Amy Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That seems like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
What will become of my dear friend
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one
And will we ever end up together?
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one
In the song "Sally's Song" by Amy Lee, the singer is expressing her inner turmoil about her unrequited love for a man who is heading towards an uncertain future. She senses that something ominous is about to happen to him, and is worried about his well-being. Despite her desire to be by his side, she can't shake off her premonition that things will not end well. The singer is also conflicted about her feelings towards him. She wonders if he notices her affection for him, and if he will reciprocate her feelings. However, she resigns herself to the fact that they will never end up together, as he is not the one for her.
The overall theme of the song is about unrequited love, uncertainty, and the fear of the unknown. The singer is afraid of what the future holds for her and the man she loves, and is torn between her desire to be with him and her intuition that they will not end up together. The song's haunting melody and the ethereal quality of Amy Lee's voice add to the sense of foreboding and melancholy that permeates the lyrics.

I sense there's something in the wind
I have a strange feeling that something bad is about to happen
That seems like tragedy's at hand
It feels like something disastrous is about to occur
And though I'd like to stand by him
Even though I want to be there for him and support him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
I cannot get rid of this negative feeling inside me
The worst is just around the bend
The most terrible outcome is just about to happen
And does he notice my feelings for him?
Does he realize how I feel about him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
Does he understand how important he is to me?
I think it's not to be
I think it's unlikely to happen
What will become of my dear friend
I'm worried about what will happen to my close friend
Where will his actions lead us then?
What will be the consequences of his decisions?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
Even though I want to fit in and be like everyone else
In their enthusiastic cloud
In their excited and passionate group
Try as I may, it doesn't last
No matter how hard I try, I can't keep up that feeling of excitement and enthusiasm
And will we ever end up together?
Will we ever become a couple or be in a romantic relationship?
No, I think not, it's never to become
No, I don't believe it will happen, it's impossible
For I am not the one
Because I'm not the right person for him
