Watch out Sally
Escape from the Chains of Deceit: Watch Out Sally
Lyrics
Watch out Sally
Warning to Sally
Watch out, I said watch out Sally
Repetition of warning, emphasizing caution
Like a tiger in a cage
Comparing Sally to a confined tiger
Ive got freedom on my mind
Expressing a desire for freedom
Cant keep thinking
Reflecting on persistent thoughts
Til the end of time
Commitment to this mindset until the end
I guess someday
Suggesting a future departure
Youll find me gone
Attributing departure to Sally's negative influence
Your evil ways make me feel so wrong
Labeling Sally's behavior as "evil"
Chorus
Indicating the start of the chorus
The magic life you were talking about
Disillusionment with the promised "magic life"
Turned out to be a nightmare to me
Revealing the nightmare reality
I heard of a place that is said to be free
Mentioning an elusive place of freedom
I cant go there on my own,
Expressing inability to reach that place alone
please leave me alone
Requesting solitude from Sally
Can you see the weeds
Noticing negative consequences (weeds) of Sally's actions
Growing under your feet
Highlighting the consequences beneath Sally
And very, very soon
Anticipating Sally's imminent troubles
Youll be lost in a jungle
Metaphorical reference to a jungle of problems
The devil is on its way
Warning of approaching danger or negativity
I can hear the rhythm beat
Sensing a threatening presence
Miles away from here
Locating the source of trouble at a distance
Always looking for trouble
Describing a habit of seeking trouble
Chorus
Reiteration of the chorus
You smile, you laugh
Observing Sally's reaction to the singer's suffering
when you see me on my knees
Emphasizing Sally's enjoyment of the singer's pain
Evil-eyed woman, she calls it love
Describing Sally as an "evil-eyed woman" with a distorted concept of love
The day before we met
Recalling a negative emotional state before meeting Sally
I was feeling kind of blue
Expressing a desire for death influenced by Sally
Tonight I want to die
Attributing the desire to Sally's impact
and thats because of you
Directly linking the desire for death to Sally
Now tell me Sally
Questioning Sally's deceptive actions
How many did you fool
Inquiring about the extent of Sally's deceit
With this smile of yours
Recognizing the deceptive power of Sally's smile
You can cry me a river
Invoking a classic metaphor for emotional distress
You can try out all your tricks
Challenging Sally's attempts to manipulate
But you cant fool me
Asserting immunity to Sally's tricks
Cause Ive learned to play your game
Claiming mastery in navigating Sally's manipulative tactics
Chorus
Final repetition of the chorus
