And it's a trauma that leaves a scar/PTSD well into adulthood where she's still "scared of the moon" and other kids are too Billionaires are a cancer. Even the ones you like.

Idk if that's really intentional but that's what I get from it But yeah, read the lyrics with that new context Alone she lies waiting Surrounded by gloom Invaded by shadows Painting the room The light from the window Cuts through the air And pins the child lying there Scared of the moon She pulls up the covers And shivers in fright She hides from the colour That rides on the light The light through the window That lights up the sky And causes her mournful cry Scared of the moon "There's nothing wrong, Don't be bothered" they say "It's just childish fantasies Turning your head No need to worry It's really too soon" But there she lies shivering Scared of the moon Scared of the moon Scared of the moon Scared of the moon Scared of the moon The years go by swiftly And soon childhood ends But life is still fearful When evening descends The fear of the child Still intrudes the night Returning on beams of light Scared of the moon The feeling of terror She felt as a youth Has turned from a fantasy Into a truth The moon is the enemy Twisting her soul And taking its fearful toll Scared of the moon But now there are others That sit in a room And wait for the sunlight To brighten their gloom Together they gather Their lunacy shared But knowing just why they're scared Scared of the moon It sounds like she was being abused as a kid and knew it was hurting but didn't understand it. When she grew up, she understood what was going on ("the feeling of terror she felt as a youth has turned from a fantasy into the truth") and she was messed up over it. She's far from the only one though Sometimes I wonder if MJ himself was abused sexually as a kid 'cause it's a semi-common theme in his discography. Usually it's about young people being abused to make it big in Hollywood but there's other subtle things and songs like this that tell me he's speaking more from a perspective of someone who's been there himself rather than someone who sees it going on and is upset about it. He was certainly in the environment to be abused as a kid but let me not openly speculate about something like that Billionaires are a cancer. Even the ones you like.

And I don’t think it’s too disrespectful to discuss. After all, we’re not gossiping or tabloid-ing. We love and care about M ❤️ But thank you for enlightening me. I definitely have more respect for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Who Is It wasn't done 'cause he felt it would be awkward to perform  there's not a lot of high energy or peaks in that song so I guess I get it? But imagine him busting out that beat boxing on stage Actually y’all, he performed it during the history tour  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
