A song from The Nightmare Before Christmas
Directed by Henry Selick

Lyrics
Something's up with Jack
Something's up with Jack
Don't know if we're ever going to get him back

He's all alone up there
Locked away inside

Never says a word

Hope he hasn't died

Something's up with Jack
Something's up with Jack

Christmas time is buzzing in my skull
Will it let me be? I cannot tell
There are so many things I cannot grasp
When I think I've got, and then at last
Through my bony fingers it does slip
Like a snowflake in a fiery grip

Something's here I'm not quite getting
Though I try, I keep forgetting
Like a memory long since past
Here in an instant and gone in a flash
What does it mean?
What does it mean?

In these little bric-a-brac
A secret's waiting to be cracked
These dolls and toys confuse me so
Confound it all, I love it though

Simple objects, nothing more
Bout something's hidden through a door
Though I do not have the key
Something's there I cannot see
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
Hmm...

I've read their Christmas books so many times
I k now the stories and I know the rhymes
I know the Christmas carols all by heart
My skull's so full, it's tearing me apart
As often as I've read them, something's wrong
So hard to put my bony finger on

Or perhaps it's not as deep
As I've been led to think
Am I trying much too hard?
Of course! I've been too close to see
The answer's right in front of me
Right in front of me

It's simple really, very clear
Like music drifting in the air
Invisible, but everywhere
Just because I cannot see it
Doesn't mean I can't believe it

You know, I think this Christmas thing
Is not as tricky as it seems
And why should they have all the fun?
It should belong to anyone

Not anyone, in fact, but me
Why, I could make a Christmas tree
And there's no reason I can find
I couldn't handle Christmas time

I bet I could improve it too
And that's exactly what I'll do
Hee, hee, hee
Eureka! This year Christmas will be ours!

I love that the residents of Halloween Town almost certainly have no idea wtf Jack is even talking about when he suddenly yells out the window that "This year, Christmas will be ours!" but they cheer anyway because he's Jack.

The imagery of him taking the lights from the "Christmas tree" while breaking the ornaments to put on an electric chair is such a perfect metaphor for what he is doing. I also low how Zero tries to clear his thoughts by showing him that he is the Pumpkin King and he totally misses the hint.

"Just because I cannot see it, doesn't mean I can't believe it!" ā€”Probably my favorite quote in the whole movie.

Jack: "And since I am dead, I can take off my head." Corpse kid: "Hope he hasn't died." Lock, Shock and Barrel: "Here he is, alive, just like we said."

This movie use to freak me out as a kid, I'm glad I got over it, because I'd say it's one of my top ten favorites. A true classic, that never should be ruined with a sequel or a remake. Movies like this just needs to be left alone,

I can't imagine anyone voicing Jack besides Danny Elfman. Since he also composed the music you can feel he really embodies the music and the character even better because of it.

The moral of the song is Jack thinks christmas is just like Halloween with small changes... He doesnt understand how to create the sense of joy he experienced and believes that scaring will give the same effect if delivered in a christmas way

I honestly feel like I was in jacks situation I would get obsessed with Christmas as strongly and quickly as he did. I mean I'm in the spectrum and getting obsessed with things is one of the characteristics that I have personally so honestly I can really relate to Jack and his reaction to finding something so unique and different to what he's used to.

"Like a snowflake in a fiery grasp" The harder you hold onto it, the quicker it slips through your fingers

Might be my favorite song in the whole movie. The way it's framed, the way it builds you get THE EUREKA moment at the same pace he does. Not to mention, its such a perfect reprise to Jack's Lament from earlier, but in a "twisted" way that is so poetic and perfect. He's so relatable here, but also clearly obsessed and goin a little nuts. It's so good.
