Surrender

[Thomas]

It was one of my fav for years. It's been a while since the last time I heard all those pre-Fallen songs.

I was thinking about download them all again and put them on my iPod...

[AeternusAmatorius]

The thing that I do not understand, is why is this song is in the 2001-2002 Demos category. It sounds more like the Origin version of Whisper with all the atmospheric backing "Ooo" PLUS it has David as a banking vocal in the second verse I think and what are the other 2001-2002 demo songs that have David in them? Uh, NONE! Besides Before the Dawn but that is also very atmospheric and sounds similar the the Origin version of Whisper as well. I'm actually assuming that those two songs were written in the same era as Origin, but they weren't considered for Origin so therefore, they wouldn't be part of the Origin album and wouldn't be considered for the album outtakes. So then, how did they get leaked with the 2001-2002 Demos if they were in the era before 2001-2002? Hmm, that's the question. Or maybe they were done in 2001-2002 but still in that Origin era phase; understand? lol.

I also think this:
You will surrender to me
There's no escaping from me
I know you want her to be
You must surrender to me

Is this:
You will surrender to me
There's no escaping from me
My love will hold you to me
You must surrender to me

OR
My love will want her to be

OR
My love, will her to me

OR
My love will wander to me

OR
I know you wander to me

OR
I know you'll order to me

But there's that one syllable that is just awkward and inaudible! ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[FallenEvArmy]

Not sure where I got it from (EvThreads or EvRef possibly) but I read that that line ^ is:

"My love will hold you to me."

Always I've thought this song is the REAL Faixa Five

[CatarinaE]

I was so obsessed with this song a few years ago. It's quite different from the other songs.

It would be amazing if they re-do this song or play it live, one of my favorite Ev songs ever

[harridan]

This one just sounded sooo good in the darkness of the computer club where I spent half of my teenage years. I don't care where or when it was recorded, I love how different it sounds from most of the other pre-Fallen songs.

I never really paid much attention to this song, but it just came on shuffle on my iPod and it's fricking amazing!

[togetheragain]

This song really is awesome! I would love for them to perform it live someday.

This is the only Ev song I can't get into:/

Lyrics:

0:00 - 0:25

Is this real enough for you?
You were so confused
Now that you've decided to stay
We'll remain together

You can't abandon me
You belong to me

Breathe in and take my life in you
No longer myself only you
There's no escaping me my love
Surrender

1:13 - 1:23

Darling there's no sense in running
You know I will find you
Everything is perfect now
We can live forever

You can't abandon me
You belong to me

Breathe in and take my life in you
No longer myself only you
There's no escaping me my love
Surrender

Hands up slowly
Give into . . .

2:31 - 2:34

Breathe in and take my life in you
No longer myself only you
There's no escaping me my love
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender

You will surrender to me
There's no escaping from me
My love will hold you to me
You must surrender

Some Things To Think About/Debate Over

-What do we even know about this song? Seemingly nothing! There aren't really any EvDebates about this song either - I mean there is the "who does that deep breathing after the 'hands up give into' part" but, I mean that's not really important (people seem to think it is Amy though, FYI).

-The end seemed to confuse some people; particularily, people were confused with what is said after "there's no escaping from me" whispers, but due to DoubleA's research on LeosLyrics.com + analyzing the data, this was what came about from that data (posted above). The video on FallenEvArmy also agrees with these lyrics. EvReference doesn't seem to agree, however:

"You will surrender to me
There's no escaping from me
I know you want her to be
You must surrender to me"

SOURCE

-Surrender is one of the eight songs NOT listed on the BMI Website under Evanescence.

THANKS to DoubleA for the lyrics and the videos are from FallenEvArmy!

I just had a thought.

The bootlegs are the only sources for this song's name, right? If so, then we don't know the title of this song for sure, because we know the bootlegs have been wrong before.

One of the few songs I don't like by EV

Just can't get into it

[Deleted]

Not a fan either... Why was Amy such a psycho stalker clingy bitch back then? Hehehe... I'm kidding, but I find this song's lyrics hilarious. This is sooooo the kind of stuff I wrote before anything remotely interesting had happened in my life. I actually like the atmosphere and some of the vocal melodies though...

I'm not sure, maybe DarkFlare89 can bring more light to this, but when the demos were leaked, they were leaked with titles. Which is one of the reasons why some call the demos of Tourniquet, My Tourniquet. So if this is correct, then that is where we found the title to this song. Though it may not have been named and the person who leaked the material named it with a name they felt fitting. Said leaker also most likely named AOTS and Demise, as they sound like their style of title.
