giving up vs giving in

Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about the lyric “I’m not giving up, I’m just giving in,” from never let me go. I wasn’t sure what the difference was, but in my current deep depression, I wonder if it might mean giving in to the feelings, not fighting them or trying to fix myself. Not giving up on the idea of someday feeling better but not pushing back so hard against the heavy, heavy weight of the sadness.

Wonder if that resonates with anyone or if anyone has their own interpretation?

(I’ve also wondered about “to be saved” vs “to be spared” in the chorus of morning elvis.)
