What is the meaning of the Billy Talent song Surrender?!
Question: This is on Billy Talent's purevolume space about the song, written by Ben.
"Valentine's day for the most part sucks...I've hated it for the longest time because it either reminds me of someone I once had or someone that I'll never be allowed to have...which got me thinking ...love comes in so many different forms on so many different levels...Unrequited love is one of those forms/predicaments I've been in and it ******* sucked...Loving someone SO much but due to circumstance and timing I wasn't able to ever tell her exactly how I felt...I watched as other men came and went from her life and every time I just wanted to grab her and say "it's me stupid!!! I'm the one" anyway...the record is finished being recorded and we can't tell you how excited we are to share it with everyone...it is by far the best piece of work that we have ever done together...we experimented with new sounds and new emotions one being love and its many incarnations...This song Surrender was written about this one circumstance I was in with a friend...it is a REAL love song...believe or not...slow and romantic and it is a little different than most Billy Talent you've heard before...like our last record...we tried very hard to make it a complete piece with every song complementing the next but each one being different and unique in its own way...this song will be slightly different when it gets on the record and is a work in progress...so to speak...but we figured that because Valentine's Day is considered a holiday and we love our fans more than any band because we sincerely care about you and all your well beings...this is a gift from us to you...take care"
On Intimate and Interactive; Billy Talent, Ben said this song was about Unrequited Love.
And for all of you who don't know what 'unrequited love' is, it's basically love for someone who's like your best friend, and you don't speak up for your actions because you're scared of jeprodizing your friendship.
Hope This Helps xx
