Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or when you may...
(I'll fall for you) I'll fall for you
Time is a good mise
Of never knowing
About you (About you)
I surrender
I surrender
To you
(I surrender)
I surrender
I surrender
To you
Love isn't easy (Easy)
Easy to find (Easy)
I'll stay for you (Easy for you)
I'm trying hard, baby (Baby)
Too tired to fight (Baby)
For you (For you)
I surrender (Surrender)
I surrender (Surrender)
To you (Ooh)

I surrender
I surrender
To you
(Forever)
(Ooh)

My heart is in prison
The whole [?]
Come close to me

Suicide’s song, “Surrender”, is a melancholic yet dreamy song that speaks of the overwhelming power of love. The song seems to be about surrendering to the feeling of love, as the lyrics repeat the phrase “I surrender” throughout. The first verse mentions “when you take me” or “when you may,” indicating an eager willingness to fall in love with someone yet still feeling unsure of when or where it will happen. The lyrics then touch on the idea that time is a good measure of never really knowing anything about this person, but despite this uncertainty, the singer is willing to fall for them.
The second verse mentions the difficulty of finding love and the desire to stay committed. The use of the phrase “my heart is in prison” could imply a sense of feeling trapped or confined by their emotions, but the singer seems to welcome this imprisonment as they repeat that they surrender to the person they love.
Throughout the song, there is a strong sense of vulnerability and a willingness to open oneself up to the possibility of getting hurt, yet the singer is still willing to surrender to this feeling of love. The repetition of “I surrender” at the end of each verse and in the chorus emphasizes the power of love and its ability to make one feel powerless.
