Suddenly
Japunga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something's got a hold on me
I can't believe what's real
I've been there on my own
I want to find what comforts me
Comfort me before I go
Through all the days I've tried
Now I'll have to get there on my own
I decided I must go, to walk alone
No hands pushed in my back
Will I see you there you realised I'm gone
You left inside of me, but now you're gone
I feel like I am lost
Lay me down to rest
Don't miss me when
Don't miss me when I'm gone
Everything that I have done
Means nothing now, now you've gone away
You said you would meet me there
You left me on my own
I decided I must go, to walk alone
No hands pushed in my back
Will I see you there you realised I'm gone
You left inside of me, but now you're gone
I feel like I am lost
Lay me down to rest
Don't miss me when I'm gone.
The lyrics to Japunga's song "Suddenly" are about a sense of loss and feeling like one is on their own after someone has left. The song starts with a desire to find something that can bring comfort during a difficult time, but the singer cannot quite believe that it is real. They have been trying to find this comfort on their own for a long time, but now they have to continue the search without the support that they had before.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the relationship that they had with the person who has left, and how that relationship no longer has any meaning now that they are gone. The line "You left inside of me, but now you're gone" encapsulates this idea - the memory of the person remains, but it is a hollow imitation of what was there before. The singer decides to move on and walk alone, but they still hope that the person will be there when they arrive. However, they ultimately come to terms with the fact that they will have to go it alone, and they ask that they not be missed when they are gone.
The song conveys a sense of longing and sadness, but also a determination to keep going even in the face of difficult circumstances. Overall, it is a poignant reflection on the pain of loss and the struggle to find meaning in its aftermath.
