Ball Park Music - Surrender Lyrics

Man that is some edgy makeup

"Surrender"

[Hook:]
It's okay, it's alright
It's true terror in the middle of the night
Give in if it makes you feel better
So surrender
So surrender

I'm a shotgun filled with paint, and I'm too big to operate
And I just throw my limbs around
I grow, grow from the ground

[Hook]

I've never been your number one
I'm a helicopter at an endless sun
I've got no guns, no sense of pride
I grow, grow from the ground

But lately I'm feeling down
And in my nice dream I could see your blouse
It was bright yellow and it made my day
I grow, grow from the ground

[Hook x2]

Such an underrated band

nice indie

great to know in a time of a lot of mainstream crap there are gems

I used to see Sam on the 345, he got on near aspley state school...fucking legend..

ItsMeMattyB who r u?

Brisbane mate.

yeh Brisbane....

greatest song i've ever heard.

Great song. Love Jen's hair but Homer - you left the automatic makeup gun on 'whore'!!

that chick is disgusting

Elaborate.

Lol sorry i meant it as a verb

ah, I've seen her in many other videos and i think shes a naturally beautiful girl. my opinion of course.

I assume she doesn't cake on make up in these other videos.

I'm so glad GoldenBlackHawk played this in his stream because now I love this song so much. :) <3

He has good taste in music :3

Yeah he does :)

I am officially like Inlove omg

Oh look, the worst kind of hipsters. Christ.

I give them a hipster pass for making cool musics

There whole look is Aussie 70's. not so much Hipster

I dont think enough ppl listen to these guy

i love black butler! <3 xD

This video is awesome. They have that sort of hip-hop swagger and it's absolutely fantastic. 

The beginning sounds exactly like someone mowing their lawn outside.

Jen, my son told me he wants you to be his step mum.

this suuucks

Well you suck bitch!!!

why the fuck are you watching and commenting then piss off hater 

if thats your shitty opinion thats fine.....

if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.. Did you mum not teach you that when you were like 4?

youre entitled to your wrong opinion :)

thats a really cool drum pattern :)

Kinda reminds me of Bombay Bicycle Club... Glad I found 'em

i didnt think so, shes just having fun with it! Most of the time the chicks in the videos Aren't trying to look like that and do, i think she was just being cheeky!

i like it

I fucking love them I think they're pretty.

Yes, usually I never understand songs until I listen to them a LOT and then it suddenly hits me. Maybe find their FaceBook like Charlie suggested.

Love the song and the video clip is cool. It's a shame the girl has such a horrific make-up job. It really spoils it.

The song is about realizing your problems, but taking them in and not ignoring them. And after realizing the fear and suffering that you go through or surrendering to them helps you grow as a person.

its weird that both the comment have 79 likes..

Yeah... It may well be, but the plant-growing scenes weren't due to any underlying message. I just thought that having Paul play snake-charmer to a bunch of sprouts would look awesome, and we ran with it.

Ball park music helped me give birth to three twins whilst riding a unicycle

I was also able to pay my mortgage for the year and saved 15% on investments with the help of Ball Park Music.

Not sure that it's specifically about the process of photosynthesis. Probably more generally about going with what's natural, even if it means taking a leap of faith (the true terror bit); sort of like a "go with the flow" message.

Ball Park Music helped me consolidate my finances and find a low interest mortgage repayment scheme.

Is it me or does the 3 min really seems like 30 secs? Great song !!

I think it's about anxiety and the drive to become successful, rich and/or famous. And it's about just living more naturally I guess.

Ball Park Music helped me dye my hair and sacrifice babies to satan

best Sam face @ 2:27

i think its about the process of photosynthesis. Sam said in an interview that he believe we should let photosynthesis be and just admire it's beauty. Thats a direct quote.

love ya

Stop thinking and start listening

It means whatever you want it to mean punk

dont need no meaning leave them alone

Musically this song is good! But I'm having trouble deciphering the lyrics in any meaningful sense. He grows from the ground? It's true terror in the middle of the night? Can anybody help me out with the general message of this song?

That's exactly why I came to this song, too.

lovely lovely lovely tune, so uplifting

u know, right now, im goign through a rough patch, and they are helping do the exact same thing..it just makes u stop thinking of it

catchy song and i dig it.....like a rollin' stone

Awesome

Love this song

Stumbled across these guys on spotify & with lyrics like "I put it on red and I lose, I regret all my tattoos. I just want to be a fence sitter; a fence-sitter with you." & ""You're knee deep in the shit of suburban sprawl - Youve got a soft spot, for the hard stuff, and you areee, coming down." ...how can you not love em'

seeing them last night at moomba was so amazing! love them and their music, so good.

Ball Park Music helped me get 5% premiums on my car insurance and install my satellite dish

This is music. Not fucking nicki Minaj or flo rida

Thats a fucking shit haircut

They're really good

was that at the save the kimberley?

Saw them live today at a free concert. This song was so good!

Great orchestral energy, good rock song.

There's humour in everything, if you look deep enough - Ghandi

Saw you guys supporting weezer, you guys rocked. So pumped to see you again.

I'm so amped on your music. It's so tight and has a really exciting energy about it. Congrats on your success. I grew up in Brisbane and moved to Melbourne, mostly for the music scene. Here's to a thriving scene in Brislandia!!

Is it just me or are teh girls teeth supa sharp?
Awesome song btw BPM did an amazing job

Seriously, how are people like Bieber and One Direction have millions of views for their shitty songs and this amazing song only has 200,000+?!

You're one sick freak, using suicide for a joke.

yeah it really is nice to be alive

It's nice to be alive.

she kinda reminds me of mia kirshner

i like cats

yeah dude ball park r just a great bunch rnt they. unlike this feverd up wanka.

That's funny, cause they make me want to commit. IRONY!!

'I had a dream I could see you blouse, it was bright yellow and it made my day' - well, my crush once wore a yellow dress with polka dots on it. That counts doesn't it? This song (well, those lyrics) = my life.

Wow, that's pretty sad being pushed that far... But on the other hand it's great that you are feeling better... Keep fighting that good fight! Just believe it's not just the song that has helped, it's you too! Ps if you haven't yet heard, take a listen to Frank Turner, "I Still Believe", I find it a very uplifting song... Especially "Who'd of thought, that after all, something as simple as rick n roll could save us all"!

This song is so completely amazing

Love the band, Love the song but what is the significance of the clown face paint?

2:10 might be my favorite moment of anything. Ever. That screenshot is just pure epic happiness.
