It was very different. Ritual sacrifice was nexttlahualli - the repayment of debt. They believed that they were kickstarting the sun, returning favor that had been done for them. It was the soul that they were after, which they believed resided in the heart. With the notable exception of the events of mesoamerican collapse, it was an honor that people would volunteer for and a burden that aztec society bore on the shoulders of it's own population. This is what it meant for them to be the people of the sun.
