Sweet Sacrifice Lyrics
but its so clear
now that I'm unchained
taking over all the time
fear is only in our minds but its taking over all the time
dry your eyes and testify
you know you live to break me- don't deny
sweet sacrifice
and one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain
taking over all the time
fear is only in our minds but its taking over all the time
dry your eyes and testify
and oh you love to hate me don't you, honey?
I'm your sacrifice.
I sleep to die e
rase the silence
erase my life
our burning ashes
blacken the day
a world of nothingness
blow me away]
are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?
dry your eyes and testify
you know you live to break me- don't deny
sweet sacrifice
Amy's description of the song:
"It's the one song on The Open Door that's about the same abusive relationship which was the source of all the songs on Fallen. It was appropriate to put this song at the beginning, but it comes from a much stronger standpoint than Fallen. It's not saying, 'I'm trapped in fear and somebody save me.' It's saying, 'Fear is only in our minds ... I'm not afraid anymore.'"
Favourite off the album so far. I hope it's a single. Fantastic mix of that heavy guitar, haunting vocals, catchy tunes and amazing lyrics. There couldn't be any more proof of how talented they are.
6 out of 5 stars.
does any1 else think this song could be about a girl that was abused or raped by a guy and she needs to overcome her fear and testify against him?
I really like what I've heard of the new album so far with the clips of the songs on the Evanescence myspace. I personally like the new style of lyrics. I like the old style as well. I don't see why a band should stick to one way of writing just for familiarity's sake.
Whoops, double post. sorry.
This song is, so far, the best off the new album. Today, I went out and bought the whole cd. It's awesome. I love it. About the whole oh-my-gosh-evanescence-sucks thing. They don't suck and they never will. I mean, every band needs a change and I think this change is nice. Fresh. Something new. I do think that, because Ben left, none of their upcoming albums will be the same as their "Fallen" album. It's not like they changed from rock/alternative to country, for gods sakes. Relax people. Evanescence will always be the best band of all time.
One word: revenge
To me this song never made sense. I would just skip it and go to number two. then one day i listen and it took on meaning. i may be totally wrong but to me it's about rape. she fears going on the stand to testify. she hates that she has to sacrifice herself to attempt to put the one who hurt her away. amy would be playing the mind of the girl and the physical version of her sacrifice.. just what i think..
''It's true, we're all a little insane. But it's so clear, Now that I'm unchained'' Amy understands that everyone has their moments, but she's had enough. She now understands now that she's left.
Fear is only in our minds, Taking over all the time. Fear is only in our minds but it's taking over all the time. She's afraid to leave this person or stand up for herself.
You poor sweet innocent thing. Dry your eyes and testify. You know you live to break me. Don't deny. Sweet sacrifice. She's finally gotten the revenge she wanted. He's begging for forgiveness but he's gotta live all the hell she went through.
One day I'm gonna forget your name, And one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain. While Amy's moving on, he's going to suffer the pain she once had.
And oh you love to hate me don't you, honey? I'm your sacrifice. She had to pay for his hatred. She was the one who had to deal with it all.
Do you wonder why you hate? Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes? He's realized what he's done and wonders why he was so horrible.
JUST MY OPINION :)
holy crap this sound completely different from what i'd expect from evanescence. only 4/5 stars.
i guess their music styles can be categorized as pre-fallen, fallen, and post-fallen? i haven't listened to the other new songs.
