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
fav song ever
woah. the lyrics seem like a praise song. i wonder if it was written to a person or to God. interesting.
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)
There can't be any truth where there's no honesty!
I agree with Doyle.
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"
i think it's about his father, dunno
i think it's a kickass song and i love it
I'm not sure about Trent's point, i think that part means that we're all human and no one deserves treatment like he received. Which backs up Doyle's point.
ifu look at the cd cover case there is an in memory of tom casey i think that could be ken caseys grandfather so this song i think is an ode to tom casey
Personally, I think it's about a man who led a hard life until he met someone who, in the short time they were together, changed it for the better.
it sounds like it has something to do with an addiction
i think Kool is right, sounds like a song about someones father
Это очень искренняя песня, в ней слышится подлинная благодарность человека, которому вернули веру в себя. Я очень люблю эту песню.
This is a very sincere song, it can be heard a genuine thanks to person who returned the self-confidence. I love this song.
doyles probs right, old lover but its not just another sad song about being left, its more than a whiny 'you left me song'
The song is about himself...
It's about his child. More likely a son, because not many daughters follow their fathers footsteps. (Thought you'd stay off my path, but i couldn't see that the blood in your veins is the same that runs through me.)
My interpretation is that it's about fathers and sons and how the cycle repeats. 1st verse is about his father. 2nd verse is about his son. In both cases the strained relationships came around and faith was restored. This is an awesome song.
great song full of power
I'm certain this is a song about a younger brother/sibling, at least that's how it appears to me.
I think its about family
