Michael Jackson - Scared Of The Moon Lyrics






Alone she lays 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 color
That rides on the night
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 said
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 a 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 the truth
The moon is the enemy
Twisting her soul
And taking its fearful toll
Scared of the moon

But now there are others who sit in a room
And wait for the sunlight to brighten their gloom
Together they gather
Their lunacy shade
But knowing just why they're scared
Scared of the moon

Scared of the moon
Scared of the moon
Scared of the moon
Scared of the moon

Michael Jackson Scared Of The Moon Comments
  1. C.... T....

    this song is so slept on

  2. S.... L....

    So tonight the electricity was gone and all the neighbours ran around with flashlights.
    Me : Imma listen to this song and watch the moon.

  3. K.... B....

    Beautiful song scared of the moon

  4. S.... L....

    3:08 where is this from? It looks like Tanith and Valkyrie from Skulduggery Pleasant to me.

  5. M.... T....

    Michael got the idea for this song from Brooke Shields when she told him about someone she knew who was afraid of the moon.

  6. J.... P....

    An inspiration and total delight to my filthy ears

  7. B.... D....

    "Together they gather, their lunacy shared". Great wordplay, Michael.

  8. J.... D....

    3:34-4:09 Who Is That Person In Spotlight Doing Smooth Criminal Dance And Where Can I Find Video

  9. S.... L....

    I always listen to this song when I want to sleep.

  10. C.... S....

    he said I have a gift

  11. T.... ....

    He wrote that song inspired by the story that Brooke Shields told him that her half sister is scared of the moon. :D So cute!!! So beautiful!

  12. J.... C....

    he s a poet songs so than very beautiful. a eternal. magical and a innocent guy.

  13. M.... W....

    the song was written after Brooke Shields told him one of her step-sisters was scared of the moon. He thought that was fascinating.

  14. S.... O....

    I've produced the instrumentals for this song. Like if you'd like me to upload on my Channel!

  16. L.... ....

    What an angelic voice Michael Jackson had. And wouldn't you know that he would even be concerned for those that truly have a fear of the moon. He was a beautiful soul, through and through.

  17. C.... M....

    I Love this have for ever isn't this a Wonderful tune*****!!**

    remy kidd it was probably edited

  25. R.... S....

    ...Há Magia nas canções de Michael Jackson!!!
    Eterno ♡
    linda Song. amo essa.

  26. s.... b....

    Michael my king you are unbelievable incredable invicible you are my life

  27. B.... K....

    this is a song about children who have some type of psychosis that has continued into adulthood, or at least that's how it resonates with me. I'm scared of the night time

    B.... K....

    I was like you being scared of the night time until I realized it was due from nightmares I didn't remember right away. Now I have conditioned my mind to wake me up when I'm in a nightmare. I know it will sound stupid but I can literally hear myself telling me "Monster 3D... you're in a nightmare... this isn't the truth... wake you up!" Since I can do it I'm no more scared. Wish you find soon what will be your way to feel comfortable even at night!!! hug

    B.... K....

    When I was six or seven I was extremely scared in the dark. Especially the room I was sleeping in frightened me, so I often went in the kitchen and slept under the table. When I got older, it was not my room or moon scaring me, but total darkness, like in a closed room. It caused panic attacks. One night I slept at my friend`s house and I had one of those. We were three and I was sleeping at the other side of the bed, but in some way she noticed my fear and suddenly I felt her hand searching for mine. Since then I`m never scared of the dark.

  28. M.... M....

    Love it!

  29. s.... ....

    Wonderful song!
    Though the Moon is wonderful too...:)

  30. C.... D....

    This song should've been in Majora's Mask.

  31. B.... V....

    Einfach cool

  32. R.... K....

    miss you King....
    your voice is so soothing...relaxing.... emotional.....

  33. t.... ....

    What a lovely song. Super talented guy. Gone too soon....

  34. T.... L....

    No Reason to be Scared of the Moon ... those who are are those who know they are Guilty ... who are very Bad with themselves ... Bad Consciousniess ...

  35. J.... L....

    Iv never heard of someone being scared of the moon.As a child I was scared of the night because of the dark but the moon didn't bother me

  36. s.... t....

    Well, this song is not about some alien....this song is about a child feeling lonely and lost in its own strange world... very sad  ;-(   but hey! Just don't forget to smile, no matter what  :-)

  37. J.... F....

    OK, I get that you like Michael Jackson, and clearly, you love Final Fantasy. And I mean Who doesn't, they are both fantastic IP's But the two should not be mixed, and this video is proof of that. They just don't work together, they compel completely different emotional messages, and I'm sorry, I realise you must have put a fair bit of work into editing this video, but the two simply do not mix.

  38. 7.... v....

    Did you know that Michael has a song called scared of the moon, which is intended for children who are afraid of the moon, which is a real problem experienced by many children.

  39. l.... o....

    damn, for some reason this song scares me.

  40. i.... l....

    No one can sing the lyrics as meaningful as Michael Jackson. His voice touches the heart. His voice sounds like heaven !! Love you and I miss you so much . My Beautiful, precious, unforgettable, Beloved Michael !!

  41. T.... S....

    Now, you could take this song two ways.
    1. It's about a girl who has a phobia of the moon.
    2. It's about a girl who is abused by someone (most likely her dad) who comes home usually at night time so she develops a phobia of the moon and when she grows up she is still haunted by it.

    Deep...

    T.... S....

    Ask David Icke

    T.... S....

    THE SRS damn deep. I love his style and his story telling ability.
    his voice is so hauntingly beautiful.

    T.... S....

    Well I just read the book "My friend Michael" by Frank Cascio and there he said that he wrote that song inspired by the story that Brooke Shields told him that her half sister is scared of the moon :)

    T.... S....

    +THE SRS boi No

    T.... S....

    tss92777 Oh didn't know that..
    but it's more likely a story..with a play on words.
    I'm sure frank wasn't enabled to grasp the artistic intricacies of the song or michaels vision.
    and that's what he was told By michael (if that's true that michael and him talked on this)

  42. A.... ....

    i love these songs more than the others cause i love ALL of you , i m not scared of the moon cause i want you to take me there FIRST !!!!!

  43. P.... F....

    I'll never forget the first time I heard this song. It was after Michael passed and I was searching some of his songs. I had never heard this one. I couldn't believe he composed this song...but then why was I surprised. He was so thoughtful of others...especially those who suffered in any way..even being afraid of the moon. Bless his beautiful soul. Miss him.

    P.... F....

    Pennies FromHeaven yes! Like who thinks of music in this way???!! Nobody but him. He was an awesome musical genius. This song gives brings me so much peace

  44. 2.... ....

    Why did Michael sing a song about being scared of the moon. Noone needs to be scared of the moon. Michael himself loved the moon. So why these frightening lyrics??????  -  The feeling of terror she felt as a youth has turned to a truth. The moon is the enemy  twisting her soul and taking its fearful toll.
    What did Michael mean by these words.  Uuuh, very frightening lyrics in contrast to the comforting melody. What did Michael mean by this????

    2.... ....

    +21stellaluna did you read the replies to your comment. They are listed below, but I see they are not attached to your comment by "replies" so was not sure you saw them. It answers your question.

    2.... ....

    21stellaluna maybe Paris was scared of the dark as a kid, and MJ wrote a song about it.
    it's pretty.

    2.... ....

    i heard it was about a child who has an abusive parent and they come home when the moon is out so it caused her to have a phobia of the moon

  45. I.... D....

    So beautiful <3

  46. H.... A....

    Oh god , I thank god for introducing me to this greatest artist!

  47. A.... G....

    Definitely one of my big faves, so deep

  48. l.... ....

    Night of blue moon, and I listen this beautiful song.
    Scare of the moon.

  49. F.... y....

    I love you Michael, i love your music amo i love this songs😍

  50. K.... F....

    J.... B....

    Hola Jayna , PRECIOSO!!! la VOZ de MICHAEL, es una DULZURA, saludos.

  53. D.... M....

    I'm scared of the fact this video was uploaded on August2 2007, and this person missed Michael from his dead. He died in June25 2009...

    D.... M....

    +HeyItsDaisy Xo you can change the description on your videos at any time

  54. s.... H....

    i have never heard this song before. i like it.

  55. v.... t....

    I LOVE THIS SONG😘😍💓

  56. K.... S....

    Michael sounds like such a child in this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  57. P.... ....

    Is it true it was wirtten for people with alzheimers?

    P.... ....

    @Michael Jackson No.

  58. H.... ....

    why in the dis it said missing you he didn't die in 2007

    H.... ....

    Right.. 😐😕

    H.... ....

    @Nixlikespie maybe they edited the description after? I dunno

    H.... ....

    Maybe since he hasn't been seen since 2005 because of the allegations he missed Michael and his music. 2009 is when he was seen again for the this is it concert..sadly that was the last time we got to see him 😔😢

  59. C.... C....

    bbmandy223MJ :  I loved ur comment :)

  60. M.... L....

    MJ voice and Piano sound 3!^^ 마이클의 너무나 아름다운 노래들이 더 알려져야 할텐데~

  61. D.... B....

    This is how diamonds should sound like if they were pure sound waves!!! Michael was a melody genius, thanks for existing! This is beautiful!

    D.... B....

    David Blues I love the way he usually does his own harmonies, sound effects and beats ( the human beat box). SIM gives me the chills. It's hauntingly beautiful.
    Who else can perfectly harmonize with MJ, other than MJ, himself!? That's where the perfection of most his songs come from. Not only did he write most of them, he new what he wanted. So he did it himself. Can anyone name someone who's musical strategies were consistently like this? I can't think of anyone...
    If was one thing, he was innovative and he kept up with each decade's likes...Someone
    like this comes along once in a lifetime and most of us got to see it/him...

  62. M.... ....

    Man, these lyrics are quite scary. Nearly sounds like he is talking about beings on the moon and the girl grows up and her childhood fears turn into the truth. And he sings about returning on beams of light. Lyrics are insane.

  63. L.... ....

    deerves many, many more views!  beautiful video and song.

  64. T.... B....

    This song was inspired by a story that Brooke Shields read in a book, and would talk to Michael about it

  65. l.... ....

    A beautiful ballad.

    l.... ....

    Hola lizelinda, preciosa balada, siempre es un regalo escuchar la DULCE voz de MICHAEL, un saludo.

  66. g.... _....

    was this song like redone by someone?? I feel like I've known this song for years but I don't ever remember listening to it.. Weird haha

    g.... _....

    Me too! The melody seems sooo familiar! Déjà vu!

    g.... _....

    AN ARMY

  67. R.... ....

    Amazing song. <3

  68. J.... G....

    I know he's still there too.*-*

  69. S.... O....

    So beautiful. His voice is angelic if that makes sense.

  70. k.... ....

     Bellisima!!!!! I Love You More!!! L★O★V★E

  71. c.... i....

    Love this...MJ miss you

  72. G.... ....

    This song just sounds like a different genre than what you normally hear by MJ. It's so good and calming! Rip the one & only king of pop! <3

  73. T.... K....

    He always in my heart

  74. N.... F....

    OMJ his voice.... ♥speechless♥

  75. P.... W....

    Apparently this song was written for Brooke Shields little sister who was scared of the moon....

  76. d.... E....

    T^T MICHAEL <3

  77. F.... M....

    YOU ARE EVERYTHING TO ME MICHAEL I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!

    F.... M....

    Aww..I like ur profile picture

  78. C.... J....

    I like the song its cute reminds me of somthing for a walt disney sound track

  79. C.... J....

    Stupied video

  80. u.... ....

    before he died he had a list of songs that he wanted to complete and this was one of the songs wish he had a chance to complete it :(

  81. P.... Y....

    You made me think the same :)

  82. J.... p....

    i am crying:'( so beautiful....

  83. C.... N....

    I don't believe this song is about the mentally ill...Michael is just showing understanding and compassion for people who have irrational, life long fears...and that's almost all of us.

  84. m.... B....

    sweet-sweet michael we will never forget you. angel up above i send all my love.

  85. A.... J....

    he didn't write this song

  86. n.... l....

    I kinda think it stayed a demo cause Michael kept wondering how to make it more magical.

  87. M.... t....

    this song just makes me feel so innocent it really touches my soul... im under a lot of pressure and this song makes me feel like everything will be okay.. thanks michael for making me escape for a little bit..

  88. T.... V....

    Michael Jackson is not dead. Wait and see <3

  89. N.... C....

    I listen to this song and "Someone In The Dark" every night before I go to the bed.
    It's so magical and mysterious and makes me miss, Michael so much.
    He's the reason why I love music. I really want to do a cover of this song
    in honor of him. He's my inspiration.

  90. G.... D....

    esta cancion es unas de las mejores canciones segun yo ¡VIVA MICHAEL JACKSON!

    G.... D....

    Hola Gorillaz Daré, apoyo tu opinión, la canción es preciosa!!! ViVA MICHAEL JACKSON!!! Un saludo.

  91. M.... E....

    this song is amazing :')

  92. a.... ....

    I almost think it's perfect they way it is, you know? So beautiful, just perfect. Wish this would have found a home on Invincible or History.

  93. A.... J....

    this video is awesome i could'nt imagine singing that

  94. U.... ....

    I'm talking about the dancemoves after 4:40 btw, I wasn't clear about that.

  95. U.... ....

    any particular reason you chose these dancemoves? Since coincidentally those were the dancemoves I learned when I was following some salsa dance lessons, well, they are the ones I remember best because they were the most fun to do.

    I also happen to know a lot about the Great Conspiracy (NWO/Illuminati/Satanism) that also took/claimed the life of Michael Jackson because Michael was part of the REAL truthmovement and his songs had too much impact for his own good (when you threaten the system..).

  96. r.... c....

    i miss you my dearest!

  97. b.... ....

    i do kinda imagine a choir of children joining in.. making it more haunting.. yana x

  98. j.... m....
