This bring me back to the time when i was younger and my family was going on vacation...we were driving to the beach. My dad drove the hole night and i woke up when the sun was coming up and we were driving on the mountains...just me and my dad driving through the mountains watching the beautiful sunrise while everyone was asleep it was like the world just stoped and it was me and him. That is a memory i will never forget

​@@dillyDragon Really, that comment changes the song as you know it? I thought it was obvious... Every verse has references to a potential obsession and most literally mention alchol. On top of that the chorus itself is clear statement of feeling "Your drug (alcohol) is a heartbreaker (the alcoholism breaks other people's hearts). My love (for alcohol) is a life taker (could literally kill him)." Always take the chance to read further into the music you listen to, b/c most lyrics usually hide a dark, underlying meaning. Did you know that 'Undone' is about going insane in public and how people in public can easily ignore the disturbed mannerisms of someone that is insane, b/c they are already more insane themselves?

[@patrickdevlin1007]

Shake that preconception pal different bottle thats bubbling... think kid suda lol

[@keithvance2807]

To me this song is about battling alcohol for the majority of his life..being in love with the bottle , the poison that tears apart relationships and eventually takes your life. Then years later getting clean and finding his son and then finding out that hes taken the same path even though they haven't talked in many years

[@sandrajohnson9926]

It's so freaking sad. People make choices, some you grow up with. God bless.

[@MeauxGreenMusic]

It’s about an alcoholic abusive father. Read the lyrics again. It starts as a kid “turn on the television wrestle with Jimmy” dad is drinking behind his back. Later he says to his dad “I heard you cleaned up found Jesus.” “Say it ain’t so” is him being abused.

[@Lilsoso19]

To me this song represents being in love with a girl that I was in a relationship with for 3+ years, forgiving her after every time she cheated and lied, slowly giving up on my own self love and preservation and giving into being a coke and alcoholic. Struggling to not let go of her until she finally got pregnant with another man. Her finally helping me hate her instead of myself realizing that losing her will be the best thing that's happened to me and having my father come back in my life just to see that I'm a disappointment and trying to forgive my father for abusing my mom for years and being an addict. Realizing that he was fighting himself to and that its hard. I started using at the age of 10. Coping with moms new boyfriends which were addicts and abusers. Realizing my mom had no self love either. Finding out that I watched my parents and became them after saying I would never. Choosing to change is the hardest and easiest thing I've ever done.

@@Lilsoso19 I was in a similar relationship around a year ago although not as severe I think as your case, but what happened is that she wouldn’t stop lying and didn’t have anything in common with me and I just kept thinking that I had to stay to keep her happy and not stressed out, even though whatever I did she would still remain the same, although it was hard to tell because of her mood swings and such, and I had lost so much time talking to her that I could’ve spent doing other things, but all in all I just hope she finds better help, and I feel for your story as well

Basically, the singer is using this song to present two main ideas. First it can be said that he wants to air out the emotional baggage he was holding onto due to his dad leaving. And in that regard, whereas he does lambaste him a bit, ultimately it seems that he has in fact forgiven him. Indeed during the bridge, Rivers uses the occasion to actually congratulate his dad on sobering up and finding Jesus.
