Come Undone
Carlton Vanessa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Strung out on life's path
I would add up what you mean to me
But I cannot do the math
And this fashionista's garden party
Well I had enough of that
'Cause the only one I come undone for is you
But I'm a special lover sometimes
But you only touch a ghost
I'm a sycophantic courtier with an elegant repose
And needless to say you're the one that I need the most
'Cause the only one I come undone for is you
Yes the only one I come undone for is you
Well the only one I come undone for is you
I know I'm done (I)
And now I see the truth
I know I'm done (I)
Come undone for you
And you've been gone for so long
Waiting here for you
You've been gone for so long
Come undone for you
There are people in this lifetime that we should never meet
'Cause to be here now without you
Well, my life's so incomplete
I'll tell you what you mean to me and maybe then you'll see
Ahhh
Ahhh, nahh
'Cause the only one I come undone for is you
Yes the only one I come undone for is you
Oh the only one I come undone for is you
No, no
The lyrics to Carlton Vanessa's song "Come Undone" are about the singer's intense and all-encompassing love for someone. They describe the singer's feelings of being lost and strung out before they found this person. The singer lists off all the other people and things they've encountered in life, but none of them compare to the love they feel for this one person. Despite feeling like a "special lover" at times, the singer implies that this person is the only one who can truly touch them or make them come undone. The singer admits that they are incomplete without this person and that their life feels meaningless in their absence. The song ends with a plea for the person to understand how much they mean to the singer.
The song is emotional and raw, with powerful lyrics that convey the depth of the singer's love. It speaks to the idea that sometimes we meet someone who changes everything and that love can be all-encompassing and all-consuming. The singer acknowledges that this love has left them vulnerable and exposed, but they would do it all again because the person they love is worth it.
Line by Line Meaning
I've seen myself in a thousand faces
I've encountered so many different people and experiences, that sometimes it's hard to recognize myself in the mirror
Strung out on life's path
Life can be difficult and overwhelming at times, leaving me feeling exhausted and depleted
I would add up what you mean to me
I would try to quantify the impact you have had on my life, but it is impossible because you are so essential to my existence
But I cannot do the math
You cannot put a price or number on the value that you bring to my life
And this fashionista's garden party
I am tired of the materialism and superficiality that surrounds me
Well I had enough of that
I am ready to move on from the shallow ways of my past
'Cause the only one I come undone for is you
You are the only one who can make me feel vulnerable enough to let my guard down
But I'm a special lover sometimes
I can be passionate and intense in moments when I feel truly connected to someone
But you only touch a ghost
But with others, it feels like there is no real connection or depth, like I am just going through the motions
I'm a sycophantic courtier with an elegant repose
I can be charming and flattering in order to win someone's affection, but it is all just a facade
And needless to say you're the one that I need the most
There is no one else who can fulfill my emotional needs the way that you can
I know I'm done (I)
I am at a point where I am ready to commit fully to you
And now I see the truth
I realize that you are the missing piece in my life, and everything else was just a distraction
Come undone for you
I am willing to drop my walls and be completely vulnerable with you
And you've been gone for so long
I have been waiting for you to come back into my life for what feels like an eternity
Waiting here for you
I have been patiently waiting for you to return, because I know that we are meant to be together
There are people in this lifetime that we should never meet
Sometimes, encountering certain people can lead us down a path that is not meant for us, causing pain and heartache
'Cause to be here now without you
Now that I have experienced life with you, I cannot imagine going back to a time when you were not in it
Well, my life's so incomplete
Without you, my life feels like it is missing a critical component, and I am left feeling lost and alone
I'll tell you what you mean to me and maybe then you'll see
I want to express to you just how much you mean to me, in hopes that you will understand the depth of my feelings for you
'Cause the only one I come undone for is you
You are the only person who can make me feel so completely and deeply that I lose my sense of self-control
No, no
This song is over, but my love for you will endure forever
