:

When the world is on your shoulder

If you take the chance an' do it
Then there ain't no one who's gonna put you down
'Cause we're the party people, night an' day
Livin' crazy that's the only way

So tonight, gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf

People focus a lot on the hits. But you can scan this man's discography and find more gold than a mine can hold.

@analezaone530

Exactly! Ppl usually only focus on his popular songs when they need to listen to every song on each album. Mike got the classics !!

@nashanplays7834

Even Michael’s fans hardly talk about this masterpiece! This is arguably his most underrated work.

@loonybaybee

Facts! My favourite of his!

@ptm8375

You talk complete nonsense. This is one of his best albums, as the real fans know.
