Come Undone
Greg Laswell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'll brace myself for when you're done
Sweet dreams my love
Take them all
Take them all
While I absorb you and what you've done
What you've done
You never let me in
You shine like winter under sun
Under sun
You kill me with Christmas
Prum pum pum
Prum pum pum
And I hope you find the day that you
Came undone
While I absorb you and what you've done
What you've done
You never gave it wind
You never let me in
Whisper till the coffee comes
Whisper till you come undone
Whisper till the film starts
Whisper till I fall apart
The lyrics to Greg Laswell's song "Come Undone" are filled with vivid imagery and raw emotion. The song speaks of a relationship in which one partner is struggling while the other seems to be thriving. The first few lines of the song set the stage for the rest of the lyrics: "Sleep my love while I come undone / And I'll brace myself for when you're done / Sweet dreams my love / Take them all / Take them all / While I absorb you and what you've done / What you've done." These lines speak to the imbalance in the relationship, with one person seemingly taking and the other being drained.
The lyrics also paint a vivid picture of the other person in the relationship, with lines like "You shine like winter under sun / Under sun / You kill me with Christmas / Prum pum pum / Prum pum pum." These lines suggest that the other person is vibrant and full of life, but also overwhelming and perhaps even oppressive. The final lines of the song, "Whisper till the coffee comes / Whisper till you come undone / Whisper till the film starts / Whisper till I fall apart," speak to the idea that the singer is holding on to the relationship, even though it may be damaging to them.
Overall, "Come Undone" is a powerful song about the complexities of relationships and the ways in which they can both empower and drain us.
Line by Line Meaning
Sleep my love while I come undone
Rest, my darling, while I break down emotionally
And I'll brace myself for when you're done
I'll prepare myself for the aftermath of your actions
Sweet dreams my love
May you have peaceful, comforting sleep
Take them all
Take all my dreams and aspirations
While I absorb you and what you've done
As I deal with the effects of your actions, I take them in fully
What you've done
The things you've done that have hurt me
You never gave it wind
You never put any effort into it
You never let me in
You never allowed me to fully know you
You shine like winter under sun
You stand out in contrast just like a winter's day under a bright sun
You kill me with Christmas
You bring me pain and sorrow, even like the cheer of Christmas (which may bring sadness to some)
Prum pum pum
(Repetitive drumming sound) Indicates the persistent nature of the pain caused by the person in question
And I hope you find the day that you came undone
May you one day experience the same emotional turmoil as me
Whisper till the coffee comes
Whisper to me until the morning comes and we have coffee
Whisper till you come undone
Speak to me until you finally break down
Whisper till the film starts
Talk to me until the movie we're watching begins
Whisper till I fall apart
Keep whispering until I can't handle it anymore and break down
