I have to pick a song and write a what it's about for a project. I chose Stranger in Moscow by Michael Jackson because it's one of my favourite songs but I don't quite understand the lyrics. Could someone explain them for me? :)

Thriller said it perfectly. You could compare it to the fact that you could be the most popular person in high school and still feel completely and utterly alone. The song is a very emotional song for Michael because it's about when he felt lonely, for a very long time, he was very miserable, that's what the song is about!

I think it was about how lonely he really was being in the spotlight and all. And the media after his every move. And the Moscow part...i'm not so sure. I'll google it. lol edit: Moscow is a very large city, so maybe he felt like even though there are so many people that love him, he'll still feel alone? Thats just a guess. Hope i helped.

It is a song Michael wrote about his loneliness while he was in Moscow. When he is on stage he has all of his fans but when he is offstage he is lonely, because he is a big star he doesn't have many "real" friends!

It's a song about being lonely. Even if you are a celebrity and have fame and money, being in a foreign city all alone can still make anyone feel empty.
