Surrender Lyrics

Artist: Dropkick Murphys
Album: The Meanest Of Times

I was at my weakest state
And you kept pushing me on
You gave me something to believe in
And it keeps me standing strong
These lessons that I've learned
These things I'll carry on
And when you're gone I'll honor you
Each day, however long

This glimmer of hope was never enough
To guide me through the darkness like a diamond
In the rough
I held out for and I received
A pain that never left with no reprieve
Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
There can't be any truth where there's no honesty

Like an apple from the tree
you were lock jawed in your ways
A reminder of myself in those long forgotten days
Thought you'd stayed off my path
But I just couldn't see that the blood that's in your veins
Is the same that runs through me

This glimmer of hope was never enough
To guide me through the darkness like a diamond
In the rough
I held out for and I received
A pain that never left with no reprieve
Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
There can't be any truth where there's no honesty

I had it all but lost my faith
And then you lead me to it
Today I'll carry on
I had it all but lost my faith
And now I've renewed it
These things I'll carry on

Comments/Interpretations
by Bango on 5/25/2008 3:55pm fav song ever
by Dave-o on 9/27/2008 5:36pm woah. the lyrics seem like a praise song. i wonder if it was written to a person or to God. interesting.
by Bjorn on 10/15/2008 3:48pm More likely, this is written to a family member ("like an apple from the tree") than to God. ("When you're gone I'll honor you)
by Devastated. on 3/3/2009 10:26am There can't be any truth where there's no honesty!
by Doyle on 6/30/2009 9:42pm I disagree, I think it is about an old lover who hurt him very deeply
by JP on 7/28/2009 1:05pm I agree with Doyle.
by Trent on 8/4/2009 2:50pm I think its about a family member because of his phrase "I just couldn't see that the blood in your veins is the same that runs through me"
by Kool on 8/23/2009 8:18am i think it's about his father, dunno
by dank muffins on 11/2/2009 12:10am i think it's a kickass song and i love it
