Unglued
Emotional Unraveling: A Journey of Self-Discovery in Caroline's Spine's 'Unglued'
Lyrics
I didn't know if this was right.
I was uncertain if this was the right thing to do.
But I'll remember this night for the res of
I'll remember this night for the rest of my life.
My life.
Reflecting on the impact of the night on the speaker's future.
You'd never hurt me the way I hurt myself.
You wouldn't hurt me as much as I hurt myself.
Little boys need help,
The speaker acknowledges a need for assistance, especially from someone significant.
And you're all the help I think I need.
The person being addressed is perceived as the necessary support.
When we're alone
Referencing moments of solitude.
When we're alone
When I'm alone I'm thinking about some-
During personal moments of reflection, thoughts focus on something in the eyes of the other person.
Thing in your eyes
There's a specific quality in the other person's eyes that affects the speaker deeply.
Makes me come unglued.
The impact of the mentioned quality makes the speaker emotionally unstable or "unglued."
(Inside you)
(Inside you) - Possibly a reference to the internal emotional turmoil within the other person.
I didn't know this was wrong
The speaker was unaware that their actions were considered wrong.
But for the first time in my life I felt like I
Despite the perceived wrongness, there's a sense of finally belonging.
Finally belong.
Reflecting on the newfound sense of belonging.
You'd never hate me,
You wouldn't despise me as much as I despise myself.
The way I hate myself.
Reiterating the need for assistance, especially from the addressed person.
Little boys need help,
And you're all the help I think I need.
-When we're alone
-When we're alone
-When I'm alone I'm thinking about some-
-Thing in your eyes
-Makes me come unglued.
-(Inside you)
(Inside you) - Possibly a reference to the internal emotional turmoil within the other person.
This old man, he played one,
A nursery rhyme reference suggesting a playful interaction with the other person.
He played knick-knack on my thumb.
This old man, he played two,
-He gave me a sign and it sent me back to
The other person's action signaled a return to them.
You!
When we're alone.

I'm gonna find us a home.
When I'm alone I'm thinking about some-

-Makes me come unglued.
