Lyrics:
Doesn't mean much
Doesn't mean anything at all
The life I've left behind
Is a cold room

I've crossed the last line
From where I can't return
Where every step I took in faith
Betrayed me
And led me from my home

Sweet Surrender
Is all that I have to give

Take me in
No questions asked
You strip away the ugliness
That surrounds me
Are you an Angel?
Am I already that gone?

I only hope
That I won't disappoint you
Well, I'm down here on my knees

And
Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give

Sweet Surrender
Is all that I have to give

And I don't understand how
By the touch of your hand,
I would be the one to fall

I miss the little things
I miss everything
About you

Doesn't mean much
Doesn't mean anything at all
The life I've left behind
Is a cold room

Sweet Surrender
Is all that I have to give

Sweet Surrender
Is all that I have to give

Angels - are - everywhere

[Duncan Craig]

this song changed my life, and I am no mystical hippie...it hits at the core.

[The0zk0]

I think this song is about letting somone into your pants and orgasm so different from what you thought was an orgasm that you kinda feel dirty and clean at the same time but thats just me. That is the beauty of art, it is open for interpretation

[Darlene Pulanco]

luv y0w.,.

[MrStuckinthenineties]

its about finding someone who can love you for all you are, especially the ugliness you may think you have. you feel that you dont deserve love.. then that person changes your mind.<3

[magnoliafreak6]

Am I totally misinterpreting the song, or are the lyrics from the pov of a person reflecting on life before finding a faith of some kind, possibly in a cult? (I bring up cults, because she says that the further she delved into her faith the more it took her away from her home, betraying her in the process) and realizing how being so blindly susceptible caused her to lose some of herself?

[sabfleet1985]

Must have been listening to Creed before making this. :)

[CupcakeBess]

Thank you. I just used this on my Facebook page, Spoiled Child, in tribute to my late mother. xo
