The Undoing Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was on my way
I was on my way to tell you it's no good
I was on my way
Chasing my damage

[Pre-Chorus]
I was chased, thrilled and altered
Chasing my damage
Because I was chased, thrilled and altered
And it raised me

[Chorus]
Suele tener
Me suelto
Me suelto en el deshacer (please)
Al puro perder el ganar no compara
Me suelto, me suelto en el deshacer

[Verse 2]
I always thought you had great style, great style
And style was worthwhile
Because I was
I was on my way
Sobreviviré

About

“The Undoing” is the closer for Interpol, an album that includes heavy overtones of a doomed relationship/relationships

As the final track of said album, it seems fitting that the song is about the main character’s concession at the end of it all. This is made more likely due to “All of the Ways” preceding it; which is a song about the speaker’s lover moving on after a relationship.
