Sacrifice
Elton John - www.musicasparabaixar.org Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics to Elton John's "Sacrifice" center around a tumultuous relationship and the struggles of a partner when temptation and negativity begin to seep in. There is a sense of desperation and longing in the lyrics, as the partner laments the loss of direction and misunderstanding that has occurred between them. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that despite the hardships, there is no sacrifice being made in the relationship, it's just two hearts living in separate worlds.
The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, describing the feeling of temptation and the scent of a lover that lingers. The second verse takes a darker turn, with the mention of a prison of sensitivity and jealousy burning. The chorus repeats that there is no sacrifice being made, and the final lines of the song echo this sentiment with a haunting repetition of "No sacrifice, at all."
