Undone
headchange Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Already gone; again.
I can feel it caving in.

Everything built, was built to fall.
Thanks to you, my heart was torn apart.

I can feel it come undone through the night.
Why can't you see, you're killing me.
(Our love is lost).

The feeling that I get when I'm laying next to you and everything comes undone.
It's the only thing that keeps me coming back to you, when everything comes undone.

A bed of nails and shards of glass, pierce the skin, 'til I collapse.

I can feel it come undone through the night.
(I, feel, free).

It comes undone again.




I can feel it.
Everything comes undone.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Headchange's song "Undone" are undeniably melancholic and emotive, conveying a sense of heartbreak and loss. The opening lines, "Already gone; again. I can feel it caving in," speak to a sense of resignation and inevitability about a relationship that is falling apart. The singer seems to be grappling with the idea that everything in their life was "built to fall" and that their heart has been "torn apart" by someone they presumably loved deeply.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of a back-and-forth struggle between the singer's desire for the person who has hurt them and the painful reality that this relationship has caused them a great deal of pain. They acknowledge that they "feel it come undone through the night" and that their partner is "killing" them, yet they also describe the feeling of being next to them as something that is both comforting and unsettling. The image of a "bed of nails and shards of glass" is particularly potent, suggesting that staying with this person is akin to willingly subjecting oneself to pain and suffering.


Overall, "Undone" is a poignant and introspective song that explores the complexities of love and relationships. It speaks to the pain of holding onto something that is hurting us and the struggle to let go and move on.
