The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Surrender" by the artist "Walk The Moon"

Contents

In Walk The Moon's song "Surrender," the narrator grapples with conflicting emotions towards a former lover. He acknowledges lingering feelings ("I still believe") but recognizes the relationship is toxic and has no future ("But I can't stay").

He attempts to distance himself ("I'm trying to keep my distance"), seeking solace in fleeting connections that leave him feeling empty and unfulfilled ("Throwing my emotions to the wind"). He recognizes the destructiveness of this pattern ("The patterns and the maps that I made have got me so confused") and feels lost without the object of his affection ("And I'm falling off the deep end").

The chorus "So I surrender" embodies the internal struggle: the desire to give in to his feelings versus the understanding that he needs to move on. The line "Take me out, and let me in" captures the duality – yearning for closeness while fearing the pain.

Ultimately, although still clinging to the past ("Take me back a thousand days"), the narrator expresses a desire to become "the best ex you ever had," acknowledging the inevitability of the breakup. The repetition of "I still believe" coupled with "So I surrender" highlights the complexity of the situation, where hope for reconciliation battles against a clear-eyed view of reality.

[Verse 1:]

Another night in my new skin,

Throw emotion to the wind

And just try to find a face that'll make me feel something.

And for all the pretty mouths and pretty words that turned me out

I just end up at your house,

20,000 leagues beneath the ocean.

Oh-oh,

I've been trying to keep my distance, I still believe, I still believe,

So hard to keep my distance, I still believe, I still believe,

And you make me want to stay 'cause you look so good,

But I know you, babe, and this can't wait.

[Pre-Chorus:]

Not one more touch,

One more drink,

One more minute,

One more night.

[Chorus:]

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,

So I surrender,

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,

This is the moment I surrender,

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh!

[Verse 2:]

Now all the shapes I know are gone,

Charts and maps I've drawn just get me lost,

And I'm falling off the edge,

And you make me want to change with the look on your face

'Cause I miss you, babe,

But I can't stay.

[Pre-Chorus:]

Not one more kiss,

Not one more fix,

Not one more minute,

One more night.

[Chorus:]

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,

So I surrender,

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,

This is the moment I surrender.

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,

Lead it out, let it in,

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,

Oh no, I surrender, I still believe, I can't stay.

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,

I still will be here, I still will stay,

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,

I'm still trying to keep my distance, hold on,

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,

Keep my distance [?],

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,

When I speak will you listen?

[Bridge:]

So send me back a thousand days,

That first night at your old place,

And tell me how it ends,

I'd do it all again

For one more minute, one more night.

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, mmm!

If all that I could ever be,

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,

If all that I could ever be,

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,

Was the best ex-lover of your life.

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh!

If all that I could ever be,

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,

If all that I could ever be,

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,

Was the best ex-lover of your life.

[Chrous:]

I still believe, I still believe,

So I surrender,

I still believe, I still believe,

This is the moment I surrender.

I still believe, I still believe,

Lead it out, let it in,

I still believe, I still believe,

Oh no, I surrender!

I still believe, I can't stay, yeah!

I still will be here, I still will stay,

This is the moment I surrender,

Second time, [?] again,

I still believe, I still believe.

[Outro:]

And all that I could ever be,

I still believe, I still believe, I still believe, I still believe,

And all that I could ever be,

I still believe, I still believe, ooh-ooh-ooh,

Was the best ex-lover of your life,

I still believe, I still believe.

Keep my distance,

So hard to keep my distance,

I'm still trying to keep my distance.
