I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'delivering shock?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'a line and leads found tangled' is the wordplay.
'line' becomes 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'tangled' indicates an anagram.
'leads'+'found'='leadsfound'
'leadsfound' is an anagram of 'lofasudden'.
'a'+'l'+'lofasudden'='ALL OF A SUDDEN'

Can you help me to learn more?
