Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crushing down (crushing down)
When everyone's around
I bet you would've paid up or you'll cash down (you'll cash down)
And not make a sound (to make a sound)
Everyone knows now
(So you're sad)
You couldn't see her leaving
(You were gassed)
And that's sucks don't it cause
God yanked the rug and holding your heart will not help you breathe
Sooner or later it all comes crushing down (crushing down),
Crushing down (crushing down)
When everyone's around
I bet you would've paid up or you'll cash down (you'll cash down)
And not make a sound (to make a sound)
Everyone knows now
It all some crushing down
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
(So you're sad)
And you should own it and you fucked up (Damn)
You thought that you were the team
(You were gassed)
And now you're a opponent who wears your gloves (Damn)
A nightmare just ate up your dreams
Sooner or later it all comes crushing down (crushing down),
Crushing down (crushing down)
When everyone's around
I bet you would've paid up or you'll cash down (you'll cash down)
And not make a sound (to make a sound)
Everyone knows now
It all some crushing down
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
(So you're sad)
Could have had so much done you blew it off (Damn)
Your chance is passing you by
(You were gassed)
Time waits for no one
And it cost for a lost
Because made joke should you laugh or cry
Sooner or later it all comes crushing down (crushing down),
Crushing down (crushing down)
When everyone's around
I bet you would've paid up or you'll cash down (you'll cash down)
And not make a sound (to make a sound)
Everyone knows now
It all some crushing down
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
In the lyrics of "Sooner or Later" by Nerds, the song explores themes of facing consequences, heartbreak, and coming to terms with mistakes. The repeated phrase "Sooner or later it all comes crushing down" emphasizes the idea that eventually, the repercussions of one's actions catch up with them, especially when others are aware of what has transpired. The imagery of things crashing down creates a sense of inevitability and finality.
The lyrics delve into the singer's experience of losing love and feeling blindsided by the departure of someone they cared about deeply. The lines "You couldn't see her leaving / And that's sucks don't it cause / God yanked the rug" illustrate the feeling of shock and helplessness that can come from a sudden loss or betrayal. The reference to holding onto one's heart not helping them breathe suggests a suffocating sense of emotional pain.
The chorus repeats the notion of everything crumbling and the weight of public knowledge bearing down on the singer. The use of "bet you would've paid up or you'll cash down" implies a sense of accountability and the need to face the consequences of one's choices. The repetition emphasizes the inevitability of facing the music, no matter how much one tries to avoid or ignore it.
The closing verses explore themes of regret, self-realization, and accepting the reality of one's mistakes. The lyrics highlight the idea of acknowledging one's own faults and accepting the consequences of one's actions. The imagery of missed opportunities and the passing of time without achieving one's potential add layers of reflection and introspection to the narrative.
Overall, "Sooner or Later" by Nerds is a poignant exploration of accountability, heartbreak, and self-awareness. The lyrics convey a sense of impending reckoning, the pain of lost love, and the weight of one's own missteps. It serves as a reminder of the importance of facing our truths, owning our mistakes, and the inevitability of things coming crashing down.
