Sally
Go Away Bird Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Strawberry juice
You have no time when you get on the loose
I certify your official excuse for the booze
Your alibis – ironclad and watertight
They guarantee your exceptional right overnight

And you end up in the weirdest place
Greeting the dawn with random gays
They try to sound like a fall from grace
But in your face

Sally, you gotta breathe out and live for the moment
‘Cause you were born in the year of the rabbit
There was a moderate drought and the radio shouted
"You gotta fight for your right"

Strawberry juice
You have no time when you get on the loose
I certify your official excuse for the booze

And oh my God
What an owner of a lonely heart
He wants your fresh meat to restart
But even not trying hard

And you end up in the weirdest place
Greeting the dawn with random gays
They try to sound like a fall from grace
But in your face

Sally, you gotta breathe out and live for the moment
‘Cause you were born in the year of the rabbit
There was a moderate drought and the radio shouted
"You gotta fight for your right"

On the telephone, hold on, come on, come on
On the telephone, hold on, come on, come on




On the telephone, hold on, come on, come on
On the telephone, hold on, come on, come on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Sally" by Go Away Bird are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors. The song seems to be addressing a woman named Sally who may be struggling with alcoholism or addiction. Lines like "Strawberry juice, you have no time when you get on the loose" and "I certify your official excuse for the booze" suggest that Sally may be using alcohol as a coping mechanism. Nevertheless, Sally's alibis are "ironclad and watertight", meaning that she is good at convincing herself and others that she is in control of her alcohol consumption.


However, the chorus of the song urges Sally to "breathe out and live for the moment" because she was "born in the year of the rabbit". This line suggests that Sally may have a tendency to overthink things or get lost in her own thoughts, and that she needs to focus on enjoying the present instead of worrying about the past or future. The fact that there was a moderate drought when Sally was born and that the radio shouted "you gotta fight for your right" adds another layer of meaning to the song. It could be interpreted as a reminder that life is unpredictable and that we have to be proactive in order to achieve our goals.


The final lines of the song include the repeated phrase "on the telephone, hold on, come on, come on." It is unclear what this means exactly, but it could be a metaphor for Sally trying to connect with someone or something outside of herself. It's a poignant and somewhat ominous note to end the song on, leaving the listener wondering about Sally's fate.


Line by Line Meaning

Strawberry juice
Your life is sweet like strawberry juice


You have no time when you get on the loose
You forget your responsibilities when you are having fun


I certify your official excuse for the booze
I confirm your false reason for drinking


Your alibis – ironclad and watertight
Your excuses are unbeatable


They guarantee your exceptional right overnight
They assure you that you are special and deserve to do what you want


And you end up in the weirdest place
You find yourself in unexpected situations


Greeting the dawn with random gays
You are partying with strangers when the sun comes up


They try to sound like a fall from grace
They pretend to be morally corrupt when they are not


But in your face
They cannot fool you


Sally, you gotta breathe out and live for the moment
Sally, relax and enjoy life


‘Cause you were born in the year of the rabbit
Your Chinese zodiac sign symbolizes peace and good fortune


There was a moderate drought and the radio shouted
There was a time of hardship and the media encouraged fighting for what is right


"You gotta fight for your right"
You need to stand up for yourself and your beliefs


And oh my God
An expression of surprise


What an owner of a lonely heart
A person who is desperate for love and attention


He wants your fresh meat to restart
He desires you for his own gratification


But even not trying hard
Without much effort


On the telephone, hold on, come on, come on
Repetition of sounds without clear meaning


On the telephone, hold on, come on, come on
Repetition of sounds without clear meaning


On the telephone, hold on, come on, come on
Repetition of sounds without clear meaning


On the telephone, hold on, come on, come on
Repetition of sounds without clear meaning
