Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's the one that always makes you laugh
Who's the reason you're smiling
And dragged you through these time, so rough
I was the one that made you happy
I was the one that eased the pain
But I'm the reason that you're crying now
You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you want to be
Deeper than deep you took me on a trip baby
You shared your wildest dreams and more
You dare me to express my feelings to you
I never felt that need before
But suddenly you needed freedom
You felt the need to break free
You started drowning in your sorrow
You didn't want to know I had the key
You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you want to to be
You can sacrifice me, sacrifice me
You can be who you want to
You can be who you want to be
The song "Sacrifice" by Anouk is a heartfelt ballad about a person who was once the reason for their lover's happiness but is now the cause of their pain. The lyrics describe how the singer used to make their partner happy, always making them laugh and giving them reasons to smile during rough times. However, things have changed, and the partner is now crying, with their own tears scattered by the rain. The singer acknowledges their own fault in this situation, as they have become the reason for their partner's tears.
The second verse delves deeper into the relationship, with the partner taking the singer on a trip and sharing their wildest dreams. The singer is prompted to express their feelings, something they haven't felt the need to do before. Unfortunately, the partner suddenly feels the need to break free and drowns in their sorrow, not wanting to know that the singer had the key to save them.
The chorus repeats the phrase "You can sacrifice me," suggesting that the singer is willing to let go and set their partner free, no matter how much it hurts them. They want their partner to be who they want to be, even if it means sacrificing their own happiness.
Overall, the song "Sacrifice" is a moving depiction of a failing relationship and the emotional pain that comes with it. It's a reminder that sometimes love requires sacrifice and letting go, even if it means losing the one you love.

"Sacrifice" Lyrics
It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands
Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things lookin' better, baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts livin'
In two separate world
But, it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice, at all
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things lookin' better, baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts livin'
In two separate world
But, it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
