“Jack’s Lament”
The Nightmare Before Christmas
How it relates: Jack is at the peak of his career in The Nightmare Before Christmas, but he feels like there has to be more to life than his success. Held at such a high esteem by people in his community, he still feels uneasy. That feeling is so relatable for someone who is closeted. Though you may have a support group and success, you can’t help but feel alone at times and that there’s something missing.
Takeaway lyric:
“Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones
An emptiness began to grow
There’s something out there, far from my home
A longing that I’ve never known”
