Surprise
Kevin Krauter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes it don't feel like pleasure at all
Face in the air like I'm trying to fool you
What a surprise, I'm just fooling myself
Glued to my phone, I'm just trying to hear you
Sweat on the glass burning holes in my hand
I don't wanna believe in a new communion
'Til I go and find out, it's so easy
Turn and walk away from all the sadness
Even if it feels too hard to handle
I know it's just a reason to let it fly
Bending my will but the effort is wasted
Hung up and dry, just a tool in the shed
Springing the trap 'cause it's testing my patience
What a surprise, it was all in my head
Going to Hell, guess they killed me with kindness
Drank all my time, now I'm eating the chance
Is a moment of truth such an inconvenience?
Peel off the rind, bite the fruit in my hands
'Til I go and find out, it's so easy
Turn and walk away from all the sadness
Even if it feels too hard to handle
I know it's just a reason to let it fly
In the lyrics of Kevin Krauter's song Surprise, the singer grapples with feelings of guilt and pleasure, and the struggle to reconcile those emotions. The opening lines, "Sometimes I feel like a guilty pleasure / Sometimes it don't feel like pleasure at all", suggest an inner conflict, as the singer acknowledges their desire for something but questions whether it is truly enjoyable. This tension is highlighted later in the verse when the singer admits to "fooling" themselves, implying that their pursuit of pleasure may be misguided or even harmful.
The second verse shifts the focus to the singer's phone and their efforts to connect with someone. The line "Sweat on the glass burning holes in my hand" suggests a sense of urgency or desperation in their attempt to communicate. The mention of a "new communion" and references to wine and blood create a religious undertone, perhaps suggesting the singer's search for meaning or connection in an increasingly fragmented world.
Throughout the song, the singer vacillates between a desire to escape or avoid difficult emotions and a recognition that facing them head-on may be necessary for growth or acceptance. The repeated refrain of "It's so easy / Turn and walk away from all the sadness / Even if it feels too hard to handle / I know it's just a reason to let it fly" captures this tension, suggesting that while avoiding pain or discomfort may seem like the easy choice, ultimately confronting it may be the only way to move forward.
