In late 2010 Digital Daggers had the single of the week, "No Easy Way," which gained over 150,000 downloads to promote the release of the debut digital EP Human Emotion. The title track of the EP was used by Ferrero Raffaello for a TV commercial in 2011. Their debut full-length album Close Your Eyes was released on 11 June 2013 by Los Angeles-based indie label El Camino Media. The song "The Devil Within" is currently being featured in trailers for the NBC series The Blacklist, Nikita, and Pretty Little Liars. In February 2014, they released "Aquarius" from the album 'Reimaginations: Volume One', which was used in the first episode of the CW show "Starcrossed".
Digital Daggers released their 2nd and final full-length album Mixed Emotions in 2014. The band had broken up before its release and have since had songs from the album featured in the TV Series How To Get Away With Murder. The song "Back To The Start" is featured on the upcoming Official Soundtrack album for How To Get Away With Murder released on Hollywood Records March 2016. Orange is the New Black featured "Save Us From Ourselves" in Season 7, Episode 4: "How to Do Life." The song begins as Maria recites from a pamphlet "Take what you want and leave the rest."
On 9 November 2017, Digital Daggers announced their return to the stage by presenting their newest song, "Devil's Choir". Space has been heavily active in the film and TV sync world as an artist, producer and performer, especially with his band Digital Daggers.
Surrender
Digital Daggers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying hard to keep it
Safely out of reach
Creeping, I can feel it breathing
Calling to the surface
Finally in my dreams
Sweet despair feel you devour me
Home
Taken down I give into what I can't disguise
I surrender, I surrender
Broken down, I give into what I can not have
I surrender, I surrender
Locked in, buried under my skin
Riding on the whispers, restless in the wind
Hunted, I can feel it coming
Keep me under cover in what could of been
Sweet despair feel you devour me
Silently, oh won't you carry me
Home
Taken down I give into what I can't disguise
I surrender, I surrender
Broken down, I give into what I can not have
I surrender, I surrender
Don't make a sound now
Don't make a sound now
Maybe it won't find us after all
Carry, me, home
Taken down I give into what I can't disguise
I surrender, I surrender
Broken down, I give into what I can not have
I surrender, I surrender
Don't make a sound now
Don't make a sound now
I surrender, I surrender
Don't make a sound now
Don't make a sound now
I surrender, I surrender
Broken down I give in, I give in
I surrender, I surrender
Digital Daggers’ song “Surrender” harbors a secret that is hidden underneath the surface. The singer is trying hard to keep this secret and safely out of reach, but it creeps up on her and she can feel it breathing. The secret is calling to the surface, finally revealing itself in her dreams. The sweet despair that feels like it is devouring her is asking her to surrender to it.
The singer feels locked in and buried under her skin, unable to escape the whispers that are riding on the wind. She’s hunted by this secret and is doing everything she can to keep it under cover in what could have been. But she gives in and surrenders to what she can’t disguise and what she can’t have, breaking down in the process.
The song is about giving up control and submitting to something greater that is pulling the singer towards it, even though she knows it may not be good for her. It is a call for help to a higher power, asking it to carry her home. The repeated phrase “Don’t make a sound now” could be interpreted as trying to hide from the secret or from what’s chasing her.
