Come Undone
Jackson Waters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There are times when I've been so weak
There are moments, I hear redemption call them
But I'm too far down to speak
So come sweet fire of mercy, cover up my skin
Warm me like the sun, oh, won't you let me in
So come, come undone
There are scars that I've been hiding
There are ghosts that I do not name
There are closets I don't like ever open
But they open all the same
So come sweet fire of mercy, cover up my skin
Warm me like the sun, oh, won't you let me in
So come, come undone
So come, come undone
I come, come undone
Come, let me come undone
So come, come undone
So come, come undone
In Jackson Waters's song, "Come Undone," the artist sings about the struggles and vulnerabilities one may face in life. The first verse talks about times when the person has fallen and felt weak. They may have heard redemption calling out to them, but they feel too far down to speak. This could be interpreted in different ways such as feeling guilty about something they've done or feeling like they've hit rock bottom and cannot find a way back up.
The chorus then repeatedly sings "come undone," a phrase that can be taken in many different ways. It could represent breaking down or letting go, as if the person cannot hold themselves together anymore. The second verse introduces the idea of hiding scars and ghosts, and not opening certain closets, only to find that they eventually do open. This may represent the person's personal struggles or traumas that they try to suppress but eventually have to face.
The repeated plea for a "sweet fire of mercy" to cover up their skin and warm them like the sun represents the desire for healing and forgiveness. Overall, the song talks about confronting one's vulnerabilities and asking for help in order to come undone and face their struggles.

This is a great song. I liked it the very first time I heard it. I looked up the acoustic version as many here had suggested, and, it is incredible.
