Undone
Katelyn Nacon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My life's laid out on the floor
You're gone from each frame
Picture is not the same
I fall apart each day
Wondering why you couldn't say
"I tried to mend up the pieces
But couldn't finish"
It's not my fight, no more
'Cause I'm not whole, no more
'Cause you are gone
So far gone
I'm not undone
Memories fade
Well I'm here to say
"I'm not undone"
Cause you're all
Undone, undone
You are
Undone, undone
You're all
Undone, undone
You are undone
Take a part of me
Help yourself, it's free
Then I'll walk this road
With my soul, all alone
Leave breadcrumbs behind
Fairytale is in mind
When I smile I fake it
'Cause it's all crumbled when you left it
So I won't fight, no more
'Cause I'm not whole, no more
'Cause you are gone
So far gone
I'm not undone
Memories fade
Well I'm here to say
"I'm not undone"
Cause you're all
Undone, undone
You are
Undone, undone
You're all
Undone, undone
You are undone
Ooh, ooh
Ah ooh, ah ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ah ooh, ah ooh
'Cause you are gone
So far gone
I'm not undone
Memories fade
But I'm here to say
"I'm not undone"
Cause you're all
Undone, undone
You are
Undone, undone
You're all
Undone, undone
You are undone
Oh you are
Undone, undone
You are
Undone, undone
You're all
Undone, undone
You are undone
"Undone" by Katelyn Nacon is a song that explores the emotions of a person who has been left behind by someone they loved. The opening lines suggest that the singer feels lost and abandoned, as if her life has been laid out before her and she has no control over it. She describes how she feels as if her memories are fading away, and pictures that were once full of life now seem incomplete without the presence of her loved one. She says that she falls apart each day, wondering why her lover couldn't try harder to mend their relationship. These lyrics illustrate the depth of despair that the singer is experiencing in the wake of a broken relationship.
Later in the song, the singer admits that they are not whole anymore and that it's not their fight anymore. They describe their journey as one of walking alone with only their soul for company. The fairytale-inspired imagery of leaving breadcrumbs behind conveys a sense of longing and hope for a reconciliation that may never come. The chorus of the song repeats how the lover is all undone, suggesting that their departure has consequences that will last beyond the end of their relationship. The powerful lyrics of this song remind us how we as human beings can be left feeling incomplete and lost when we lose the ones that we love the most.
