Michael
The B Movie Monsters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No emotion or so it seems,
His only motive is to hear you scream.
He wears a mask, can't hide his eyes.
You can't get away, but he loves it when you try.

No need to call 'cause your friends are dead.
Just try to hide behind the couch instead.
It's too late 'cause he's inside.
You're gonna have to find a brand new place to hide.

You can't hide!

The Shape appears behind the shadows.
The moonlight shows his bloodstained knife.
You can't run, you can't hide, you're not even safe inside.
You won't survive this Halloween night.

No emotion or so it seems,
His only motive is to hear you scream.
He wears a mask, can't hide his eyes.
You can't get away, but he loves it when you try.

You can't hide!

The Shape appears behind the shadows.
The moonlight shows his bloodstained knife.
You can't run, you can't hide, you're not even safe inside.
You won't survive this Halloween night.





No!

Overall Meaning

The B Movie Monsters' song "Michael" is an ode to Michael Myers, the infamous killer from the Halloween movie franchise. The lyrics are a chilling description of Michael's modus operandi and his twisted desire to hear his victims scream. The song starts by portraying Michael as a stoic figure devoid of emotion, whose sole motive is to terrorize and kill his prey. He wears a mask that shields his face, but his eyes betray a sadistic pleasure in watching his victims suffer.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the futility of trying to escape from Michael. His victims are doomed to fail, but he derives pleasure from their futile attempts. The second verse describes the horror of Michael's onslaught. His victims are already dead, and there is no point in calling for help. The only option left is to hide, but even that is ineffective as Michael is already inside. The lyrics paint a picture of unspeakable terror.


The bridge of the song contains the most vivid description of Michael. He appears behind the shadows, his blood-stained knife glinting in the moonlight. The victims can't run, they can't hide, they are not even safe inside. The last line of the bridge is a ominous warning that no one can survive Halloween night with Michael around. The song captures the horror and fear that Michael instills in the hearts of his victims, and it is a fitting tribute to a legendary horror icon.
