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
