Suddenly
Peter Heppner (Wolfsheim) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you say
I don't want to hear no lies
From you today
You wonder why you stand
All alone
Bu mayby you just reap
What you've sown
And suddenly…
You find you're in so deep
The more you try in vain
To free yourself again
The deeper you will fall … won't you?
A thousend time I've lent
A helping hand
I'm not asling for a „thanks“
Don't misunderstand
But you're hiding from the truth
If you think that you don't need a friend aren't you?
A long descending road, I've been told
Lies out there in the cold
For those alone
And suddenly …
All the things that you have done … one by one…
Are just coming back to you … so they do…
And suddenly …
These lyrics to Peter Heppner's song "Suddenly" explore the consequences of one's actions and the importance of owning up to them. The singer in the song identifies that they don't care about the excuses or lies that someone may offer for their behavior. They suggest that the person may be facing the consequences of their actions - that they are reaping what they have sown. The word "suddenly" is used to suggest that the person may not have seen the consequences coming, but now they are in "so deep" that it may feel impossible to get out. The more they struggle, the harder it may be to escape the situation they find themselves in.
The second verse of the song provides some context about the relationship between the singer and the person they are addressing. The singer suggests that they have helped this person in the past and they aren't asking for thanks, but they want the person to understand that everyone needs a friend. The line "A long descending road, I've been told, lies out there in the cold for those alone" suggests that the person may find themselves on a difficult path if they continue to push people away.
Overall, the lyrics to "Suddenly" suggest that it's important to take ownership of our actions and to be mindful of the relationships we have with others. Pushing people away or making excuses for our behavior may only lead to isolation and a deepening sense of regret.

I don't give a fuck
I do not care
What you say
about what you tell me
I don't want to hear no lies
I am not willing to listen to falsehoods
From you today
coming from you at this moment
You wonder why you stand
You are curious about the reason for your isolation
All alone
by yourself
But maybe you just reap
However, could it be that you are harvesting
What you've sown
the consequences of your actions
And suddenly…
Abruptly...
You find you're in so deep
You realize you are in a difficult situation
The more you try in vain
Your futile efforts are causing you to sink deeper
To free yourself again
to escape once more
The deeper you will fall … won't you?
the more you will descend
A thousend time I've lent
A thousand times I provided assistance
A helping hand
aid
I'm not asling for a „thanks“
Gratitude is not my expectation
Don't misunderstand
Do not take this the wrong way
But you're hiding from the truth
You are concealing the reality
If you think that you don't need a friend aren't you?
Do you believe that you can manage without companionship?
A long descending road, I've been told
I was informed about an extended path downwards
Lies out there in the cold
Deceit is waiting in the harsh weather
For those alone
For people who are by themselves
And suddenly …
Abruptly...
All the things that you have done … one by one…
Every single thing that you have executed
Are just coming back to you … so they do…
The repercussions are starting to hit you
And suddenly …
Abruptly...
