Ruins
Echoes of Desolation: Chris Hudson's Ruins Unveiled
Lyrics
It's been a month since you told me it's over
It has been a month since the speaker was informed that the relationship is over.
It's been a while since it all crumbled down
Some time has passed since the collapse of the relationship.
I'm a ghost and my world's getting colder
The speaker feels like a ghost, and their emotional world is becoming colder.
But it's nicer without you around
Despite the emotional pain, life seems better without the ex-partner.
Cause everywhere you go you leave ruins
The ex-partner leaves destruction ("ruins") wherever they go.
Then talk about them like they're on display
The ex-partner talks about the chaos they create as if it's a public spectacle.
You got the best of me and made a big mess of me
The ex-partner took advantage of the speaker and caused significant damage.
I hope you know you left me in ruins
The speaker expresses the hope that the ex-partner is aware of the devastation they caused.
All your problems were none of my business
The problems the ex-partner faced were not the speaker's concern.
All your friends said I wasted your time
The ex-partner's friends believed the speaker wasted the ex-partner's time.
But all you gave me was just hieroglyphics
The ex-partner's actions and communication were confusing and unclear ("hieroglyphics").
Now I'm left trying to pick up what's mine
The speaker is left trying to recover what belongs to them after the breakup.
Cause everywhere you go you leave ruins
Reiteration that the ex-partner leaves destruction ("ruins") wherever they go.
Then talk about them like they're on display
The ex-partner discusses their destructive actions as if they are exhibits for everyone to see.
You got the best of me and made a big mess of me
The ex-partner caused significant harm and chaos in the speaker's life.
I hope you know you left me in ruins
The speaker reiterates the hope that the ex-partner realizes the impact of their actions.
Packed your bags and told all of your friends that I was
The ex-partner packed their bags and portrayed the speaker negatively to friends.
The worst thing that you'd ever had
The ex-partner labeled the speaker as the worst thing they ever experienced.
Stabbed my back and you left me behind in the dust
The ex-partner betrayed the speaker and left them behind, taking everything they had worked for.
Took all that we'd worked for and ran
The ex-partner took away the achievements and efforts of the relationship.
Cause everywhere you go you leave ruins
Repetition of the theme that the ex-partner leaves destruction ("ruins") in their wake.
Then talk about them like they're on display
The ex-partner talks about their destructive actions as if they are objects on display.
You got the best of me and made a big mess of me
The ex-partner caused a significant mess and turmoil in the speaker's life.
I hope you know you left me in ruins
Reiteration of the hope that the ex-partner understands the impact of their actions.
I hope you know you left me in ruins
Final expression of the speaker's desire for the ex-partner to realize the devastation they caused.
