"Being able to express myself musically without limits, no worries of judgement, no worries of success or failure is why I remain behind the wall of anonymity. I hope you enjoy the first part of my story." – Jane XØ
Undone
Jane XØ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I think you're getting close
I know I'm broken
But that's something I'll never show
If I let you in
You know all the walls will disappear
Hanging by a thread
Till you leave me bare
I could show you what's underneath it all
Just say you need me and I will come undone
I could show you what's underneath it all
Just say you need me and I will come undone
Come undone
What I'm afraid of
Is telling you I'm afraid
If i give you my love
Would it be too much to take?
If I let you in
You know all the walls will disappear
Hanging by a thread
Till you break me down
Till you leave me bare
I could show you what's underneath it all
Just say you need me and I will come undone
I could show you what's underneath it all
Just say you need me and I will come undone
Come undone
In Jane XØ's song "Undone," the lyrics describe the internal struggle of opening up to someone and exposing oneself emotionally. The song expresses the difficulty of being vulnerable and the fear of giving too much of oneself away. The repeated line, "I'm hard to open but I think you're getting close" suggests that someone is attempting to break through the emotional walls built up by the singer. However, with the admission that they are broken, the singer reveals that they fear being vulnerable and exposing what's underneath it all.
The chorus of the song, "I could show you what's underneath it all, just say you need me and I will come undone," repeats the idea of being vulnerable and revealing oneself. The phrase "come undone" can be interpreted as the act of letting go of one's emotional walls and revealing the true self to someone else. The fear and uncertainty are palpable throughout the song, and the lyrics force the listener to empathize with the singer's struggle to trust and let their guard down.

I'm hard to open
I am not quick to reveal myself to others
But I think you're getting close
But I believe you are getting closer to understanding me
I know I'm broken
I am aware that I am damaged
But that's something I'll never show
But I will not let anyone see my brokenness
If I let you in
If I allow you to get close to me
You know all the walls will disappear
You know that my defenses will come down
Hanging by a thread
I am barely holding on
Till you break me down
Until you break down my emotional barriers
Till you leave me bare
Until I am emotionally exposed
I could show you what's underneath it all
I could reveal my true self to you
Just say you need me and I will come undone
All you need to do is express your need for me, and I will let go of my emotional walls
What I'm afraid of
My fear is that
Is telling you I'm afraid
Is admitting to you that I am scared
If i give you my love
If I show you my love
Would it be too much to take?
Would it overwhelm you?
Come undone
Emotionally unravel and expose my true self

Is anyone teleported to a different world or something undescribable when listening to chillstep or when seeing SuicideSheep's video thumbnails?
I'm amazed by this feeling I get that I can't put into words.
Chillstep .mp4s and .jpgs are essential for my living and I totally get out of this world listening to it. If I had never discovered Chillstep I would be totally empty and possibly another monotonous person, it makes me find my essence.
Even though sometimes it makes me put on my headphones and isolate from this physical world that we call reality, I would love to meet someone free minded and somewhat like me, different, but it seems kind of hard. Maybe I should look in a new place, travel the world :)
Yeah I know, kind of random the 2nd paragraph, but I'm a 17 year old guy, lost, confused and I just wanted to share some of my thought and leave you with this amazing quote: "We have a universe inside of us. Reality is the prison of our minds."
Much Love :)
