Smooth Criminal Lyrics

As he came into the window
Was a sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
She was sitting at the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down
It was her...

   I think this song is relatively simple. It's just describing a murder in full detail. I don't think there's really a deep underlying meaning.

   Actually, this song is about a hit man, hence the lyrics 'You've been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooth criminal'

   This song is about a woman named Annie who hears a loud noise when a burglar enters her home through her apartment window. As he enters he cuts himself on the glass and his blood stains her carpet. When she hears the noise she runs into the bedroom to she what the noise was only to be knocked unconscious by the burglar. Soon after somebody(I will venture a guess at her husband or boyfriend) finds them and scares the burglar away. This person the proceeds to wake Annie and tell her what happened after asking if she is ok.

   I think it's about a break up, but they ended it on good terms. no suicide.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   It is a remake of a michel jackson song
   they redid it by accident
   they started playing a few seconds of it at a concert
   and everyone started screaming for more of it
   so that night they went home and re did the song
   they as far as I know didn't even want this song to be that big but hey mtv made it big

   I would guess that this is about any musician/star who is idolized and worshipped during life and who is immortalized by taking his/her own life (whether it be suicide, overdose, accident, etc.) during their prime.
   
   To anyone as vain and self-absorbed as davey, this might seem like a more attractive option than to keep going until you get old and scraggly, while your talents fizzle out and everyone forgets (or just stops caring)about you. There are plenty of bands out there like that, like the rolling stones, pearl jam or even elvis, to name a few. On the flipside, Kurt Cobain died in his prime, leaving behind a legacy of revolutionary music and memories of a beautiful, yet pained, soul.
   
   Don't connect the video too much to the song. Remember that videos are more tied to the interpretation of the video producer than to that of the song-writer. I think that the video represents nothing more than idolotry and the idea of death. If you are trying to link the video specifically to hitler or the song to jesus, you are putting too much of your own personal spin on it.

   This is just a remake of the Michael Jackson song called smooth criminal. Same lyrics. I just don't know why they did it.
