Surrender
Embrace the Night: State Street's Surrender to Urban Escape
Lyrics
Wasted nights
Expressing time spent in a way that didn't yield positive outcomes.
On your own
Being alone during those unproductive nights.
Neon lights
Referencing vibrant and attention-grabbing urban lights.
Can't feel the vertigo
Feeling disconnected or unaffected by the excitement.
One more lie
Another instance of deception or falsehood.
Talk me down
Request to be talked out of a situation or emotion.
Don’t ask why
Advising against questioning or probing for reasons.
Run to the city now
Escaping to the city, possibly seeking solace or distraction.
Don't cry, it's not forever
Consoling someone, assuring that the pain is temporary.
Don't fight, you can surrender
Encouraging surrender as an alternative to resistance.
Don't cry, it's not forever
Reiteration of the temporary nature of the situation.
Don't fight, you can surrender
Repeating the advice to surrender instead of fighting.
Stay awake
Instructing to stay alert or conscious.
Won’t make a sound
Emphasizing silence or discretion in actions.
Tried to wait
Attempting patience but eventually running to the city.
But I Run to the city now
Repeating the act of escaping to the city.
Don't cry, it's not forever
Reassurance that the emotional pain is not permanent.
Don't fight, you can surrender
Encouragement to yield or give in rather than resist.
Don't cry, it's not forever
Reiteration of the transient nature of the emotional state.
Don't fight, you can surrender
Stressing the option to surrender rather than fight.
Don't cry, it's not forever
Continued emphasis on the temporary aspect of the situation.
Don't fight, you can surrender
Encouraging surrender instead of engaging in a struggle.
Don't cry, it's not forever
Reiterating that the emotional distress is not permanent.
Don't fight, you can surrender
