Sacrifice
Sacrifice: Battling Inner Demons and Love's Toll
Lyrics
It's so familiar to me
Reflecting on the familiarity of a situation or feeling.
A gun in your hand, a hole in my chest
Describing a threatening scenario with a gun causing harm.
And now you strike a match and inhale
Symbolizing destructive actions with the imagery of striking a match and inhaling.
It's now to the point where it's all so routine
Expressing a sense of monotony and repetition in the situation.
The anchor's up, your ship has been sailed
Indicating a departure or the irreversible nature of an action.
Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind
Encouraging self-reflection and battling internal struggles.
Satisfy your worst intentions, I'm your sacrifice
Acknowledging the speaker as a sacrifice for someone's negative intentions.
Dressing yourself up to kill
Describing the act of preparing oneself to cause harm.
You do this for peace, you do this for love
Suggesting that harmful actions are done in pursuit of peace or love.
But you know there has to be loss
Acknowledging the inevitability of loss in the pursuit of personal goals.
Lives torn apart as you've hit your mark
Describing the impact of the speaker's actions on the lives of others.
You'll take your share at anyone's cost
Highlighting a willingness to harm others at any cost.
Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind
Repeating the call for self-reflection and internal struggle.
Satisfy your worst intentions, I'm your sacrifice
Reiterating the speaker's role as a sacrifice for negative intentions.
The metal is cold to lift and to hold
Describing the physical sensation of handling cold metal.
But now my heart feels the warm undertow
Contrasting the physical coldness with a warm emotional undertow.
I cannot breathe, the way I feel about you suffocates
Describing difficulty breathing due to intense emotions for someone.
I will not speak, the words I feel about you go to waste
Choosing not to vocalize feelings, letting them go unheard.
I will lay here until my body washes up on shore
Expressing a sense of resignation or awaiting an inevitable fate.
I'll sacrifice with everything I believed in before
Committing to sacrifice everything the speaker once believed in.
I'll get back up and do it again
Expressing resilience and the willingness to endure hardship again.
Close your eyes to fight the demons deep within your mind
Repeating the call for self-reflection and internal struggle.
Satisfy your worst intentions, I'm your sacrifice
Reiterating the speaker's role as a sacrifice for negative intentions.
