I Surrender All
Isaacs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the wilderness and I am the rain
I am the wellspring of unending power and strength
Is that all I am to you?
Is that all I am to you?
I am a miracle and I am a curse
I'll raise the floodplains and I'll shatter all the earth
Is that all I am to you?
Is that all I am to you?
I could open up the mysteries of the universe
Can you deal with it?
The boy will get exactly what the boy deserves
Can the boy get real with it?
I am the thunderbolt and I am the sky
I am the reason that you wake and wonder why
Is that all I am to you?
Is that all I am to you?




Is that all I am to you?
Is that all I am to you?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Isaac's song "I Surrender All" seem to be a reflection of a feeling of isolation and almost defiance by the singer. The singer seems to be presenting themselves as a force of nature, both good and bad, in a way that suggests that they are not fully appreciated or understood. The repeated question of whether they are only seen as this powerful natural force adds to this feeling, almost as if the singer is saying "Is that all you see me as?"


Furthermore, the lyrics mention the ability to "open up the mysteries of the universe" and to "raise the floodplains and shatter all the earth". This language further suggests a great power within the singer, but also a sense of loneliness and isolation due to their lack of true connection with others. The final line, "Is that all I am to you?" repeated twice, solidifies this tone of longing for a deeper understanding and appreciation.


Overall, the lyrics to "I Surrender All" seem to be a complex portrayal of a powerful being feeling isolated and unappreciated, yet still holding onto a sense of their own worth and power. It is a song that can resonate with anyone who has ever felt misunderstood or undervalued, despite their significant talents and abilities.
