The Surrender Lyrics

Don't label me a monster
I'm a monster just like you
Don't label me a monster
I'm a victim just like you

And when your heart aches
You know that mine aches too
And when you run away
I run away like you
I do

You know there's a part of me
That will always let you down
You know there's a part of me
That will always make you cry
You know there's a part of me
That just won't let you die
Inside, I surrender

I surrender into you
I do
Keep surrendering to you
I do, I do
I surrender before you
For this...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's about a fucked up relationship... she thinks she's the "victim", and the he's a "monster"... but actually both of them are fucked up and suffering: "And when your heart aches You know that mine aches too"

"I surrender into you" means he's too tired to do something about it, probably tired of being the one who tries to solve the problems... so he "surrenders" and gives her the opportunity to take him as he is or just leave, the opportunity to make the decision herself.

been there myself...

a great song...

The song is about surrending to all the bullshit and criticism that the world has thrown at him. This album has sold over 1,000 000 copies worldwide which means that there are plenty of ppl who love limp and fred, and in the end im sure he will die happy, while all the haters are poor, with no success, working jobs they hate, thinking that they know about music even though they dont even have a band or a cd.
