Undone
Paerish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hear you call
It's quite a start
Allies always come through
When they all need to

I've been told
You were unharmed
Allies always come through
Mean it only to

Allies always get so numb when it's easy, too




Our tongues
Feeling encircled when we're only two

Overall Meaning

The opening line, "I hear you call, it's quite a start" captures the theme of hope found in this song. The singer might be receiving a call from someone they have not spoken to in a while or someone important to them, and they see it as a good omen. The line is short but heavy, as it seems to be the beginning of something real or significant. In the next two lines, the singer reiterates the importance of allies in their life. They believe allies always come through, but it's only practical when the allies need someone as well. It might be stating the obvious, but it's a fact that everyone needs someone they can lean on at some point in their lives.


The next line, "I've been told you were unharmed," creates a sense of relief for the singer that someone they care about is okay. The repetition of the previous two lines emphasizes the importance of allies once again. However, the line that follows - "mean it only to" - marks a shift in the emotions of the singer. They might have said the previous lines out of courtesy and respect, but this line suggests they probably don't mean it. The last two lines, "Allies always get so numb when it's easy, too/Our tongues feeling encircled when we're only two," might indicate a lack of communication or difficulties in expressing oneself. The singer feels like even when they're with their ally, they still feel lonely or trapped. The song captures the complexities of human relationships and how sometimes, even with an ally, it's hard to convey our true feelings.
