Yes...it really is that easy. There is a little lick here and there mixed in with the verse
Part, but its not worth much. Oh..and if you play along with the album, this will all sound
a little flat. I *think* they tune a tiny bit sharp, or they record, then speed the tape
up.
If you want to compensate, just bend the strings a tiny bit, or tune a tiny bit sharp.

| This song is not about being socially inept, nor about relationships per se. It isn't about suicide, either. The song is about struggling to succeed in a career of one's choice. (It was very probably written with regard to his music career, but you could of course apply it to your own situation.) Consider these lyrics: And I know that I don't have much I sacrifice a good life while I watch these bills keep adding up And these: I have to stop and wonder if it's all really worth the struggle Or that mirage of light I keep chasing at the end of the tunnel will get any brighter Or will it just fade away The closer I get , the further it seems From reaching my dreams A subtext to the song is how people tend to shit on you while you are struggling to succeed. You're chasing a dream, following your heart, and not choosing the path of easier financial success. Some people (actually, many people) don't understand this at all, and think only about money. Thus, those people are critics who never have anything good to say about the person who is following their heart. I said before that this song is not about suicide. Consider these lyrics: And I just don't know how much more I can Take before I give up and throw it all away Of course, you can go to the extreme and take "throw it all away" to be a reference to suicide, but I think that's a big leap to make. I take the phrase "throw it all away" to refer to giving up the fight for one's dream. (As in "Fuck this music career--I'm taking up carpentry!") Next, please consider these lyrics: I'm killing myself softly Again, I don't think this refers to suicide. Actually, it obviously doesn't refer to suicide. When you commit suicide, you're not "killing yourself softly". Instead, this line refers to the physical, mental, and emotional toll exacted by pursuing one's career of choice. If you've ever busted your ass by working and going to school at the same time, you know damned well what "killing yourself softly" means! When you think about the title of the song ("Sacrifice"), and other lyrics, such as "I hope it's worth it; Nothing is for certain", I think you will agree with me. | |

| Been awhile since anyone posted on this song. But hell with it. Can really relate to this song, how everything keeps piling up and there's nothing you can do about it but keep pressing on. About setting a goal and no matter how close you get you still feel always just out of reach. On another note, does anyone know what ever happened to him? | |

| I am totally agreeing with the above. Nothing is worth dying for. Lifes a bitch and sometimes you just have to take that slap. Shit happens so make the best of it. Look on the bright side of things, think positive and i promise there's hope... look through the darkness and find the light. | |

| I cant believe no one commented on this song yet! Its fucking great! You got to love this guys fucking vocals! So anyways... I think this song is about a guy that has no social life and is socially a loser. And everyone brings him down because everyone sees the weakness in him. In the begining of the song He likes this girl, but she feels he is a loser, and he chases the light and wonders if its worth chasing it anymore. He has low self estem and trys to bring it back up and asks god himself to start over to undo the mistakes of his social life. He probally stays home and wonders all the time about the light. I can really relate to this fucking song. Im socially a loser. But who the fuck cares. Do you care??? No! I liked this girl, and I told her how I felt. I mean I really told her how I felt! She never told me I was a loser or anything, but she really never told me anything. I felt like shit. I tried to chase her like he is chasing the light in the song. But sometimes its not worth it. I think of suicide as a way out. But I would never do that. I dont recomend suicide to anyone. Life is so beatiful. You will get downfalls in life. But you got to pick them up. I hate to see people commit suicide over girls and shit. Fuck them, is that bitch really worth your life!!! HELL NO!!!! There is a sea of bitches! Your mind loves to trick you into bad shit! But you got to be stronger than the mind itself. If you every need someone to talk to. Email me! I will listen and help you guys out! Cause I care! | |
