Unfold
Alina Baraz feat. Galimatias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cover my thoughts in gold
I'm your flower, watch me unfold
My vulnerability, letting you consume me
The parts of me that eyes can't see
The glowing underneath
Picking off the petals
I'll let you if you're gentle
Hey, watch me unfold
Watch me unfold
Watch me unfold
Hey, watch me unfold
Watch me unfold
Watch me
Hey, he says that I'm glowing
Hey, He says that I'm glowing

This kind of love we can't control
The art of touch, I am covered in gold
I know that you feel me now
No I'm never going down
The parts of me buried underneath
The glowing, don you see?
I know that you feel me now
No I'm never going down

Hey
Hey
Hey, watch me unfold
Watch me unfold
Watch me unfold
Hey, watch me unfold
Watch me unfold
Watch me
Hey, he says that I'm glowing
Hey, He says that I'm glowing

The kind of love we can't control
The kind of love we can't control
The kind of love we can't control
The kind of love we can't control

The kind of love we can't control
This kind of love we can't control
Love, love
We can't control
The kind of love
We can't control




This kind of love we can't control
The love we can't control

Overall Meaning

In Alina Baraz and Galimatias's song "Unfold," the lyrics speak to vulnerability in love and the willingness to open oneself up to another person. The opening line, "Cover my thoughts in gold," sets the tone for the song, as gold is often associated with value and worth, suggesting that the singer sees her thoughts and emotions as precious and desires them to be respected and taken care of. The verse then continues with "I'm your flower, watch me unfold," which can be interpreted as an invitation to be loved and cared for while simultaneously allowing herself to bloom and grow.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Watch me unfold" multiple times, emphasizing the theme of vulnerability and the fear of being exposed. The line "The parts of me that eyes can't see" implies that there are parts of the singer that she has kept hidden and protected, but is now willing to reveal to her partner. The use of "glowing" also suggests that the singer feels a sense of radiance and happiness that comes with opening oneself up to love.


The song then continues with more emphasis on the idea of being covered in gold, which can be interpreted as an external manifestation of how the singer sees herself on the inside. The repetition of "The kind of love we can't control" suggests that the love the singer feels is intoxicating and beyond her control, but also something she desires deeply.


Overall, "Unfold" speaks to the transformational power of love and the willingness to be vulnerable in order to experience it fully.
