Sacrifices
Climbing the Ladder of Sacrifices: Julian Versace's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Tryna climb the ladder to the top
Expressing the desire to succeed and achieve a high position or goal.
I've been here too long for me to stop now
Emphasizing perseverance and determination despite being in the pursuit for a long time.
Tryna do it right but it's a lot now
Struggling to navigate challenges while attempting to do things correctly.
Tellin' me it's over there's no shot now
Receiving signals or feedback that a situation or relationship is coming to an end.
But I don't have the time to hear the opps now
Being too busy or focused to pay attention to opposition or negative influences.
I've been lookin' back I forgot where I'm goin'
Reflecting on the past and feeling lost about the future.
I thought I would see your face every mornin'
Anticipating the presence of someone important every morning but facing their absence.
But you left when I needed you the most baby
Expressing a sense of abandonment during a crucial time.
Not the first time so I guess I should've known
Acknowledging a pattern of abandonment, implying prior occurrences.
I guess people change shit it is what it is
Accepting that people change and expressing resignation to the situation.
Nothing left to do 'cause you did what you did
Feeling helpless as there is nothing left to do in the face of past actions.
There's no comin' back and that's hard to admit
Admitting the irreversibility of a situation and the difficulty in accepting it.
Got a feelin' ima be alone in the end
Foreseeing a future of solitude and loneliness.
In the end, I don't want to be alone in the end
Reiterating the desire not to be alone in the end.
No no, no no no
Strongly rejecting the idea of being alone in the end.
But that might be the price that I gotta accept
Considering the possibility of paying a price for the pursuit of personal goals.
Tryna climb the ladder to the top
Repeating the determination to climb the ladder despite challenges.
I've been here too long for me to stop now
Reiterating the commitment to continue despite the prolonged effort.
Tryna do it right but it's a lot now
Expressing the difficulty in doing things right due to the complexity of the situation.
Tellin' me it's over there's no shot now
Confirming the belief that it's over and there's no chance for reconciliation.
But I don't have the time to hear the opps now
Not having time to engage with opposition or negativity.
Sacrifices that I'm willin' to make
Acknowledging the willingness to make sacrifices for personal growth or change.
I guess all I really needed was some change
Suggesting that change is necessary and might be the solution.
Maybe we just need to go our separate ways
Contemplating the idea of parting ways as a potential solution to problems.
Yeah
Reiterating the need for separation or change.
It still hurts, I know
Acknowledging emotional pain that persists.
I hope you find what you're lookin' for
Wishing the other person success in their search for fulfillment.
They say time heals pain I don't know though
Expressing uncertainty about the healing power of time.
'Cause the more time that passes got me low low low
Experiencing emotional lows as time passes.
I just copped a zip I'm 'bout to blow smoke
Using substances (smoking) as a coping mechanism.
You wanted time alone we'll say no more
Acknowledging the need for space as requested by the other person.
'Cause I'm gone baby, had to let you go and it wasn't easy
Expressing the difficulty of letting go but recognizing it as necessary.
But I'm tryna climb the ladder to the top
Reaffirming the commitment to climb the ladder despite challenges.
I've been here too long for me to stop now
Reiterating the persistence in the pursuit despite the extended effort.
Tryna do it right but it's a lot now
Acknowledging the challenge of doing things right due to increased complexity.
Tellin' me it's over there's no shot now
Confirming the belief that it's over and there's no chance for reconciliation.
But I don't have the time to hear the opps now
Reiterating the lack of time to engage with opposition or negativity.
