Honderd Kleine Stukkies
Danny de Munk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We zouden lekker wat gaan wandelen in het bos.
Ik had me verheugd wat met jou te gaan stoeien.
En daarna dan te rusten in het zachte mos.
Ik belde aan en wachtte drie minuten.
Niemand deed open maar ik hoorde de tv.
Dus ik liep naar achteren, dacht dat je mij niet hoorde.
Jij brak mijn hart, in honderd kleine stukkies.
Toen je me zei dat alles voorbij moest zijn.
Ik voel me rot.
Ik schaam me voor m'n tranen.
Maar oh jou woorden deden mij zo'n pijn.
The lyrics of Danny de Munk's song "Honderd Kleine Stukkies" tell the story of a protagonist who has made plans with someone they care for deeply. They were going to go for a walk in the woods, play around a little bit, and then rest on the soft moss. However, when the singer arrives, no one answers the door. They hear the TV on and assume that their companion didn't hear them. But when they make their way to the back of the house, they are confronted by their love interest and their mother. The singer is devastated when their companion tells them that everything is over between them. Their heart shatters into a hundred little pieces, and they are left feeling ashamed for crying but unable to hold back their emotions.
The lyrics of "Honderd Kleine Stukkies" are packed with raw emotion and tell a heart-wrenching story of unrequited love.

When their love interest tells them that everything is over, their heart breaks into a hundred pieces, symbolizing the depth of their suffering.
