Sacrifice
La Ment Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Underneath, undernearth the grand unknown
It makes me feel, it makes me feel that I'm no one
I think of her, I think of her, and what I have done
We laid down on this hill and watched the sky
I turned away when she said, how blessed we are
Here I am, here I am, with the stars above
They have seen, they have seen each and every love
I ever made, I ever made but it had to pass
I am clear, I am white in emptiness
We laid down on this hill and watched the sky
I turned away when she said, how blessed we are
She's my sacrifice
There's no more left to leave behind
In silence I reborn tonight
She's my sacrifice
The song Sacrifice by La Ment is a hauntingly beautiful piece that speaks of love, loneliness, and the emptiness that follows when one is forced to make a sacrifice in the name of love. The opening lines "Here I am, here I am, far away, alone, Underneath, underneath the grand unknown, It makes me feel, it makes me feel that I'm no one", sets the tone for the rest of the song. The song's protagonist is far away and alone, feeling insignificant and isolated from the world. However, the line "I think of her, I think of her, and what I have done" reveals that this isolation is self-imposed because of a decision he made.
The song then goes on to describe how the singer had made a sacrifice in the past, perhaps letting go of a love that he had cherished. The song speaks of a moment on a hill when the singer and his lover watched the sky, but when she said, "how blessed we are," the singer turned away. The phrase "She's my sacrifice" suggests that the singer had to let go of this love to pursue a higher purpose, to fulfill a commitment, perhaps to be true to himself.
In the last verse, the singer seems to have come to terms with his sacrifice. He lies under the stars and reflects on the love he had left behind, acknowledging that it was something that had to come to an end. The lines "There's no more left to leave behind, In silence, I reborn tonight" suggests that he has moved on from that love and has found a new sense of purpose in life. "She's my sacrifice" remains a constant reminder of what he had to give up for this newfound purpose.
