about

Undone can be about life's changes, friendship or people's approach to knowledge and media. It's a (self) critic. It's actually about me.
And You.

It was written in the middle of the 10's, during the Linterno years but never actually developed. The lyrics and the vocal melody have gone through severe changes during the last two years and finally completed right in the middle of the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic, while Lore was ill and aching because of the goddamn virus (the result of Weltschmerz, maybe?).
The graphics for the cover kind of condense the many ways the lyrics can be interpreted and are based on something that happened to him several times in his life, so... we'll explain this instead of the song:

You finally have your brand new shoes... a gift or the result of the money you saved from your usual life.
Your old ones were worn out and you had to wait to have a new pair. It's stupid but this makes you kind of happy.

And now you're sitting on the floor, swinging between your painful what-ifs and the surprisingly loud noise of the world around you, where every single member of this orchestra - trucks, traffic lights, airplanes - is perfectly discernable but can't help with sinking in your thoughts.
You glance at your brand new shoes and realize that the long awaited goods is not that special anymore: they're still clean, with brand: new undone laces, they're just the same as a few hours ago, but something happend in your life and this doesn't make sense anymore.

lyrics

Locked down with no chance to heal I need a way to stop my head
some mess and nonsense but I'm not responsible for half of it
no time for friends I've never met before
I long for drinks although I've never been this lost for drinking
I'm not sure am I lost or hiding
I sure can't find a way to get out of this jail I am building

A selfish thought and I am at stakes 'cause of myself
I Bother to confess it's not my fault
It's all made up by myself
It's me and a billion more
but I think I must be pissing someone else, again.

Well I'm done giggin but I'm not abiding it
abide it
all my attempts are turning in obtaining anything
and all I want is to survive
all this pride, all this words I'm reading through
while their pain is everything I'm falling far from you
but I still can't find a way to stop worring for them… again.

Wrong is what I'm trying to fit in
a bunch of words I'm off to stress
a simple way to abuse my own conscience

As I'm losing all my time
to remind a bunch of best-times memories
with no progress in trying to convince the world we all long for living
my friend I can't be sure those good old times are coming
I can't find a way to convince myself with all those voices screaming

All their words and I'm
I'm here by accident
I guess it's just because we're all alone
a sense of dizziness
as I realize I'm still waiting for some help…
no need for chances, enough of it, no way to save myself
again

Well I'm done giggin but had not enough of it
enough for me
All I wish is that I could mess up with everything
I long for living my own life
but your lies, they are all made up for you
Just believe in everything. no truth out of the blue.
and you think I should just care about myself… oh well
I wont give in

I'll have my doubts anyway, but not give up to yours

I still think I should just care about myself….

No need for chances, enough of it, no way to save myself
a bunch of words full of parts of me, I need to figure out,

No rest for thinking, enough of it, I'm far from twenty but I'm not done yet!
