Q:
Could you please tell me what "by all means, by any chance, come undone" mean?
I read these words in many songs and I just understand their meaning a little bit but not so exact. I want to know the precise meaning.
Thanx a lot. :D
A:
There is some range of meanings, but basically:
by all means -- certainly; indeed
by any chance -- perhaps; possibly
come undone -- fall apart; collapse; fail; become unbuttoned
Especially, By all means has the notion of certainly/of course when you agree with or support totally what someone has suggested/asked as in:
A; Is it all right if I borrow your car again tonight?
B; By all means (of course/certainly/indeed), borrow it whenever you like.
