In the Time of My Ruin
Embracing Ruin's Pain: A Love Born Amidst Chaos
Lyrics
In the time of my ruin
In a time of personal destruction or failure
At the museum I met a curator
Encountered a curator at a museum
Oh, she was so nice, I thought I would date her
Found her pleasant and considered dating her
I was a hawk and I just flew in
Used to be confident but now feeling vulnerable
In the time of my ruin
Still in a period of personal ruin
I did not know you would be created, no
Unaware that someone special would come into existence
Now everyday I am elated
Now experiencing joy every day
'cause you never know what is brewing
Life is unpredictable and full of surprises
Some pain is good
Suggests that some adversity can be beneficial
Sometimes it's good to be blind
Acknowledging the value of ignorance in certain situations
Some pain feels good
Some pain is enjoyable
That's the pain that's that's just the right kind
Embracing a specific type of pain that is satisfying
You didn't know I was a shoe-in
Unexpectedly chosen or favored in a competition
And you didn't know it was my hour
Unrecognized moment of personal significance
And you didn't know that I had the power
Having influence or control over a situation
In the time of my ruin
Reiteration of being in a time of personal ruin
In the time of my ruin
Continued emphasis on personal struggles
In the time of my ruin
Repeated mention of the difficult period
In the time of my ruin
Highlighting ongoing challenges and difficulties
Some pain is good
Reiteration of the idea that some pain can be beneficial
Sometimes it's good to be blind
Reaffirming the value of not knowing certain things
Some pain feels good
Reiteration of the concept that some pain is pleasurable
That's the pain that's that's just right kind
Embracing a specific type of enjoyable pain
They're caving in the roof
Describing a collapsing or deteriorating situation
It is falling all around
Depicting a physical structure falling apart
The floor is going, too
Further deterioration, now involving the floor
Soon I will be falling on down
Anticipating a personal descent or failure
They're caving in the roof
Repetition of the collapsing roof imagery
It is falling all around
Continued description of the surrounding chaos
And the floor is going, too
Reiteration of the floor collapsing, intensifying the situation
Soon I will be falling on down, falling on down
Emphasizing the impending personal downfall
They're caving in the roof
Repetition of the roof caving in, emphasizing the inevitability
It is falling all around, now, all around, now
Intensifying the description of the collapsing surroundings
The floor is going, too
Continued mention of the floor giving way
Soon I will be falling on down
Reaffirmation of the imminent personal descent
They're caving in the roof
Reiteration of the collapsing roof, underscoring the crisis
It is falling all around
Highlighting the pervasive nature of the falling structure
