Second Complex – Surrender (Feat. Color Theory)

Surrender: Dynamic synth pop meets melancholic lyrics

With Surrender, Second Complex deliv­ers a synth pop anthem that seam­lessly fits into the tra­di­tion of greats like "Camouflage" and "De/Vision". The song cap­tiv­ates with an early 90s sound that is nos­tal­gic yet time­less. From the first note, Surrender envel­ops the listen­er in a mel­an­choly atmo­sphere that is rein­forced by the pro­found lyr­ics.

The dynam­ics of the track are remark­able: the speed and intens­ity vary skil­fully, which means that the song nev­er seems mono­ton­ous. Particularly note­worthy is the bal­ance between dance­able beats and a calm mood, which makes the song equally suit­able for the dance floor and for quieter moments.

Lyrically, Surrender addresses the inner struggle between the heart and the mind, a theme that will appeal to many in the goth­ic and elec­tron­ic music scene. The line "The high­er you climb, the harder you fall" is par­tic­u­larly mem­or­able and under­lines the mel­an­chol­ic depth of the track.

Although Surrender is styl­ist­ic­ally in famil­i­ar ter­rit­ory, it is pre­cisely the tech­nic­ally per­fect real­isa­tion and the emo­tion­al depth that make this song a high­light in Dan Beck's work. A must for all those who love mel­an­chol­ic synth pop. This song is part of our Spotify playl­ist ‘New Synth Pop Songs 2024‘.

Lyrics of "Second Complex – Surrender (Feat. Color Theory)"

Devotion
Is not an easy mission
To accom­plish when
Heart and mind seem unaligned and in a sad condition

Commitment
Be true to your mind
When the gut feel­ing fails
And eveyth­ing you thought was right, will turn you blind

The high­er you climb
The harder you fall
The bal­ance is wrong
On the wall

Emotions
Is all you got to live for
The per­fect strive for living
Even if it some­times feels like anoth­er mind war

The high­er you climb
The harder you fall
The bal­ance is wrong
On the wall

Surrender to the real emo­tions from within
It's a lib­er­at­ing feel­ing not a sin
