From "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Chords from official book but slightly simplified. What have I done? What have I done? How could I be so blind? All is lost. Where was I? Spoiled all spoiled all everything’s gone all wrong. What have I done? What have I done? Find a deep cave to hide in. In a million years they’ll find me only dust and a plaque That reads "Here Lies Poor Old Jack." N.C. But I never intended all this madness never. And nobody really understood (well how could they?) that all I ever wanted was to bring them something great. N.C. Why does nothing ever turn out like it should? Well what the heck I went and did my best. And by God I really tasted something swell. (That’s right!) And for a moment why I even touched the sky. And at least I left some stories they can tell I did! And for the first time since I don’t remember when I’d felt just like my old bony self again. And I     Jack the Pumpkin King! N.C. (That’s right! I am the Pumpkin King! Ha ha ha!) And I just can’t wait until next Halloween ’cause I’ve got some new ideas that will really make them scream. And by God I’m really gonna give it all my might! (Uh-oh!) I hope there’s still time to set things right! (Sandy Claws... Hmm...)

À propos de la chanson

Dans cette chanson, le personnage principal se retrouve face à ses erreurs et à un profond sentiment de regret. Il se demande comment tout a pu tourner si mal, alors qu'il avait seulement voulu apporter quelque chose de merveilleux. Malgré son désespoir, il se remémore des moments où il a ressenti une grande joie, rendant ses aspirations sincères et touchantes. Il évoque également l'idée de se cacher et de laisser derrière lui des souvenirs, tout en gardant l'espoir de pouvoir corriger ses erreurs et de retrouver sa véritable identité. Cette réflexion s'inscrit dans le contexte d'une quête d'identité et de sens, typique de l'œuvre, où les personnages veulent sortir des schémas établis et explorent des voies nouvelles, parfois avec des résultats inattendus.
