"Beat It" by Michael Jackson mainly focuses on avoiding violence by deliberately walking away from a fight. It is based on the introspection that goes on in every individual, mostly men when they find themselves in a fight or lose situation. 迈克尔·杰克逊（Michael Jackson）的《走开》主要关注的是通过故意远离一场战斗来避免暴力。这是基于每个人的内省，当他们发现自己处于战斗或失败的境地时，大多数是男性。

The "Beat It" music video, which features Jackson bringing two gangsters together through the power of music and dance, helped establish Jackson as an international pop icon. 这部名为“Beat It”的音乐视频通过音乐和舞蹈的力量将两名匪徒聚集在一起，帮助杰克逊成为国际流行偶像。

The message in this song is quite clear, however it can be interpreted from different perspectives. In the first verse, it appears Michael is advising a young man who gets involved with a gang to stay away because they don’t want him around anymore. They threaten him not to show up but he’s still trying to prove himself and is still bent on going anyways. 这首歌传达的信息非常明确，但可以从不同的角度进行解读。在第一节中，迈克尔似乎建议一个与帮派有牵连的年轻人走开，因为他们不想再让他在身边了。他们威胁他不要出现，但他仍在努力证明自己，并决心无论如何都要去。

The other side to the story is that despite the threats, choosing not to stand up and fight makes one feel less of a man and more of a wimp. This is the pressure a lot of guys face. On the inside, they know the smartest thing to do is not to pick up a fight. However, in their attempt to avoid being called weak, they do so or retaliate, and the cycle of violence continues. 故事的另一面是，尽管存在威胁，但选择不站起来战斗会让人觉得自己不是一个男人，而是一个懦夫。这是很多男人面临的压力。在内部，他们知道最明智的做法是不要挑起争斗。然而，为了避免被称为弱者，他们这样做或报复，暴力循环仍在继续。

The verses can also be categorized into two voices; the good voice which only wants peace, and the negative voice which wants you to get aggressive. The voices speak consequently in the second verse. For instance, the good voice tells him they’re out to get him so he has to leave while he can. However, the bad voice urges him to be a man, stand up for himself and not a boy who just runs off. 这些歌词也可以分为两种声音；好的声音只希望和平，而负面的声音希望你变得富有攻击性。这些声音在第二节中起了作用。例如，好s声音告诉他他们要抓他，所以他必须在可以的时候离开。然而，坏声音敦促他做一个男人，挺身反抗，而不是一个刚刚逃跑的男孩。

Right before Van Halen's guitar solo begins, a noise is heard that sounds like somebody knocking at a door. It is reported that the knock was a person walking into Eddie's recording studio. Another story has claimed that the sound was simply the musician knocking on his own guitar. The sound, however, is that of Jackson knocking on a drum case, as he is credited in the album's liner notes. The engineers were shocked during the recording of Van Halen's solo to discover that the sound of his guitar had caused the monitor speaker in the control room to catch fire, causing one to exclaim, "This must be really good!" 就在范·海伦的吉他独奏开始前，听到一种声音，听起来像有人敲门。据报道，敲门声是一个人走进埃迪的录音室。另一个故事称，声音只是音乐家敲击自己的吉他。然而，这是杰克逊敲打鼓盒的声音——专辑的衬里(CD/磁带盒里的纸)有说明。在录制范·海伦的独奏时，工程师们震惊地发现，他的吉他声导致了控制室的监听扬声器起火，这使得某人惊呼：“这一定很好！”

The lyrics:
They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't want to see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can
Don't want to see no blood, don't be a macho [大男子气概的] man
You want to be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you want to be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showing how funky [时髦] and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it

They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't want to be a boy, you want to be a man
You want to stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it

You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playing with your life, this ain't [is not] no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you want to be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
