Suddenly
Thomas Anders Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will never look for a simple way
And I have to bare every single wave
And I have nothing to deplore
Even nothing to look for
I need something never felt before
Baby!

Shake me suddenly

Take a part of me
Make me feel
Something unreal
Make it suddenly
Oh, inside of me
Make me glow
Losing control

Shake me suddenly
Take a part of me
Make me feel
Something unreal
Make it suddenly
Oh, inside of me
Make me glow
Baby! Baby! Baby!

There is no other actor in my play
You can not let me go or make me stay
'Cause I don't need all this stuff
Just a smile to gain your love
I'm star both here and above

Shake me suddenly
Take a part of me
Make me feel
Something unreal
Make it suddenly
Oh, inside of me
Make me glow
Losing control

You may only watch
Have no right to touch
I am here, I am close
Like a thorny rose

You'll become insane
If I only say
What you want to do
Baby!

Shake me suddenly
Take a part of me
Make me feel
Something unreal
Make it suddenly
Oh, inside of me
Make me glow
Losing control

Shake me suddenly
Take a part of me
Make me feel
Something unreal
Make it suddenly
Oh, inside of me
Make me glow
Baby! Baby! Baby!

Shake me suddenly
Take a part of me

Overall Meaning

He is willing to let go of control and lose himself in the moment. The verses also suggest that he is not interested in playing games with his love interest and just needs a smile to gain their affection. He compares himself to a star in the sky, above worldly concerns. The bridge of the song brings in a more mysterious tone, where the singer refers to himself as a thorny rose that can drive people insane with temptation.

The lyrics to "Suddenly" can be interpreted as a plea for genuine passion and connection in a relationship. The singer is asking to be taken out of his comfort zone and experience something new and exciting with his partner. The thorny rose metaphor can be seen as a warning that love can be dangerous and lead to insanity, but the singer is willing to take that risk for a chance at real connection.
