Sacrifice
Dreamwalk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be born again with a different face.
But what I hold inside will survive to see
Manifest itself when again I'll be.
I give all I have done,
What I could have become,
For this
This is my sacrifice.
Burn down all my bridges,
Abandon all I have.
Let go of this world
I worshipped so.
And the brittle shell broke down and fell
To bring me down into your well.
But the things we do, and the things we say
They will never change, they remaind the same.
We give all we have done,
What we could have become,
For this
Dream, dedicate this one life;
This is my sacrifice.
Burn down all my bridges,
Abandon all I have.
Let go of this world
I worshipped so.
From my abandon rises light,
This is my sacrifice.
The lyrics of the song Sacrifice by Dreamwalk speaks to the idea of rebirth and renewal, of being given another chance to start afresh. The opening lines “In another time, in another place, I'll be born again with a different face” suggests the need for change and transformation - a sense that the individual is ready to discard their past and embrace a new and different future. The song emphasises the idea that what we hold inside (our hopes, our dreams, our desires) have the capability to survive beyond our immediate circumstances, that our future selves will carry on these passions and ultimately realise them.
The song advocates the idea of letting go of the things that hold us back from achieving our dreams in order to move forward, to dedicate oneself to a new life and relinquish the past. The lines “Burn down all my bridges, abandon all I have, let go of this world I worshipped so” are a powerful metaphor for the idea of breaking free from the chains of one's past, letting go of our attachments and making a clean break in order to move forward. The journey of letting go, of burning bridges, and abandoning previous versions of oneself is a necessary sacrifice.
The lines “From my abandon rises light, This is my sacrifice” is a powerful encapsulation of the transformative quality of sacrifice. By abandoning our old ways, shedding our former selves and making sacrifices along the way, we rise anew and are ultimately rewarded. Sacrifice represents the light that guides us through the darkness, the beacon that illuminates the path towards renewal.
