Sacrifice


The Weeknd Lyrics

 

About

"Sacrifice" by The Weeknd, featured on his album "Dawn FM," navigates the complex terrain of personal freedom versus the constraints of romantic commitment. The track intricately weaves The Weeknd's inner confflict and his explicit reluctance to be tethered by the demands of a relationship, despite acknowledging a deep connection with the subject of the song​​​​. The essence of "Sacrifice" lies in The Weeknd's struggle with monnogamy and his candid confession about his inability to fully commit to a single partner. Through the lyrics, he portrays himself as someone inherently flawed or "broken" in the context of traditional romantic expectations, making it clear that despite his affection, he cannot offer the commitment his partner seeks​​. This theme is recurrent in his music, where he often explores the dichotomy of desiring intimacy while valuing personal freedom and the nightlife. The Weeknd's portrayal in "Sacrifice" is both a declaration of his lifestyle choices and a reflection on the implications these choices have on his relationships. The song, and particularly its music video, might also delve into more cultic and surreal themes, suggesting a broader narrative about influence, control, and perhaps the sacrifices made at the altar of fame and personal ambition​​. Musically, "Sacrifice" stands out through its collaboration with notable producers and songwriters including Max Martin, Oscar Holter, and Swedish House Mafia, lending the track a distinctive sound that complements its thematic depth​​.

Sacrifice by The Weeknd


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
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 sacrifice
Your love for more of the night
I try to put up a fight
Can't tie me down
I don't want to sacrifice
For your love
I try
I don't want to sacrifice
But I love my time
I hold you through the toughest parts when you feel like it's the end
'Cause life is still worth living
'Cause life is still worth living
I can break you down and pick you up
And f**k like we are friends
But don't be catching feelings
Don't be out here catching feelings
'Cause I sacrifice
Your love for more of the night
I try to put up a fight
Can't tie me down
I don't want to sacrifice
For your love
I try
I don't want to sacrifice
But I love my time
I don't want to sacrifice
For your love
I try
I don't want to sacrifice
But I love my time
Oh, baby
I hope you know that I, I tried
Oh, baby
I hope you know I love my time
I don't want to sacrifice
I don't want to
I try
I don't want to sacrifice
But I love my time
