Elton John / Sacrifice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My thoughts dwell on what is profane
Becoming inhumane
Hate, rise above compassion
Emotions surge to this reaction
My Eyes See Red
In these lyrics, the singer is describing a state of turmoil within their mind. They are constantly in pain and their thoughts are fixated on things that are considered taboo or immoral. They feel themselves becoming less human and more disconnected from the world around them. Despite their desire to feel compassion for others, they are unable to rise above their own hatred and negative emotions. As a result, they feel themselves becoming more and more consumed by anger and aggression, until everything they see is colored by a red haze.

"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
