What is your favorite M J metaphor and why?

[Wren13]

I love M J’s music because it's rich with emotional, visual, and moral metaphors – my favorite has to be – HUMAN NATURE.

If this town is just an apple - Then let me take a bite.

Because its about wanting and not taking.

What is your favorite and why?

In the Closet entire lyrics

You cannot cleave it or put it in the furnace
You cannot wet it, you cannot burn it

Who is it:

'I gave her everything
Inside one heart could find,
I gave her passion,
My very soul'

Perfectly encapsulates the idea of giving ones all in a relationship.

'I am the damned,
I am the dead,
I am the agony inside the dying head'

Convey's the idea of the tormented grief at the ending of a relationship.

I love the chorus too, but no metaphors there. I think he captures the anguish of being betrayed so well in this song.

Incredible - So many powerful words, makes you feel what he was feeling

I have to say “I, You, We” is my favorite. Why? It constitutes the purity and preciousness of the energetic bond between souls. The subconscious and consciousness of truth wrapped in love by divine infinity. A single force that strengthens and heals, highlighting universal connectedness that exists beyond yet within the material world, and our own individuality.

I love the way you can really feel the grit in these words.

"Here abandoned in my fame
Armageddon of the brain.
KGB was doggin' me
Take my name and just let me be"

My personal favourite song.

MJ wrote the song while touring in Moscow in 1993, feeling isolated and misunderstood
