The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Sacrifice" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

Contents

The Weeknd's "Sacrifice" delves into the internal conflict between love and personal freedom. He sings about growing up in harsh conditions ("ice in my veins") that made him emotionally guarded.

The lyrical protagonist values his independence ("own it") and refuses to sacrifice it for love. He confesses to lying to his lover, promising to stay while knowing he's not ready. The hero struggles internally, trying to find a balance between love and freedom ("fighting for your love, but I love my time"). He supports his lover during tough times but avoids emotional attachment ("don't you get attached to me").

The recurring line "I sacrificed your love for more late nights" emphasizes his choice for nightlife, freedom, and possibly creative pursuits over a committed relationship.

In the final lines, the protagonist hopes his lover understands his need for freedom.

I was born in a city

Where the winter nights don't ever sleep,

So this life's always with me,

The ice inside my veins will never bleed.

My, ooh!

My, ooh!

Uh, every time you try to fix me

I know you'll never find that missing piece.

When you cry and say you miss me,

I lie and tell you that I'll never leave, but

I sacrificed

Your love for more of the night,

I try to put up a fight,

Can't tie me down.

I don't wanna sacrifice,

For your love, I try,

I don't wanna sacrifice,

But I love my timе.

My, ooh!

My, ooh!

I hold you through the toughest parts

When you feel likе it's the end

'Cause life is still worth living,

Yeah, this life is still worth living.

I can break you down and pick you up

And fuck like we are friends,

But don't be catching feelings,

Don't be out here catching feelings 'cause

I sacrificed

Your love for more of the night,

I try to put up a fight,

Can't tie me down.

I don't wanna sacrifice,

For your love, I try,

I don't wanna sacrifice,

But I love my timе.

I don't wanna sacrifice,

For your love, I try,

I don't wanna sacrifice,

But I love my timе.

Oh, baby,

I hope you know that I, I tried.

Oh, baby,

I hope you know I love my time, oh!

I don't wanna sacrifice,

I don't wanna, I try,

I don't wanna sacrifice,

But I love my time,

My, ooh!

My, ooh!
