Surrender
Savages Lyrics

In Savages's song "Surrender," the lyrics depict a desire for submission and a sense of vulnerability. The chorus, "Surrender, Surrender," suggests a willingness to give oneself up entirely to someone or something. The opening lines, "Walk on water, come and be my muse, I hope to get used," are a plea for someone to come and inspire the singer, even if it means being used by them. The following lines, "Horses of pleasure, ride them to the ether, never suffer," continue the theme of giving in to pleasure and escaping pain. The singer seems to want to experience something that transcends physical limitations and momentarily forget the stresses of existence.

The following lines, "Headlines in the press, the bridges are endless, weightlessness, vertigo, climax on the go, what we do and what we show," suggest that the desire to surrender may be connected to public perception or societal pressure. The idea of bridges being endless and weightlessness implies a sense of detachment from reality, and the mention of climax on the go hints at a fleeting desire for satisfaction. The repetition of "You wanna, You know her, You tell her, You love her" implies an ongoing conversation or inner monologue about the person or thing to which the singer wants to surrender, and the final "You wanna, You know her, You tell her, Surrender" suggests an ultimate decision to give in.
