Suddenly
Eddie Redmayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That wouldn't be his way to go
Why so sudden? Why so strange?
And did he say how long he'll be gone?
All he asked for me to say is
He's on a journey far away
Oh how he breaks my heart
And we will never be apart
I promise
The lyrics of "Suddenly" by Eddie Redmayne express the feelings of a person who is worried and confused about the sudden disappearance of someone they care about. The first few lines indicate that the person has left without any explanation, which is unlike their usual behavior. The lyrics question why the disappearance was so sudden and strange, and if there was an indication of how long the person would be gone.
The person who disappeared has only asked the singer to convey that they are on a journey far away. The singer feels heartbroken at the thought of the person leaving, but they assure themselves that they will never be apart, promising hope for a reunion in the future.
The song's lyrics, with their melancholic tones and questions left unanswered, could reflect a situation where someone has left without notice, leaving the singer disoriented and full of questions. However, the promise of reunion suggests that the central theme of the song is ultimately hope and love, that even if people may be separated for a while, the connections they make are strong enough to survive.

Where's he gone without a word?
I am wondering where he went without telling us anything about it. He did not usually leave this way
That wouldn't be his way to go
He never left like this before and this behavior is unlike him
Why so sudden? Why so strange?
I am perplexed about the sudden and peculiar manner in which he left
And did he say how long he'll be gone?
I am curious about how long it will be before he returns and if he mentioned anything about it
All he asked for me to say is
He instructed me to communicate
He's on a journey far away
He is traveling a long distance to a remote location
He can't leave us now
It is unfortunate that he left us at this moment
Oh how he breaks my heart
I am deeply saddened by his departure
And we will never be apart
I give my word that we will always be together
I promise
I make a solemn vow to you
