Notes
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'."
When asked in 2005 about their most underrated song, Martin Gore said:
"There's one I particularly like that got lost because it was just an extra track on [the 'Only When I Lose Myself'] single, called 'Surrender'."
Tim Simenon reveals during his Depeche Mode Facebook Takeover that a working title for this track was 'Tempt'.
Lyrics
Surrender
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 won't face the consequence
I wouldn't hesitate
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture
Rushing through my veins
Passion
Flaming
In my heart
Heavenly surrender once again
Yeah
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
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture
Rushing through my veins
Passion
Flaming
In my heart
Heavenly surrender once again
Yeah
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
I'm a man of flesh and bone
Rapture rushing through my veins
Yeah
