Jack's Lament lyrics (my first lyrics video:D)
i don't own this song

[@8100du]

Anyone notice that Sally has basically the only remotely normal adult body in the entire movie? Jack is a freaking twig and then some people are like walking beach balls. I found this hilarious at first

[@almightytallest9812]

They are monsters lol

“Walking beach balls” 😂😂😂

At first?

[@kristianengland3478]

"Normal adult body" you mean normal besides her limbs constantly falling off and having to sew herself back together lol

"Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones, an emptiness began to grow" damn. That IS deep.

[@DownpourOfLead]

It’s his fighting with what people of expect of him and how he feels. People don’t give a shit about jacks feelings. But in his desperation for approval and love from others he takes over Christmas thinking it could fill the emptiness inside. But really he just needed to be comfortable in his own skin and live his life. Sally showed him that.

[@nicolasgralewicz4727]

[@sawyerpatton2932]

It couldn't have been that good if he calls Jack 'Mr Unlucky.'

[@CaliMaddy]

Sawyer Patton well he doesnt exactly have lips

[@CheshireCat-cm1si]

He probably just realized Jack was a real monster on Halloween, panicked, told everyone he'd seen a skeleton/scarecrow, no one believed him, and his life was ruined or something like that.

Don't people know that Jack was "alive" BEFORE slenderman?

[@thorwolfsbane1012]

Unless Jack is 1000 year old fairy tale, I doubt it

[@thorwolfsbane1012]

Slenderman didn't become popular until recently, but he originally was a legend known as tall man, they just change the name

[@shadsea770]

+Thor Wolfsbane slender man was created on a image board so no he is not real

[@alwayssinsational4718]

+shadsea madakin Actually, +Thor Wolfsbane is correct. Slenderman is based upon an old Romanian folktale called "Der Grossman", translating to "tall man". Sorry, I felt that I should put that out there. (: Old folklore like this interests me.

[@shadsea770]

PotatoSeason no that was added on to by some one else and NOT the original creator

[@AthenaLayug]

I just realized that the thing Jack was missing was love... and at the end of the movie that empty hole was filled by his love for Sally... Am I wrong?

[@hanensage8456]

Not only love, but heart-warming feelings... I think that's the reason he felt so attached to Christmas

Here are my lyrics for Sally if she married Jack: “There are few who'd deny, at what we do, we are the best For our talents are renowned far and wide! When it comes to surprises in those moonlit nights, We excel without ever even trying!~ With the slightest little effort of our ghostlike charms, We have seen grown men give out a shriek! With the wave of his hand, and a well-placed moan, We have swept the very bravest off their feet! “Yet year after year, it's the same routine… And I grow so weary of the sight of those things… And I, Sally, the Pumpkin Queen… Have grown so tired of the same old thing… “Oh, somewhere deep inside of my heart There’s something tearing it apart… There's something there, burned deep in my mind… A jealousy that turns it unkind… “He’s a master of fright, I’m a demon of light And we’ll scare you right out of your pants! To the all children who are orphans, I'm Miss Fortune And we’re known throughout England and France! “And since I am a doll, I can feel no pain at all, To endure such different confrontations! I’m the only woman to own him like I can! With the fury of my burning frustrations! “But why would he ever understand… That his Pumpkin Queen with this broken grin… Would tire of this abuse, if he only understood… I’d make it all stop if I only could… “To that tall man I do love so dear… Why do you stare at these harlots here…? This pain you’ve wrapped ‘round my heart like twine… Causes the empty tears that I cry every night…”

[@jonathanwolfman4581]

It's a bit off with the syllables it goes pretty well. Now we need both Jack and Sally singing their versions together.

[@adalbertarteezy336]

The guy from Kentucky seemed to know Jack for being Mr. Unlucky since Jack probably died for bad luck, and the guy saw when Jack died so the guy must keep Jack in his memories for being someone unlucky.

True... But it’s more fun to think that Jack did something to that one guy in Kentucky.

@XigMasterMac Actually, hate to break it to ya, but Slenderman was originally "The Great Man," a German mythological being, The Great Man is just the English translation of his German name. I'm of German descent, and I am also well versed in many mythological beings, trust me, he hasn't been around for a few years, his original being was an incarnation of Azriel, the Death Angel.
