Sacrifice
Blue System Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lonely highway was his home
Father told him what he used to be
"Don't bring scandal on my family." (he said)
Friends were always right on time
Oh no, there's o darkness - there's no crime
Things aren't anymore they used to be
"Don't bring scandal on my family." (he said)
Refrain
Oh no, why is love such a Sacrifice for you ?
On my wings of destiny
Leaving live and in Harmony
Oh no, why is love such a Sacrifice for you ?
On the road of mystery
You lose your Heart and Eternity
Dragon didn't understand
Oh, he stole money - killed a man
Destroyed his life - no sense to be
He brought scandal on my family (oh no)
Oh, he was not man enough
He killed himself - thought it's tough
Before he died he said to me
"Don't want scandal on my family." (he said)
"Don't want scandal on my family."
Refrain:
Oh no, why is love such a Sacrifice for you ?
On my wings of destiny
Leaving live and in Harmony
Oh no, why is love such a Sacrifice for you ?
On the road of mystery
You lose your Heart and Eternity
Oh no, why is love such a Sacrifice for you ?
On my wings of destiny
Leaving live and in Harmony
Oh no, why is love such a Sacrifice for you ?
On the road of mystery
You lose your Heart and Eternity
Oh no, why is love such a Sacrifice for you ?
On my wings of destiny
Leaving live and in Harmony
Oh no, why is love such a Sacrifice for you ?
On the road of mystery
You lose your Heart and Eternity
Oh no no, why is love such a Sacrifice for you ?
I don't know why, is love such a sacrifice for you?
Please tell me why, is love such a Sacrfice for you? (Why?)
The lyrics of Blue System's song Sacrifice tell the story of a man named Dragon who lived a reckless and restless life, wandering along lonely highways. His father warned him not to cause any scandal to the family but Dragon did not listen, ending up killing a man and stealing money. He destroyed his life and brought shame to the family. In the end, he took his own life, leaving behind a message to not bring scandal to the family.
The refrain of the song expresses the question of why love is such a sacrifice for some people, as the singer also takes his wings of destiny and leaves to live in harmony. However, in the road of mystery, people lose their heart and eternity, making it seem that the sacrifice of love is not worth it.
Overall, the song tells a story of the consequences of living a reckless life and how it can bring shame and scandal to one's family. It also explores the theme of the cost of love and how sometimes it may seem like a sacrifice that is not worth making.
