I Surrender
Unveiling Love's Triumph: I Surrender by Michael Bolton
Lyrics
A million miles beyond the voice of reason
A state of being far removed from logical thinking or rationality.
It´s where I can be found
This place represents the singer's current state or emotional condition.
Got me walking with my head in the clouds
Feeling dreamy or disconnected from reality.
My feet don´t even touch the ground
Feeling so elated or in love that it feels like floating or being weightless.
I don´t know what you´ve done to me, baby,
The singer is unsure of the profound effect the person they're addressing has had on them.
But my resistance is gone
The singer's ability to resist the other person's influence has vanished.
I thought I was strong
Previously thought to be emotionally strong, the singer realizes their vulnerability now.
Baby, I was wrong
Admitting a previous misconception about their emotional strength.
'Cause you call my name and you turn me around
The other person has a profound effect on the singer, altering their direction and perspective.
As my arms reach out and the walls come down
Metaphorically, barriers the singer had are crumbling down in response to the other person.
I surrender
The singer acknowledges their surrender to the influence of the other person.
I´m a fool in a game, I got no way to win
Feeling helpless in a situation where winning is impossible due to emotional investment.
Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in
Letting go of control over emotions and feelings towards the other person.
I surrender, I surrender to you
Reiterating the surrender to the power or influence of the other person.
Heartache shatters loves´ innocence
Pain from previous experiences has destroyed the singer's innocence in love.
My trusting days are through
The singer's trust in love has been shattered and cannot be restored.
My resistance was my best defense
Resisting emotions used to protect the singer but now proved ineffective against the other person.
But I never counted on you
The unexpected impact of the other person on the singer's life.
You got the key to my destiny, babe,
The other person has control over the singer's fate or future.
I´m just a willing slave
The singer feels willingly controlled or influenced by the other person.
I can´t walk away, no, baby, I can´t walk away
The singer feels unable to break free from the influence of the other person.
You just call my name and you turn me around
Repeated influence of the other person causing the singer to change direction.
My arms reach out and the walls come down
Similar imagery of barriers breaking down due to the other person.
I surrender
Reaffirming the surrender to the other person's impact.
Like a fool in a game, I got no way to win
Continuing to feel powerless in a situation where winning is not an option.
Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in
Releasing control over emotions and giving in to feelings for the other person.
I surrender, I surrender
Reiterating the surrender to the influence of the other person.
Here I am trying to hold back the ocean
Metaphorically trying to control overwhelming emotions, which is futile.
Drowning in the sea of desire
Feeling overwhelmed and consumed by intense desires.
I´ve been betrayed by my own emotions
The singer's emotions have led them astray or betrayed their logical thinking.
You and my senses conspire
The other person and the singer's emotions are conspiring against their better judgment.
(You just call my name) call my name (and you turn me around)
Repetition of the surrender to the other person's influence.
I surrender! I´m a fool in a game, I got no way to win
A continuation of feeling helpless in a situation where victory is impossible.
Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in
Continuing to give up control and submit to emotions for the other person.
I surrender, I surrender to you
Reaffirming the surrender to the other person's impact.
I surrender, surrender, surrender to you
Reiteration of the surrender to the other person's influence.
A billion miles beyond the voice of reason
Reiteration of being far removed from logical thinking or rationality.
That´s where I can be found
Reiterating the singer's emotional state or condition.
