Well said Sarahli "-Morphine is the insidious lie which is keeping people asleep". I believe this to be symbolic of humanity being put under mass hypnosis by feeding us total lies, I think many are starting to see this now and are coming round.
I found it odd they used this song in the trailers/leaders of dutch television show "My name is michael". The emphasize was on the slow part where MJ sang about demerol...As far as I now, this song has never been officially released as a single. It's a song not many people know who are only MJ fan after his death.I don't know if it means anything, but it sounded strange to me. They could have used so many songs in that place...

This song is VERY intriguing. You can listen to it here, and I would encourage you to do so a few times (if you haven't):Here's my take on it:The song is NOT about literal addiction to morphine or any drugs, as some believe.There are 2 distinct parts, the second one having a different melody and being about "Oh God he's taking Demerol". It starts with "Relax..." at 2:49. Later on lines from both 1st and 2nd part mingle, with the 1st part "engulfing" the 2nd one. The refrain "Trust in me / Put all your trust in me" is sung in an emotional, pleading voice that jumped out at me, because it's so different from the rest of the song and has a different vibe. I'm tempted to interpret this song as Michael's message to the fans that if we ever hear of him dying of drug/morphine/Demerol overdose, we shouldn't believe it (hence his pleading: "trust in me'). The other lyrics in part 1 sound to me like what two conspirators (a man and a woman) might say while talking over the body of a man they murdered. Example: "He got flat baby / Kick in the back baby / A heart attack baby" and "He's just a bitch baby." Lines such as "You make me sick baby" could be addressed to the dead man... Part 2 could be the story that gets released to the media and that people start repeating, about "he's taking Demerol" and the reasons he might be.MJ never made a video for this song (I wonder why?), but try to make one in your head. What would it look like? For me, it would be a Tarantino-type movie where - as I said above - a man and a woman kill a guy and talk over his dead body. Then the media chatter plays this story of addiction and how the guy died because of Demerol...I'm not sure if ALL the lyrics fit into the scenario I envision... Something that puzzles me is in part 2 of the song:"HE's tried hard to convince HERTo be over what HE hadToday HE wants it twice as badDon't cry / I won't resent youYesterday you had HIS trustToday HE's taking twice as muchDemerol"This points to addiction because of some sort of romantic dissapointment or something like that... But again, I see it as part of the fictional story that the media would say and which is superseded by the real story which starts in part 1 of the song. The TONE of the song has a dark (noir), angry, conspiratorial air to it and if MJ were to write a song about REAL drug addiction, I think it would sound different...I'd be curious to hear other opinions.
This part of the song makes me cry. The backround has someone criying, a respiratory machine and a call......But also, I find it very healing and I tell you why.RelaxThis won't hurt youBefore I put it inClose your eyes and count to tenDon't cryI won't convert youThere's no need to dismayClose your eyes and drift awayDemerolDemerolOh God he's taking demerolDemerolDemerolOh God he's taking demerolHe's triedHard to convince herTo be over what he hadToday he wants it twice as badDon't cryI won't resent youYesterday you had his trustToday he's taking twice as muchDemerolDemerolOh God he's taking demerolHee-hee-heeDemerolDemerolOh my Oh God it's DemerolHeeOoohOh!Pay attention to the music used in here...i am sure it´s made on porpouse it should have some relaxing, healing music waves.
