Description
The words sound like an admission that dazzling mirages can blind us more than real stars. Chasing after “false gods” leaves us empty-handed and with the feeling that time has been wasted. But there is no tragedy in this - rather, clarity, as if the neon lights in the room have finally been turned off and the door to the outside has become visible.
The motif here is not defeat, but a turning point: to abandon unnecessary idols, to give them up without pity, and finally to free up space for something real. The music holds this decision confidently, like a mantra, where each repeated line only drives the nail deeper into the old system of values. The irony of fate is that defeat turns out to be victory, because sometimes the way forward begins with surrender.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I've been wasting time
Chasing after false gods
What I thought was light
Turned into a blind spot
I got what I want
Now I'm empty-handed
What have I become?
Now I think it's time
Will you change my mind?
Kill my idols
I'm losing life
You have no rival
Your way is right
No more denial
You are the prize
God, no more idols
I surrender mine
Surrender mine
Surrender mine
Surrender mine
God, no more idols
Surrender mine
Surrender mine
Surrender mine
God, no more idols
If it means the end
If I'm starting over
Either way's a win
At least I'm getting closer
Kill my idols
I'm losing life
You have no rival
Your way is right
No more denial
You are the prize
God, no more idols
I surrender mine
Surrender mine
Surrender mine
Surrender mine
God, no more idols
Surrender mine
Surrender mine
Surrender mine
God, no more idols
Surrender mine
Surrender mine
Surrender mine
God, no more idols
Surrender mine
Surrender mine
Surrender mine
God, no more idols
My survival
Is on the line
God, no more idols
I surrender mine
