Come Undone
Cold In May feat. Jessie James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Made of breath and skin,
I've been waiting for you,
Signed with a whole tattoo,
Happy birthday to you,
Was created for you.
(Girl)
At the seams,
I cannot believe their taking my heart,
Into pieces
Ohh it might take a little time,
Might take a little crime,
To come undone,
Now we'll try,
To stay blind,
To the hope and fear outside,
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind, can blow me in,
To crime,
Who do you need,
Who do you love,
When you come undone.
Who do you need,
Who do you love,
When you come undone.
Words,
Play me deja vu,
Like a radio tune,
I swear I've heard before,
She'll,
Resist something real,
Or the magic I'm feeding,
Off your fingers.
(Girl)
I can't help but keep from falling apart,
At the seams,
I cannot believe their taking my heart,
Into pieces
Lost,
In a self filled sky,
Might make it alright,
To come undone,
Now, we'll try,
To stay blind,
To the hope and fear outside,
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind, can blow me in,
To crime,
Who do you need,
Who do you love,
When you come undone.
Who do you need,
Who do you love,
When you come undone.
(Girl)
I can't help but keep from falling apart, (apartt)
At the seams, (who do you need)
I cannot believe their taking my heart, (who do you love)
Into pieces
I can't help but keep from falling apart,
At the seams, (who do you love)
I cannot believe their taking my heart into pieces (when you come undone)
The lyrics of "Come Undone" by Cold In May ft. Jessie James revolve around the themes of love, loss, and the challenges that come with relationships. The opening lyrics "Mine, immaculate dream, Made of breath and skin, I've been waiting for you," suggests the singer’s longing desire for a significant other which is reinforced by the “Happy birthday to you was created for you” line. In the chorus, the singer acknowledges that coming undone and falling apart is a part of life, but that they will try to stay wilder than the wind and resist the hope and fear that exists outside. Throughout the song, there is a sense of vulnerability and desperation for someone's love as reflected in the lines, "Who do you need, Who do you love, When you come undone."
The chorus is particularly poignant as it illustrates the intense emotions that come with falling apart: "I can't help but keep from falling apart, (apartt) At the seams, (who do you need) I cannot believe they're taking my heart, (who do you love) Into pieces." The constant repetition of "who do you need, who do you love" emphasizes the confusion and desperation that the singer feels. The verses continue with the same theme, offering insight into the different emotions the singer experiences when they are with their significant other. The lyrics "Words, play me deja vu, Like a radio tune, I swear I've heard before," are particularly striking as they suggest a cyclical pattern of relationships and how patterns can repeat themselves.

Hey, be free and unpredictable so that you never settle for something that can hurt you.
To crime,
To the wrongdoing that I may have to do.
Who do you need,
Who is important to you in time of need?
Who do you love,
Who is your source of affection?
When you come undone.
When everything falls apart.
Words,
The things people say.
Play me deja vu,
Sound familiar as if already lived through.
Like a radio tune,
Like a song I've heard before on the radio.
I swear I've heard before,
It feels like I have heard the words before.
She'll,
She will.
Resist something real,
She will resist something that is actually true.
Or the magic I'm feeding,
Or she will resist the positive emotions that I am feeling.
Off your fingers.
That you contribute to.
Lost,
Feeling directionless.
In a self filled sky,
In my own confusion and chaos.
Might make it alright,
It may be okay in the end.
When you come undone.
When everything breaks down.
