Creed: My Sacrifice Meaning

Song Released: 2001

My Sacrifice Lyrics

Hello my friend
We meet again
It's been a while
Where should we begin?
Feels like forever
Within my heart
Are memories
Of perfect love that
You gave to me
Oh, I remember
When you are with me
I'm free, I'm careless
I believe
Above all...

   the anonymous comment about the 'loss of a woman' is particularly interesting: I read on http://www.geocities.com/totallycreed/meanings.htm that Scott (the song's writer) and his wife broke up essentially, and now he can spend more time with the band.... It would appear that he has sacrificed his relationship with his wife in order to better the world with his music... Although that seems INCREDIBLY foolish.

   I think that my sacrifice does not really mean something he does.
   If I may follow an above mentioned interpretation, he reunites with god. According to Christian believe the sacrifice of Christ on the cross was necessary to make this possible.
   
   Thus it could be a way of honouring Christ calling him "my sacrifice".

   I think this song represents finding yourself. Sometimes in life, we lose are true meaning and scott has found his inner child
   
   hello my friend
   we meet again
   it's been a while
   where should we begin? This is the point where scott finds his inner child)
   feels like forever
   within my heart
   are memories
   of perfect love that
   you gave to me (he is reeling in the old memories of days gone by and remembers that they are sweet to him)
   oh, I remember
   when you are with me
   i'm free, I'm careless
   i believe
   above all the others
   we'll fly
   this brings tears
   to my eyes
   my sacrifice ( his sacrifice is all our sacrfice, we all change as we age. In some ways good and others bad. After he finds himself he realizes that he can do anything "i'm free" )
   
   
   
   we've seen our share
   of ups and downs
   oh, how quickly life
   can turn around
   in an instant
   it feels so good to reunite
   within yourself and
   within your mind
   let's find peace there ( life can take you up and down and how things change in a heartbeat. Here is the key part " it feels so good to reunite within yourself and within your mind" no doubt, this is his meaning! )
   
   'cause when you are
   with me
   i'm free, I'm careless
   i believe
   above all the others
   we'll fly
   this brings tears
   to my eyes
   my sacrifice
   
   i just want to
   say hello again
   i just want to
   say hello again (here he know's that it's only for a moment, but was happy to see that moment come)
   
   when you are with me
   i'm free, I'm careless
   i believe
   above all the others
   we'll fly
   this brings tears
   to my eyes
   
   'cause when you are
   with me
   i'm free, I'm careless
   i believe
   above all the others
   we'll fly
   this brings tears
   to my eyes
   my sacrifice
   my sacrifice
   
   (I just want to
   say hello again)
   i just want to
   say hello again
   
   my sacrifice

   Try watching the music video guys. It's dedicated to the events of September 11th which have made him turn to God once again, possibly because he has lost a friend.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   To me this sounds like what every Christian feels when he/she is saved. Thanks to God for delivering them from their sins. Finally they can be happy.

   Yeah, I pretty much believe with the message on top. Basically talking to god and telling him without him he's lost. If you have seen the video he's on top of a hill looking above of him and talking.

   I believe this song is about repenting in God and regaining or catching up on your Salvation.
   
   "Hello my friend we meet again"-
   talking(praying) to God
   "It's been awhile where should we begin, fells like forever"-
   When The lead singer of Creed was a young child his parents force him to go to church, when he was a teenager he cut himself off from the fam. and stoped attending church. Now he is a Christian again and is Talking to God
   "cuase when you are with me i'm free, im careless i believe, above all the others we'll fly, this brings tears to my eyes, my sacrifice"-
   God is great and when you are with him or we, we're above all others. Its all most enouhg to bring tears to your eyes.
