| @[todd786859:37890] Good analysis! The song has 2 meanings, adult (parents) and teenagers. I think it means to surrender to life as it is... there's no going back. | |

@[eWe:37889] yeah, I don't think the entire song is about sex either. I think that last verse just reinforces that the parents are weird, but fun. That may be when the teenager realizes that mommy's alright and daddy's alright. It seems that the kid grew up with partying parents who are trying to tamp it down now that they're parents. So, I think the song is really about teenagers growing up, and their relationship with their parents. |

@[flomojo:37888] I really like your analysis of Surrender. It's a great song! I am of the opinion that music is art, and it can be interpreted differently by each person. I think this song's bigger message is of teenagers growing up; The specifics deal with their relationship with their parents, sex, drugs, rock n roll. The song is great because it goes back and forth from the parents to the teenager. The chorus seems to be both... "mommy's all right, daddy's all right" is the teenager talking to himself about his parents; "Surrender, but don't give yourself away" is the parents coming to grips with getting older. It can also be interpreted as more parental advice to their teenager. I (obviously) understand the sexual references throughout the song, but I think the song is more than that. The last verse is great! How would you react if you saw your parents having sex while listening to your Kiss records? Talk about mixed emotions! |
