About Sacrifice

" A couple of years ago I spent 8 months in Puerto Rico, I rented a house on the beach. While I was there, 5 of my friends [couples] divorced. A lot of them had been together for 10 or more years and it was weird to be on the other side of the Atlantic and try to email or talk on the phone. Maybe because all the other songs are about elements, I guess I became an anthropologist and decided to write down in my book all the things that the girls were complaining about and all the things the guys were complaining about. .

Sacrifice Lyrics

[00:00.19] Why can't you give her room?
[00:08.28] Respect her spatial needs
[00:16.17]
[00:20.27] I feel you compress her
[00:28.26] Into a small space
[00:33.91]
[00:37.50] With clairvoyance
[00:41.74] She knew what you needed
[00:45.54] And she gave it to you
[00:53.57] Now her desires are repressed
[00:59.60] Arrows in the flesh
[01:04.38] When she found your love
[01:12.00] Her nature bowed her head
[01:18.69] She surrendered
[01:22.26] She renounced the world for you
[01:30.14] Now she's poisoned by demands
[01:35.79] You can not answer
[01:41.49] Why this sacrifice?
[01:45.53] Now she regrets the whole thing
[01:50.01] A delayed reaction
[01:57.46] When she left her craft voluntarily
[02:05.50] For your nest, for your love
[02:10.57] Did you understand?
[02:15.80] Appreciate
[02:22.54] Build a bridge to her
[02:30.11] Initiate a touch
[02:39.81] Before it's too late
[02:46.29] Say the words to her
[02:54.21] That will make her shine
[03:02.83] Tell her that you love her
[03:09.46]
[03:21.70] Your generosity will show
[03:25.73] In the volume of her glow
[03:29.76] Your generosity will show
[03:33.60] In the volume of her glow
[03:37.73] Your generosity will show
[03:41.63] In the volume of her glow
[03:47.04]
