LYRICS
No Surrender (Drake/Sweetnam)
No Surrender, No Surrender…
Hold up, don’t look over your shoulder, just keep your composure
Not any sudden movements now
Hold up, don’t show your emotion, don’t start a co-motion
They sense you’re tense, relax somehow
Chain reaction is getting traction, waiting with bated breath for the word from the faction
Will you jump into action? Are you over reacting?
Hold up, assess the situation
High threat of predation rather face the fear than back down.
Run! They said to hide, don’t open your eyes
Don’t wake the monster!
I’m not the quiet kind, I live with No Surrender!
Run! Run for your life
Now you decide are you a contender?
I won’t apologize, in my mind there’s no surrender!
No Surrender, No Surrender..
Hold up, panic and it’s over, hysteria the joker, laughing like an old rerun
Hold up, just live in the moment, doors are still wide open, time is up so just chose one
So what you gonna do? Anxiety will induce, What’s it all for?
Survive the war and the trauma leaves you strangled.
Hold up switch up your perception,
Distorted reflection, nothing that you can’t overcome.
Run! They said to hide, don’t open your eyes
Don’t wake the monster!
I’m not the quiet kind, I live with No Surrender!
Run! Run for your life
Now you decide are you a contender?
I won’t apologize, in my mind there’s no surrender!
No surrender! No Surrender now! I’m a push back, ransack, it’s a hijack!
No surrender! No Surrender now! I’m a push back, ransack, it’s a hijack!
No surrender! No Surrender now! I’m a push back, ransack, it’s a hijack!
No surrender! No Surrender now! I’m a push back, ransack, it’s a hijack!
No Surrender…
Run! They said to hide, don’t open your eyes
Don’t wake the monster!
I’m not the quiet kind, I live with No Surrender!
Run! Run for your life
Now you decide are you a contender?
I won’t apologize, in my mind there’s no surrender!

Skye's biggest flex is going from Barbie songs to this

[@lifewithdocnic]

I suddenly remembered Skye Sweetnam's song "Human" and watched the music video for the first time in years. Now here I am re-discovering her again and her new music!! She's still so amazing

[@SUMOCYCO]

Thanks Nicole!

Holy $hit. It's skye sweetnam. Awesome. Haven't heard her in like 15 years.

[@SparkleP8nter]

Isn't it awesome? Lots of music to catch up on! 👩‍🎤🤘🎶 I did this years ago, I found Limp a little bit after it came out & have Been a fan (again) ever since.

[@davidstanley9543]

She's come a long way, hasn't she. Skye recently announced that they started writing/recording for the 4th Sumo Cyco album. Amazing.

[@chaychay15]

It took me a week to realize this is Skye Sweetnam. I didn't recognize her at all! So I sat listening to this song thinking to myself, jeez this singer sounds so much like Skye Sweetnam. Until I googled out of curiosity and BOOM there she is. She has always been my favorite singer next to Avril Lavigne. Took her a long time to find her sound and this matched up her taste. I'm glad she is back on the mainstream after all those years

When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. The first sign - the Earth will spin faster. The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. - banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist - Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance. - „He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.“ The Book of Truth mdmlastprophet.com/the-schism-in-my-church-will-be-broken-into-different-stages/ mdmlastprophet.com/the-world-is-about-to-undergo-the-next-stage-of-cleansing/ mdmlastprophet.com/arab-uprising-will-spark-global-unrest-italy-will-trigger-fall-out/

I am jealous if everyone who's been here for years because they're fuckin here ain't they, let's pull the algorithm over this way Oh Great and Powerful KZbin Overlords...come onnnnnn... It's not like this song reminded me of how much I love human beings in one the most odd... yet prolific of fashions...yet, never dares to get old or repetitive, nuff respect to everyone professionally, they have it from me, the most random commenter ever, but Greatness doesn't occur because you want it to... It just mothafuckin does, don't it? I can feel it in my marrow when I get to see it. Any haters, go okay like they did and sing and move like only Skye (I think...lol) can give them their sound... Even if it's got some schmegment on her cheek and gave me Britney vibes like if she really switched to porn after " The Baldy Incident" and was all know what happened after that, never the same again... Skye isn't the depressing real life story... She's the alternate timeline version who turned out JT and then got N'SYNC'ed sorry Lance lol yikes hope somebody has my back weird that one lol In the end... Fuego 🔥🚒🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 8.5/10 💪💪😉

This song lands in my Top-5 of Sumo Cyco. A little less crazy than usual (but still insane!, style of old Cycos is constantly present), more heavy - I like this direction. I also want to appreciate much more minimalistic video - it's great that they are still experimenting.

For now, the best I can do is share it with my friends. You know, spreading the word and raise your fan base a little more maybe. And also maybe one day I will see you giving a concert in Portugal. I would be there, front row and head banging until a neuron jumps out of my head, or some sh*t. xD Really that would be awesome if you guys could come to Portugal, or other country in Europe. Btw I automatically thought of 'in this moment' (another great band) after reading the down the rabbit hole reference.

@@raistlin906 Check out some of the Livestreams on Sumo Cycos YT. Basically the band lives in a fictional world called Cyco City and each music video either features Sever interacting with or stars a different character from their universe. As for the gangs, their upcoming album Initiation is going to center around four gangs that run Cyco City- Not Sorry Sorority, Anonymous 9, Assassinners, and Malice & Co - and you can buy merch and “join” their gangs in the upcoming quiz they’re working on. Their past two albums Opus Mar and Lost In Cyco City also features a bunch of wacky characters and their singles as well. Enjoy!
