Undone
FFH Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open up wide, swallow down deep
No spoon full of sugar could make it sweet
The cancer inside stealing my sleep
Night after night it keeps haunting me
The secrets I keep
Are tearing me up inside
I try to hide and then I wonder why
Why I’m still running when I know there’s no escaping

Come undone, surrender is stronger
I don’t need to be the hero tonight
We all want love we all want honour
Nobody wants to pay the asking price

Fall on my knees, fall on my pride
I’m tripping over all the times I’ve lied
I’m asking please, but I can see in your eyes
You don’t need tears for alibis
It’s true what they say
Love must be blind
It’s why You’re still standing by this sinner’s side

You’re still by my side when all the things I’ve done have left you bleeding

Come undone, surrender is stronger
I don’t need to be the hero tonight
We all want love we all want honour
Nobody wants to pay the asking price

I don’t think I can drive it home tonight
I don’t think I wanna be alone tonight

Come undone, surrender is stronger
I don’t need to be the hero tonight




We all want love we all want honour
Nobody wants to pay the asking price

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of FFH's song "Undone" convey the story of someone struggling to deal with the weight of their secrets and the consequences of their actions. The opening lines "Open up wide, swallow down deep, no spoon full of sugar could make it sweet" paint a picture of someone who knows they must face the truth but is struggling to do so. The singer's inner turmoil is causing constant sleepless nights, "The cancer inside stealing my sleep, night after night it keeps haunting me." The secrets they keep are causing them to tear themselves apart, "the secrets I keep, are tearing me up inside, I try to hide, and then I wonder why." Despite their internal struggles, the singer still tries to run from their problems, "Why I'm still running when I know there's no escaping."


As the chorus begins, the singer realizes that to find peace, they must surrender and confront the truth. They can't be the hero tonight and need to let go of their pride, "Come undone, surrender is stronger, I don’t need to be the hero tonight, we all want love, we all want honor, nobody wants to pay the asking price." They ask for forgiveness for the times they've lied and recognize that love must be blind to still stand by them in their faults, "Fall on my knees, fall on my pride, I'm tripping over all the times I've lied, I'm asking please, but I can see in your eyes, You don't need tears for alibis, it's true what they say, love must be blind, it's why You're still standing by this sinner's side."
