Sacrifice
Provision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No way to separate the indifference.
Put your heart in the hands of a lifeless soul.
And your Faith in what was only a dream.
I'm all out of trust.
My love was never enough.
You took my, heart as a Sacrifice.
My love was never enough. My love.
The song "Sacrifice" by Provision is a contemplative piece that delves into themes of guilt, indifference, and faith. The opening line paints a somber picture of being born into a life filled with sin, indicating a sense of helplessness that exists from the very beginning. The following line speaks of the inability to separate from this indifferent reality, with the world seemingly intent on perpetuating the cycle of guilt and sin.
The next two lines signify a complete surrender to such circumstances. While placing trust in a lifeless soul, and having faith in mere dreams might seem like a feeble attempt at coping, it demonstrates the sheer desperation of a mind that has had enough. The lines thereafter drive home the point further about running out of trust, with one's love never being enough. The last line, "You took my heart as a Sacrifice", could be interpreted to mean that the singer's heart was given away willingly or taken away forcibly in the name of a sacrifice, like the ultimate offering to appease a higher power, but ultimately results in the person being left empty.
Overall, the song presents a bleak outlook on life, one where even the strongest emotions like love and trust are not enough to triumph over the harsh realities of guilt and indifference. It reveals the deep longing for something beyond what is visible and attainable, driving the listener to introspect about their own lives and the sacrifices they have made or are willing to make.
