Hello,
I want to share the relevance or finality, in his art. But I can't prove if he's alive. For me, he's.
Demerol is also present in MORPHINE.
Thank you for your comments.
"Everywhere I turn, no matter where I look
The systems in control, it's all ran by the book
I've got to get away so I can clear my mind,
Xscape is what I need,
Away from electric eyes
No matter where I am, I see my face around
They then ask on my name, and push from town to town
Don't have a place to run, but there's no need to hide,
I've got to, find a place,
So I won't hide away
Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships that's gone away
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me
Sometimes I feel like
I've gotta get away
I tried to share my life with someone I could love
But games and money is all she ever thought of
How could that be my fault when she gambled and lost?
I'm tired of silly games,
It's time to make a change
Why is it I can't do whatever I want to?
Went in my personal life and I don't live for you
So don't you try to tell me what is right for me
You be concerned about you,
I can do what I want to
Xscape,got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships that's gone away
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape,got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships that's gone away
Xscape,the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this
man
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me
When I go, this problem world won't bother me no more
Xscape
Xscape
Xscape
Xscape
Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships that's gone away
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today

Xscape,
I do what I wanna

Xscape"
The beginning is missing. In the lyrics"It's all ran by the book" make me think about the Bible or the law system, but i don't really understand this. Is it a reference to "the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man". It make me think about PRIVACY "you btry to get me to lose the man I really am" " I need my privacy,/ So paparazzi, get away from me" and " one of my friends had to die" and in TABLOID JUNKIE "But with your pen you torture men
You'd crucify the Lord"or "Shoot to kill/ To blame him if you will/ If he dies sympathize/ Such false witnesses..." is very interesting to compare to XSCAPE lyrics.
"Everywhere I turn, no matter where I look" is a feeling of ubiquity from media. In INVINCIBLE in UNBREAKABLE the rap verse is quite interesting"Disappearing acts, strictly nines and macs/ Killers be serial, Copperfield material/ My dreams is vivid, work hard to live it/ Any place I visit, I got land there/ How can players stand there and say I sound like them
HELLO?!"
And in THREATENED "It's me I'm everywhere/ In one blink I'll disappear" and "Be two place at the same time". The monster is present in the first to the last songs of this album. Disappear is the best "use" to be ubiquity. Monster is made by the media but also by michael in art.
I post a link where My Who Is It explains the relation between THREATENED and Rod Serling rap with the episode from the TWILIGHT ZONE

XSCAPE is a song from the internet in 2002, direclty after INVINCIBLE album but there is also WHAT MORE CAN I GIVE which his released had failed because of Sony or Michael.
"I've got to get away so I can clear my mind", all this song is a strong affirmation of his independant mind. Far from bad influences. Do you know MagicalXscapism on you tube. I can't found his old video, but he (or she) mades a great work on disappering act on Michael. Since his childhood he talks about the escapism in art. He wants to break free, not only for him. Xscape is a strong rejecting of our society. Prison's metaporical figure deals with his feelings of injustice and fatality inside our lifestyles. If he is looking for more independance far from prejudge, he is also isolated, and on his own.
"Why is it I can't do whatever I want to?
Went in my personal life and I don't live for you
So don't you try to tell me what is right for me
You be concerned about you,
I can do what I want to"

LoginThe fatality, the fate inside OZ is present in XSCAPE "got to get away from a system loose in the world today" remember of the fate in oz and prisonners which are from the same family.
"Sometimes I feel like
I've gotta get away" This part is singing by a beautifull girl's voice. It made me think about a dream for the prionner. Maybe a voice from a free land, or an ideal zone.
In DESTINY song there is a link with this song
"In this world there's much confusion
And I've tasted the city life and it's not for me
Now I do dream of distant places
Where I don't know, but it's destiny
Bridge
If it's the rich life, I don't want it
Happiness ain't always material things
Chorus
I want destiny
It's the place for me
Give me the simple life
I'm getting away from here
Let me be free, let me be me
2nd Verse
I'm a man that's for all seasons
What the city offers me ain't naturally
I look to greet the stars
But there's no stars to see
Gonna search this world until I find my destiny"
This song is also used in OPIS NONE where Michael shouts 'i want destiny" "far from here". Notice that he talks about destiny not fatality. OPIS NONE more than the word game in the title with opus zéro, it's a song symbiotic between old and new. It's a material work with a "tohu bohu" of songs. It's a song from Katherine, and it can be describe as a prenatal works, a fetus full of his detiny. THe song is a storm of songs, melted and his extract. We are in the matrix, origine and end.
Michael transsubstantiation for hide himself...out of our fatality, near detiny
He transforms himself into a song. In Xscape, it's a moment where he transforms himself, he conforts himself into him. The material to something other material or not. XSCAPE haven't released on a cd support. Like other works in the same period. Only ONE MORE CHANCE, which we can qualify to second chance for his judgement, on cinema...
I'mnot very clear, because it's difficult. I like analogy, sorry if i made you confused. I don't know if I'm, but I like this transsubstantation into a palm, a diamond to a star, a car, a glove...Here the world seems to be a jail. The words are use as if they recovering him to prison. It so impressive and aggresive
