Undone
W.I.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The coldness keeps we wide awake
I move in silent isolation
Now I'm unrestricted, I'm uncaged
You're my way out
I'm your way in
Can you hear me shout
Now set me free
I'm your way in
Can you hear me shout
Now set me free
Down, down towards the seabed
Sinking to the ocean floor
Left nothing above, said or unsaid
I am not afraid, not anymore
You're my way out
I'm your way in
Can you hear me shout
Now set me free
You're my way out
I'm your way in
Can you hear me shout
Now set me free
The ocean trembles, then goes silent
Anticipating what's to come
I feel his fingers on my body
Finally prepared to come undone
I am steel and I am fire
I'm the phantom on the bridge
I'm ingrained in every fiber
I'm the spark in every wire
I am now the soul of every ship
You're my way out
I'm your way in
Can you hear me shout
Now set me free
You're my way out
I'm your way in
Can you hear me shout
Now set me free
You're my way out
I'm your way in
Can you hear me shout
Now set me free
The lyrics of "Undone" by W.I.P explore the feelings of being lost and alone, struggling to move forward in life. The first verse describes the physical shaking and discomfort that the singer feels while lying alone in bed, while also hearing the sounds of the outside world. The candles that are mentioned seem to represent the fragility and transience of life, as they flicker and wave, reminding the singer of the impermanence of things. The lines "How people see things / And deal with them / In different ways" highlight the fact that everyone experiences life differently, and some may find it easier to cope with challenges than others.
In the second verse, the singer describes the difficulty of trying to move forward in life, feeling as if progress is slow and cumbersome. The lines "Two steps back / Like a walk through silent streets" evoke feelings of frustration and helplessness, as if the singer is unable to escape their turmoil. The repetition of the phrase "I'm saying the 'pop' is gone" seems to suggest that they are tired of putting on a brave face and pretending that everything is okay. The chorus "I'm down / Undone / Down, undone then gone / Behind, beyond / Soft hands that touch the sun" seems to suggest that the singer is feeling overwhelmed and powerless, unable to escape their current situation.
Line by Line Meaning
Laying alone, body shaking
Feeling alone and vulnerable, physically shaken with emotion
Cars outside
The sound of the outside world continuing on despite inner turmoil
They're singing their songs
Others are living their lives unaffected, oblivious to personal struggles
The candles wave
Even the smallest aspects of life are unstable, reflecting larger turmoil
And I get to thinking
Reflecting on the complexity of human emotions and reactions
How people see things
Awareness of the variance in perspectives between individuals
And deal with them In different ways
Acknowledging unique coping mechanisms and emotional responses
Trying to move forward
Desire to progress past internal struggles
Like a walk underwater
Effortful movement, characterized by a sense of pressure and resistance
Two steps back
Setbacks and failures
Like a walk through silent streets
Loneliness and seclusion, but also a sense of sensory deprivation
I've heard the word
Awareness of external criticism and judgement
Guess I'm tired of trying
Exhaustion from attempting to overcome obstacles and expectations
Everybody I'm saying the 'pop' is gone
Feeling disconnected from the energy and excitement of life
Fighting the fight
Continuing to push through personal struggles and battles
With the waterline
Navigating the boundary between success and failure
Catching breathe
Taking a moment to regroup and recover
And a dirty breeze
Realizing that the outside world can be harsh and unforgiving
What's been used up
Recognizing that resources have been depleted over time
Has been more than needed
Acknowledging past excess and waste
One river rolling
Life continues on, unstoppable and unforgiving
Two rivers run dry
Loss and depletion, emphasizing the unpredictable and transient nature of life
I'm down
Feeling defeated and helpless
Undone
Questioning one's sense of self and purpose
Down, undone then gone
A sense of isolation and finality, feeling invisible and forgotten
Behind, beyond
Uncertainty and a disorienting lack of direction
Soft hands
Gentleness, comfort, and hope for a better future
That touch the sun
An uplifting, inspiring image of warmth and light
