Bass note, treble, stereo control, how low you go

Overall Meaning

interpretation of the lyrics to Michael Jackson's "2000 Watts" is that it is a song about music and specifically the power of music. The opening lines encourage listeners to put on their 3D glasses and prepare for the experience that is about to follow. The repeated refrain of "2000 watts" could be seen as a metaphor for the energy and power of music that can be felt in the body. The lyrics mention bass notes, treble, stereo control, and feedback, all of which are elements of music production.


The chorus warns listeners to be careful not to overload, both in terms of the power of the music and the things they say. It is possible that this line is a nod to the controversy Jackson faced in the early 2000s regarding allegations of sexual abuse, and a warning to be careful not to make harmful statements or accusations. The verses also mention a desire to reach the peak, which could be taken as a reference to achieving musical greatness.


Overall, the song seems to celebrate the power of music and its ability to move listeners. By referencing some of the technical aspects of music production while also encouraging listeners to let go and dance, the song creates a sense of excitement and energy.
