Terms of Surrender
Terms of Surrender: Love's Resilience in the Face of Adversity
Lyrics
These are my terms
Expressing personal conditions or terms
Terms of surrender
Conditions for yielding or giving up
It's one thing to bend it, my love
It's easier to compromise or yield, but breaking something is more severe
But another to break it
Breaking something is more impactful and serious
I was out drumming
Engaged in an activity energetically
The heels of the summer
During the peak of summer
Playing the numbers was I
Engaging in games of chance or probability
Fooling with thunder
Playing with risky or dangerous situations
I'm gonna take it
Accepting something difficult and enduring it
On the chin and save it
Taking a hit or impact and preserving it
It's one thing to bend it, my love
Similar to line 3: easier to compromise or yield than to break
But another to break it
Highlighting the gravity of breaking something
I'm gonna give it
To offer something willingly
But don't make me say it
Asking not to be forced to express something unpleasant or difficult
It's one thing to bend it, my love
Reiterating the difference between compromising and breaking
And another to break it
Emphasizing the severity of breaking something
I saw the fires
Observing widespread destruction or chaos
Ten thousand burning
Visualizing numerous fires burning
All this water behind me, my love
Having resources or solutions but no way to utilize them
No boat for the turning
No means to change or shift the current situation
