Sacrifice
Racer X Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From the first day you stole my heart
You took it for granted you broke it apart
Oh oh oh oh

You never wanted to be
Mine and now I see
It's touch and go
I know you know that I need you so

You've taken the stars you robbed the moon
My glass heart it shatters shatters for you
Ou ou ou ou

Cut on the jagged edge
I'm bleeding for you
My world is red
I'm fading fast
Don't think I can last
I feel myself goin'

Sacrifice
I'd die for you
You've sacrificed
Our love is true
I'll never see
Why you want me to be your sacrifice

I wished a thousand wishing stars
To Earth they come crashing since we broke apart
Oh oh oh oh

Up in flames go my dreams
Burnt into ash or so it seems
My world is black there's no going back
There's no starting over

Sacrifice
I'd die for you
You've sacrificed
How we are through
You've sacrificed
Our love could do
Why can't you see
What you're doin' to me
I'll never be




What you want me to be
Your sacrifice

Overall Meaning

The song "Sacrifice" by Racer X tells the story of a man who is deeply in love with a woman who doesn't feel the same about him. The lyrics convey his pain and frustration as he realizes that their love is not reciprocated. From the very beginning, he gave her his heart only for her to take it for granted and break it apart. He expresses his need for her and his desperation for her to see how much he loves her despite the fact that their love is one-sided.


The chorus of the song reveals the depth of his love for her as he says he would die for her and be her sacrifice if that's what it took to make her see how much she means to him. He acknowledges that she has sacrificed their love, but he still holds onto the hope that their love is true and that they can start over. However, he quickly realizes that his dreams are up in flames, burnt into ash, and there's no going back. He's left with a broken heart and is fading fast.


The song is a powerful ballad that highlights the agony and desperation of unrequited love. It's a common theme in love songs, and Racer X did an outstanding job of capturing the emotions of the situation. The lyrics are hauntingly beautiful, and the melody is perfectly crafted to convey the sadness and heartbreak of the situation.
