SALLY´S SONG
Amy Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That feels 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?
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one
Amy Lee's "Sally's Song" is part of the soundtrack for the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas". It is a song about unrequited love and a sense of impending doom. Sally has feelings for someone, but she cannot shake the feeling that something terrible is going to happen. She wants to be with this person, but she feels that it is not meant to be. Sally is torn between her desire to be with the person she loves and her sense of duty to try to prevent some misfortune that she thinks is coming.
The song's lyrics express Sally's uncertainty and her inner turmoil. The lyrics touch on themes such as fate, inevitability and sacrifice. Sally is afraid of what the future holds, but at the same time, she knows that she has to do what is right. She wants to join the crowd of people who seem happy and enthusiastic, but she finds that it is not possible for her. The song's melancholy tone captures Sally's sense of sadness and despair.

I sense there's something in the wind
My intuition tells me that a tragedy is approaching
That feels like tragedy's at hand
I have a strong feeling that something terrible is about to happen
And though I'd like to stand by him
Although I want to support him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
I can't get rid of this gut feeling that something bad will happen
The worst is just around the bend
I fear that the worst is yet to come
And does he notice my feelings for him?
I wonder if he is aware of my romantic feelings towards him
And will he see how much he means to me?
I hope he realizes how much he matters to me
I think it's not to be
But I believe that we can never be together
What will become of my dear friend
I am concerned about what will happen to my dear friend
Where will his actions lead us then?
I am uncertain about where his actions will take us
Although I'd like to join the crowd in their enthusiastic cloud
Even if I want to be part of the happy and enthusiastic crowd
Try as I may, it doesn't last
My attempt to feel cheerful is always short-lived
And will we ever end up together?
I wonder if we will ever be together
No, I think not, it's never to become
But I believe that we can never be together
For I am not the one
Because I am not the right person for him

If this movie ever gets a live action version, Amy lee would be a perfect Sally.

Oh yes, she so would! Her voice is perfect for it! I would love to see that.
@firekind1980
@Laura James she has or had at least. I've not seen her in years. the look too. It wil be remade sometime. It it was live action I don't think I'd mind too much. It would be different at least.
