Come Undone

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From someone else
That you can't sit at home
And just give to yourself
And I can see you crave it
I see it in your eyes
When you let someone get real close
Just to watch you say goodbye
And you make them cry
You don't make it easy for yourself
He gives you heaven
You tell him to go to hell
He gives up and walks away
Cos you pushed him to the edge
And you don't know why you do it
Don't know why you go and do it again
Again
You pick up your pen
And write their name in red
Add it to the ever growing
List of broken hearted men
But I think you're funny
And deep down you're good
Inside I know there's someone who just
wants to be understood
But stop it
Cos you know you should
You don't make it easy for yourself
He gives you the sun
You give him a storm of hail
He gives up and walks away
Cos you pushed him to the edge
And you don't know why you do it
Don't know why you go and do it again
Your love's a gun
And by god it kills them
One by one
And my god it thrills you
But come undone I know you just want
a nice, real love
So go make it easy for yourself
When he gives you heaven
Get up that stairwell
And don't start running
And don't go pushing him right to the edge
You won't have to do it
You won't have to do it
You won't have
To do it again
The song "Come Undone" by Joely talks about a woman who knows she has issues in relationships, but can't seem to stop herself from hurting the men who get close to her. The lyrics wonder what it is that the woman needs from someone else that she can't give to herself. The song mentions how this woman craves intimacy, but is unable to sustain a healthy relationship because she pushes the men away before it gets too serious. She kisses boys and makes them cry, which makes it seem like she enjoys inflicting emotional pain. However, the song acknowledges that deep down inside, this woman just wants to be understood and loved for who she is.
The lyrics of the song are quite insightful and relatable to people who have trouble sustaining healthy relationships. The song recognizes that people may have issues, but also implies that these issues can be overcome by making it easier for oneself.
Line by Line Meaning
What is it you need
What is it that you require from someone else?
From someone else
From another person
That you can't sit at home
That is not possible to do at home
And just give to yourself
And simply provide for yourself
And I can see you crave it
And I can see that you desire it
I see it in your eyes
I can see the desire in your eyes
When you let someone get real close
When you allow someone to get very close
Just to watch you say goodbye
Only to see you say good-bye
You kiss the boys
You kiss the guys
And you make them cry
And then make them cry
You don't make it easy for yourself
You make it difficult for yourself
He gives you heaven
He gives you an incredible experience
You tell him to go to hell
You tell him to leave and never come back
He gives up and walks away
He gives up and leaves
Cos you pushed him to the edge
Because you pushed him to the limit
And you don't know why you do it
And you're not aware of why you do it
Don't know why you go and do it again
Don't understand why you repeat this pattern
You pick up your pen
You take your pen
And write their name in red
And write their name in red ink
Add it to the ever growing
Include it in the continuously increasing
List of broken hearted men
List of men whose hearts you have broken
But I think you're funny
But I think you're amusing
And deep down you're good
And at your core, you are good
Inside I know there's someone who just
I know that inside there is someone who simply
wants to be understood
Wants to be comprehended
But stop it
But put an end to it
Cos you know you should
Because you know you ought to
Your love's a gun
Your love is akin to a weapon
And by god it kills them
And, by God, it ends up killing them
One by one
Individually
And my god it thrills you
And, my God, it excites you
But come undone I know you just want
But let go, I know that you simply want
a nice, real love
An honest and satisfying love
So go make it easy for yourself
So go and make it simple for yourself
When he gives you heaven
When he provides you with an incredible experience
Get up that stairwell
Take the stairs up
And don't start running
And don't hastily go away
And don't go pushing him right to the edge
And don't force him to the limit
You won't have to do it
You will not have to do it
You won't have to do it again
You will not have to repeat it
