Давно меня мучает вопрос, как все-таки переводится словосочетание "come undone".
Вот, возьмем три песни,

Duran Duran / "Come undone"
Припев:
Who do you need who do you love when you come undone
Who do you need who do you love when you
come undone

Robbie Williams / "Come Undone"

So unimpressed but so in awe
Such a saint but such a whore
So self aware so full of shit 
So indecisive so adamant
I'm contemplating thinking about thinking
It's so frustrated just get another drink in
Watch me
come undone

Frank Sinatra / "It was a very good year"

When I was twenty-one, it was a very good year.
It was a very good year for city
girls who lived up the stairs
With perfume in hair that
came undone
when I was twenty-one.
