CHROM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I want you to do is nothing
All I want you to hear is nothing
All I want you to feel is nothing
She's my queen at night
She pulls my hands so tight
She's gonna let me in
You're telling me that you love me
But that's just a lie
Mesmerized by your cruelty
While you burn my eyes
Crucified on your body
I can feel your thorns
Bleeding out, it's so ugly
Surrender with no doubt
All I want you to see is nothing
All I want you to ask is nothing
All I want you to be is nothing
All that you mean to me is nothing
Nothing
She's my queen at night
She pulls my hands so tight
She's gonna let me in
She's gonna make me sin
She's gonna make me sin
You're telling me that you love me
But that's just a lie
Mesmerized by your cruelty
While you burn my eyes
Crucified on your body
I can feel your thorns
Bleeding out, it's so ugly
Surrender with no doubt
Telling me
Lies
Oh oh oh oh telling me
Lies
In Chrom's song Surrender, the lyrics explore the theme of submission and the conflict that arises from being both attracted and repulsed by the power dynamics at play in a relationship. The first verse expresses a desire for nothingness, which can be interpreted as either a longing for escapism or a sense of numbness. The second verse references a queen figure who exerts control over the singer's desires and actions, creating a tension between the singer's needs and their desire to submit to their partner's will. The chorus emphasizes the idea of surrender, but with a sense of resignation rather than liberation. The repetition of the phrase "you're telling me that you love me, but that's just a lie" highlights the deception and manipulation present in the relationship. The final verse ends with the singer calling out the lies and acknowledging the ugliness of the situation, yet still remaining trapped in the cycle of surrender.
Overall, the lyrics of Surrender emphasize the complexity and emotional turmoil that can arise in relationships where power and control are unevenly distributed.
