Lyrics
You don't know how you're coming across
You are unaware of how your actions are perceived by others.
You don't know what you're coming across
You lack understanding of the impact of your behavior.
You don't know who you're coming across
You are unaware of the impression you are making on someone.
You don't know how you're coming across
Similar to line 1, emphasizing the lack of self-awareness.
So you come undone
Your actions lead to a state of emotional unraveling or distress.
You don't know how you're coming across
Reiteration of being oblivious to how you present yourself.
Acting like you don't give a toss
You behave as if you don't care, showing indifference.
Walking around like you're on some kind of cross
You move through life burdened, as if carrying a heavy load or suffering.
And it's a shame on you, the irony's lost
There is criticism for your actions, and there's a loss of awareness about the irony in your behavior.
When you come undone
Reiteration of experiencing a breakdown or emotional unraveling.
You come undone
Emphasizes the process of falling apart or losing control.
You know, you come undone
Repeated emphasis on the experience of coming undone.
You know, you know, you know
Further reinforcement of the awareness of the emotional breakdown.
You don't know how you're coming across
Repetition of the theme of being unaware of the impact of one's actions.
You don't know how you're coming across
Continuation of the theme of lacking self-awareness.
And I don't think that you're aware of the cost
Suggesting that the person is oblivious to the consequences of their behavior.
So you come undone
Reiteration of the emotional breakdown caused by one's actions.
You come
Repetition emphasizing the ongoing process of coming undone.
You come undone
Continued emphasis on the experience of falling apart or losing control.
You know, you know, you know
Reinforcement of the knowledge or realization of the emotional breakdown.
