Hey bra, how we doin' man?
All right.
It's been a while man, life's so rad!

Lying on the floor (lying on the floor)
I've come undone

If you want to destroy my sweater
Hold this thread as I walk away (as I walk away)
Watch me unravel, I'll soon be naked
Lying on the floor (lying on the floor)
I've come undone

I don't want to destroy your tank-top
Let's be friends and just walk away
It's good to see you lying there in your Superman skivvies




Lying on the floor (lying on the floor)
I've come undone

Overall Meaning

The song "Undone" by Jason Cropper has different interpretations, but one interpretation asserts that the song is about the unraveling of one's life and relationships. The beginning of the song is a conversation between two friends who have not seen each other in a while. They talk about how life is "rad" and how they love this band (who may be Weezer, as Jason Cropper was a former guitarist for Weezer), and the upcoming party after the show. The lyrics convey a sense of comradery and joy, which contrasts with the later content of the song.


The chorus begins with "If you want to destroy my sweater, hold this thread as I walk away." This line may represent how one small action or disagreement can unravel someone's life or relationship. The following lines "Watch me unravel, I'll soon be naked, lying on the floor" suggest that the consequences of that action or disagreement can lead to emotional distress and vulnerability. The verse "I don't want to destroy your tank-top, let's be friends and just walk away" may be interpreted as a plea for reconciliation and forgiveness to avoid the crumbling of relationships.


Overall, the song expresses the need for human connection and unity while acknowledging the fragility of life and relationships.
