Privacy

[Sarahli]

Another great song from Invicible album. The lyrics are self-explanatory but I don't know if someone of you knows who Michael is talking about ? (in red). I'm specially intrigued by the message that yet we haven't heard...


Ain’t the pictures enough
Why do you go through so much
To get the stories you need
So you can bury me
You got the people confused
You tell the stories you choose
You try to get me to lose
The man I really am

You keep on stalking me
Invading my privacy
Won’t you just let me be
Cos your cameras can’t control
The minds of those who know
That you’ll even sell your soul
Just to get your story sold

I need my privacy (yeah, yeah)
I need my privacy (yeah, yeah)
So paparazzi (yeah, yeah)
Get away from me (yeah, yeah)

Some of you still wonder why
One of my friends had to die         :arrow: (which friend, which message...?)
To get that message across
That yet you haven’t heard
My friend was chased and confused
Like many others I knew
But on that cold winter night
My pride was snatched away

She get no second chance  
She ridiculed and harassed
Please tell my why (oh no)
Now there’s a lesson to learn
Respects not given it’s earned
Stop maliciously attacking my integrity

I need my privacy (yeah, yeah)
I need my privacy (yeah, yeah)
So paparazzi (yeah, yeah)
Just get away from me (yeah, yeah)

Now there’s a lesson to learn
Stories are twisted and turned
Stop maliciously attacking my integrity

I need my privacy (yeah, yeah)
I need my privacy (yeah, yeah)
So paparazzi (yeah, yeah)
Just get away from me (yeah, yeah)

I need my privacy (yeah, yeah)
I need my privacy (yeah, yeah)
So paparazzi (yeah, yeah)
Just get away from me (yeah, yeah)


My privacy (yeah, yeah)
My privacy (yeah, yeah)
My privacy (yeah, yeah)
My privacy (yeah, yeah)

i believe it is princess diana he is referring to..........xxxxxx

[becca26]

i believe it is princess diana he is referring to..........xxxxxx

Yes I think the same.

[Sarahli]

Ok thanks, Princess Diana, God bless her...and what about the message ?

[Sophele]

hmm, i think he was refering to lady di too... but: she died in summer, during a summer night... that's what always confused me a bit, as he sings about a "winter night"... maybe only to make it more dramatic?  :?

[loyalfan]

well it was the end of august...so you could stretch the point...lol.......but i think he is saying.....".you paparazzi chased her and chased her and look what happenend.....the car crashed...........dont you see what you people do to us "

[*Mo*]

Her death was blamed on the paps, but it was a conspiracy.  Princes Diana was murdered.

[Mj5StarChick]

I thought that he meant umm what's his name Ryan White and the message that he tried to get across was we are all the same and that he was no different because he had AIDS and no matter ethnicity we are one and the same That's the person I thought he meant Sorry just my little 2 cents :oops: But could be Diana
I absolutely love this song
I love how he lets them know directly he needs his PRIVACY and guitar solo is great

[Sarahli]

Yes Mo Diana was murdered and she knew about the conspiracy...that's why I always think that Michael took the initiative.

Ok Ryan White but isnt' the song "Gone too soon" referring to him ?

And why do he says "my pride was snatched away" ?  The "cold winter night" is linked to "my pride was snatched away"...

[THE JACKSONOLOGIST]

i believe it is princess diana he is referring to..........xxxxxx

Yes I think the same.

In the lyrics it says "on that cold winters night.....my pride was snathched away..."

Diana was killed in August. I dont think it was Diana.

Then again, maybe he WAS talking about her and just added those lines in the song to make it flow...Im trying to think of someone else it could have been.

[jpresley]

He's speaking about Princess Di and then reverts back to himself in that bit about his pride and the cold winters night.  The strip search at Neverland was in December.
