Surrender Lyrics

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Laying on your holy bed by the hallowed door
Feeling like an infidel not worthy of your floor
Tempted by your innocence, beckoned to my fate
I will face the consequence, I wouldn't hesitate

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins
Passion flaming in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Shackled like an animal, chained to my desires
Just another sacrifice to love's eternal pyres
Tame me with your tenderness and break my brittle heart
Easily and elegantly tear my world apart

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins
Passion flaming in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

[Bridge: Dave Gahan]
We're living in a world full of illusion
Everything is so unreal
My mind is in a state of confusion
But I can't deny the way I feel

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins
Passion flaming in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins
Passion flaming in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

[Outro: Martin L. Gore]
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins, yeah
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins, yeah

Genius Annotation

Martin Gore told Allstar magazine in 1998:

“‘Surrender’ is quite slow. It’s very melodic. It’s a good song to sing. It’s about surrendering to your desires — maybe you don’t really have a choice. It is an extension of Ultra.”
The song explores themes of desire, temptation, and the complex emotions that arise from them.
