Formerly known as A Second Chance, the group had to change their name because of a conflict with a band from La Puente, California , known as Second Chance. They are often commented on their sharing of lead vocals. Most recently ex-guitarist Andrew Meunier rejoined the band moving his replacement Alex Haycraft (formerly of Park) to the role of bassist. However, on July 23rd, 2008 the band issued a statement on their Myspace blog that informed fans that both Andrew (Andy) and Alex left the band. Here is the statement...

"Hey guys,

We just read ourselves that Andy and Alex left the band, they did in fact leave but this happened a couple months ago. We've been touring for months without them, everything is fine and Just Surrender is in no way breaking up. We're actually about to announce our tour dates for September / October as well as a UK tour for November. We're currently auditioning new members. Come check us out on Warped tour this weekend!

In Your Silence
Just Surrender Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me dear
How can I make this more clear
When I say this is forever
And how is that so wrong
Is it too much to ask to not be alone

So what did I do wrong
I'll take it back and start over again

Well I fall asleep with you
And I wake up alone, and unwanted
In your silence
And I wish I could destroy you
But instead I'll just adore you
And know that you were silent

I'll cross my fingers tight
And sleep to dream of you
Cause when I wake
I know I'll be alone
But its worth it for you...for you

Well I fall asleep with you
And I wake up alone, and unwanted
In your silence
And I wish I could destroy you
But instead I'll just adore you
And know that you were silent

I'd sleep through any dream for you
I'd wake though anything...
Your everything to me

Well I fall asleep with you
And I wake up alone, and unwanted
In your silence
And I wish I could destroy you
But instead I'll just adore you
In your silence

Well I'm still waiting...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Just Surrender's song In Your Silence seem to describe a relationship where one person is deeply in love with the other, who is emotionally distant and unresponsive. The singer expresses their frustration with the situation, questioning why it's so difficult for the other person to reciprocate their feelings and simply be there for them. The repeated line "Well I fall asleep with you, And I wake up alone, and unwanted, In your silence" emphasizes the feeling of isolation and abandonment that comes from being with someone who is physically present but emotionally absent.

Despite this, the singer seems to be willing to endure the pain of unrequited love, hoping that someday the other person will come around and love them back. The lines "And I wish I could destroy you, But instead I'll just adore you" capture the conflicting feelings of anger and devotion that come with loving someone who doesn't love you back. The final lines, "Well I'm still waiting..." suggest that the singer is holding on to hope, despite the odds stacked against them.

Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing and frustration that will likely be relatable to anyone who's been in an unrequited love situation. It captures the intense emotion and the messy complexity of trying to navigate feelings that aren't returned.

Line by Line Meaning

Tell me dear
Asking for clarification on a matter

How can I make this more clear
Requesting a clearer explanation

When I say this is forever
Expressing a commitment for eternity

And how is that so wrong
Questioning the validity of criticism or objections raised

Is it too much to ask to not be alone
Inquiry about the possibility of companionship

So what did I do wrong
Seeking explanation for a perceived misstep

I'll take it back and start over again
Willingness to retract previous actions to fix the issue

Well I fall asleep with you
Sharing intimacy with someone

And I wake up alone, and unwanted
Feeling abandoned by the person who was just slept with

In your silence
Feeling ignored or rejected by the other person's lack of response

And I wish I could destroy you
Expressing anger towards the other person

But instead I'll just adore you
Choosing to still hold affection for the other person despite feeling hurt

And know that you were silent
Acknowledging the other person's lack of response

I'll cross my fingers tight
Hoping for a desirable outcome

And sleep to dream of you
Focusing on the other person while asleep

Cause when I wake
Anticipating a negative feeling upon awakening

I know I'll be alone
Expecting to be by oneself

But its worth it for you...for you
Deciding that the other person is worth the loneliness

I'd sleep through any dream for you
Saying that they would do anything for the other person

I'd wake though anything...
Reiterating willingness to endure hardship for the other person

Your everything to me
Declaring the person as their all

In your silence
Restating the feeling of being ignored or rejected by the other person's lack of response

Well, I'm still waiting...
Ending with a sense of longing, still waiting for the other person
