Unconditional
The Undecided Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see you heart was broken
By someone you love
And now the choice is yours
As push comes to shove
You can be angry and hate
Or fogive and forget
Only time will tell if your pain will let
To forgive
Tear down the walls that trap you
So you can love
Break the chains that bind you
So you can feel
Let out emotions inside you
So you can heal
Release the demons that haunt you

I know the life of trust you had
Has been destroyed
Fear lies confusion and deceit employed
You're emotionally numb
You want to push it away
So that you can feel everyday you pray

Innocence stolen emotionally consumed
You cry out you feel alone
A heart that's broken




A trust destroyed
But a love that's unconditional

Overall Meaning

The song Unconditional by The Undecided is a soulful and emotive piece that speaks about the pain of a broken heart due to a loved one’s betrayal. The lyrics are poignant, and they convey the message that forgiveness is the key to overcoming the pain and finding healing. The song describes the choice one has to make when faced with heartbreak – to either hold onto anger and hate or to forgive and forget.


The first verse of the song talks about the heartbreak and the choice one has to make while dealing with it. The lines “I can see your heart was broken by someone you love, and now the choice is yours as push comes to shove” describe the initial shock that someone goes through when they realize they have been betrayed by their loved one. The next lines “You can be angry and hate or forgive and forget, only time will tell if your pain will let to forgive” imply how forgiveness is not an easy choice, and it takes time and patience. The chorus talks about breaking the walls that trap you, releasing the emotions inside you, and releasing the demons that haunt you, which suggests that the path to healing involves letting go of the emotional baggage.


The second verse talks about how the victim of betrayal feels numb and wants to escape the pain. The lines “You’re emotionally numb, you want to push it away so that you can feel every day you pray” suggest how the person wants to feel normal again and not carry the burden of the betrayal. The lines “Innocence stolen emotionally consumed, you cry out, you feel alone” highlight the depth of the pain and the effects it has on a person. The final lines of the song “A heart that's broken, a trust destroyed but a love that's unconditional” suggest that the singer still believes in the power of love and even after all that pain, still stands by it.
