Surrender
Mr.Sam feat. Rani Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say that I can trust you
I don't know
But every time I'm near you
I lose control

I must be out of my mind
To let you in
Maybe I should try to find

My strength within

It's only a matter of time
And I will surrender
Just give me a little more time
To open my mind
It's only a matter of time
And I will surrender
Surrender to you...

Fears, I leave them far behind
To resist you, I don't know how
Love, sometimes can be unkind
Should I lay my heart on the line now

And when temptation comes along
I can't hide it, I can't fight it
Feelings inside are getting strong
Cannot deny it, you've got it

It's only a matter of time
And I will surrender
Just give me a little more time
To open my mind
It's only a matter of time

And I will surrender
Surrender to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mr.Sam feat. Rani's song "Surrender" touch upon the theme of love and trust. The song begins with Rani stating her hesitation to trust the person she is singing to, however, every time she is near him, she loses control, indicating a strong attraction. She questions her own sanity for being vulnerable to him and wonders if she should look for strength within herself instead.

The second verse depicts the internal battle that Rani is going through. She wants to resist the person's charm but fears that love can be cruel, unsure if she should take the risk of laying her heart on the line. However, when faced with temptation, she cannot resist the strong feelings inside her and admits that the person has her heart.

The chorus of the song talks about the inevitability of surrendering to this all-consuming love. Rani believes it's just a matter of time that she will give in and open up her mind to the person. She surrenders to him in the end, indicating that she has accepted her feelings for him.

The use of the word "surrender" throughout the song can be interpreted in two ways - either as a metaphor for the act of falling in love or surrendering to someone else's will.

Line by Line Meaning

You say that I can trust you
You claim to be trustworthy and reliable

I don't know
But I am not entirely convinced or sure

But every time I'm near you
Yet when I am in your proximity

I lose control
I become powerless to your influence

I must be out of my mind
I am questioning my own sanity

To let you in
For allowing you to be a part of my life

Maybe I should try to find
Perhaps I need to search for

My strength within
My inner resolve and fortitude

It's only a matter of time
It is inevitable that

And I will surrender
I will eventually give in to you

Just give me a little more time
I only need a bit more patience

To open my mind
To become more accepting and understanding

Fears, I leave them far behind
I am attempting to discard my anxieties

To resist you, I don't know how
I am unsure of how to combat your allure

Love, sometimes can be unkind
The concept of love can occasionally be difficult and hurtful

Should I lay my heart on the line now
Is it wise for me to make myself vulnerable to you at this moment in time?

And when temptation comes along
When seduction or enticement arises

I can't hide it, I can't fight it
I cannot conceal nor resist the allure

Feelings inside are getting strong
My emotions are becoming more intense

Cannot deny it, you've got it
I cannot ignore nor deny your influence over me

Surrender to you...
I am submitting to your authority and power
