Scandroid’s music has cracked the Top 10 on the iTunes Electronic Albums chart and the Top 5 on the Billboard Electronic Albums chart. Along with his original songs streaming in the millions, Scandroid’s music has also been the subject of several popular remixes, including a Dance With the Dead remix of "Neo-Tokyo" that has accumulated 12 million combined streams between Spotify and YouTube alone.
Following the Scandroid self-titled debut album in 2016, Klayton released a second full-length album, Monochrome (Deluxe Edition), in 2017. He then embarked on the most ambitious project in Scandroid’s history to day, releasing the first half of an epic double album in The Darkness in 2018. The second half, The Light, was released in late 2019 with the complete album, The Darkness and The Light, to follow in 2020.
Thriller
Scandroid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller"
It's close to midnight
And something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it (ow, ah)
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
(Tonight)
(Ah)
(Ah)
You hear the door slam
And realize there's nowhere left to run (ow!)
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 (oh girl)
But all the while
You hear a creature creepin' up behind; you're out of time
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer thriller
This is thriller, thriller night
And I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer thriller
Toni-i-i-i---i--i---i-i-...
Tonight
"Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize your neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of Hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell"
'Cause this is thriller
(Oh girl, tonight)
"The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller"
Tonight
In this excerpt from Scandroid's song Thriller, the lyrics describe a terrorizing scene that is reminiscent of Michael Jackson's famous song with the same title. The words begin by constructing the eerie atmosphere, describing something evil lurking in the dark. The following lines talk about the fear and horror that grip the singer inside the uncertain space. The use of descriptive phrases like "you're paralyzed" and "you're out of time" adds more layers to the intensity of the situation.
The chorus of the song tells of a menacing force that is coming for the singer. They are fighting for their lives, and in this situation, there is no one coming to rescue them as they face the beast about to strike. The second verse takes place indoors, and the singer senses that there is no escape. They realize that they have fallen into the hands of something terrible, and their fate has been sealed. The song ends with a reference to Vincent Price's famous monologue from Michael Jackson's Thriller music video.

And though you fight to stay alive
Despite your efforts to survive
Your body starts to shiver
You feel an intense fear that physically affects you
For no mere mortal can resist
No regular human can withstand
The evil of the thriller
The malevolence of the song that engulfs you

Ever since you announced that you'd be covering this song, I couldn't stop wondering how you were gonna tackle it.
You did not disappoint, Klayton. This cover is fucking amazing.
Also, dancing werewolf robots.
10/10 video man.
Anthony Caruso
Klayton cannot make bad music indeed, I don't even like heavy metal that much but I love Circle of Dust.
Khenfu Cake
Anthony Caruso I'm gonna be that person and say that Circle of Dust is more in the industrial metal/rock territory than heavy metal. And that is with fairly heavy (heh) on the industrial part aka the electronics;P
But your point still stands:)
Scandroid
Thanks!

@Crystaldabber 77 I obviously know that and I'm so glad he is. I'm talking about singers who are just like him. I don't know much about those type of people cuz they don't interest me.
