Hello! I'm a student. I have a question. In some songs I've heard "come undone" so I grew interested in what it really means. I've found explanation like this: to unbutton, unfasten. But I don't think that was meant in songs. Could you possibly help me, I'll be very grateful:)

In an emotional context, it would mean to become emotionally unravelled, perhaps due to the breakup of a relationship, or a death.
