Icontest Week 10, ...and no whining, 'k? Options

[Feral Phoenix]

This week's challenge is Song Lyrics 3 (again, again, I know. I've had these planned for a long time, and they're not changing no matter HOW much you whine).

And the song we are using this time is Sweet Surrender, by Sarah McLachlan (and I don't care if you hate Sarah McLachlan--the lyrics to this song are great ones to use for icon-making!)

The lyrics are under spoiler tag:

it doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I've left behind me
is a cold room
I've crossed the last line
from where I can't return
where every step I took in faith
betrayed me
and led me from my home

and sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

you take me in
no questions asked
you strip away the ugliness
that surrounds me
(who are you?)
are you an angel
am I already that gone
I only hope
that I won't disappoint you
when I'm down here
on my knees

and sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
(who are you?)
sweet surrender
is all that I have to do

and I don't understand
by the touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall

I miss the little things
I miss everything about you

it doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I left behind me
is a cold room

sweet surrender is all that I have to give
(who are you?)
sweet surrender is all that I have to do

Icons are due Monday; I better have a good haul or else. *cracks whip*

I don't know what a "Maken" is, but you did not demand or require that people not whine.
The "k?" implies a request.
And it's not whining, it's a constructive suggestion. The reason so few people are entering the lyrics contests is because the songs suck, and the lyrics contests are so restrictive on creativity when there's only one song.
