Surrender
Peter Kater Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And this fire is burning still
When I watch you look at me
I think I could find the will
To stand for every dream
And forsake this solid ground
And give up this fear within
Of what would happen if they ever knew
'Cause I'd surrender everything
To feel the chance to live again
I reach to you
I know you can feel it too
We'd make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
I'd make you give them all to me
I'd hold you in my arms and never let go
I surrender
I know I can't survive
Another night away from you
You're the reason I go on
And now I need to live the truth
Right now, there's no better time
From this fear I will break free
And I'll live again with love
And no they can't take that away from me
And they will see
'Cause I'd surrender everything
To feel the chance to live again
I reach to you
I know you can feel it too
We'd make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
I'd make you give them all to me
I'd hold you in my arms and never let go
I surrender
Every night's getting longer
And this fire is getting stronger, baby
I'll swallow my pride and I'll be alive
Can't you hear my call
I surrender all
'Cause I'd surrender everything
To feel the chance to live again
I reach to you
I know you can feel it too
We'd make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
I'd make you give them all to me
I'd hold you in my arms and never let go
I surrender
Right here, right now
I give my life to live again
I'll break free, take me
My everything, I surrender all to you
Right now
I give my life to live again
I'll break free, take me
My everything, I surrender all to you
The lyrics of "Surrender" by Peter Kater tell a story of someone who has been through a lot in their life and is ready to start living again. The first verse talks about the fire that is still burning inside and how the person feels they could find the will to stand up for their dreams if only they had someone to share them with. The chorus is an expression of that desire to give up everything to feel alive again and to have someone by their side to make them believe that anything is possible.
The second verse speaks more specifically about the reason behind this newfound energy and hope. It's clear that the person has been away from the one they love and that separation has been difficult. But now they are ready to break free from that fear and live again with love. The final verse is a call to action, a declaration that they are ready to surrender everything to have the chance to live their dreams and feel alive again.
The whole song is about finding hope and the courage to live in the face of adversity. It's about finding the strength to surrender to what you truly want and need in life, even if it means risking everything. The hope is that by letting go of everything else, we can find the one thing that truly matters: love.
