Ruin
Before Ruin: Longing for Redemption
Lyrics
Just another day outside
Expressing the routine nature of the day
They'll put me away for life
Suggesting a potential consequence of actions leading to imprisonment
Can't admit theres something wrong
Denial or reluctance to acknowledge a problem
I've waited for this life so long
Implying anticipation for a particular life situation
You know me but not my weather
Highlighting the distinction between public perception and personal emotions
Oh you think you're oh so clever
Sarcastically addressing someone's perceived intelligence
Take a hint and then destroy it
Encouraging destruction after providing a clue or suggestion
Like you did
Reference to a past action of destruction
I see it from the start
Claiming insight into a situation from the beginning
From the bottom of my heart
Expressing sincerity and depth of emotion
Hope you find another way before the ruin makes its mark
Wishing for an alternative path before irreversible damage occurs
I see it from the start
Reiteration of insight and emotional connection
From the bottom of my heart
Repeating the hope for a different outcome
Hope you find another way before the ruin makes its mark
Reemphasizing the desire for an alternative before ruin
I just think theres something different
Expressing a sense of uniqueness or peculiarity
I cant see past my first inference
Admitting difficulty in seeing beyond initial judgments
I just steal another glance
Stealing another look before a metaphorical end
Before we die our final dance
Acknowledging the inevitability of mortality
Can't exactly say just why I'm dying
Expressing uncertainty about the cause of personal suffering
But saying something else just might be lying
Contemplating the honesty in communication about one's feelings
Another feeling I might drop
Exploring conflicting emotions and seeking resolution
Looking for a way to make it stop
Searching for a solution to alleviate emotional distress
I see it from the start
Reiterating early recognition of a situation
From the bottom of my heart
Reaffirming sincerity and depth of emotion
Hope you find another way before the ruin makes its mark
Repeating the hope for an alternative path
I see it from the start
Emphasizing continued insight and emotional connection
From the bottom of my heart
Reiterating the desire for a different outcome
Hope you find another way before the ruin makes its mark
Reemphasizing the wish for an alternative before ruin
[02:54.73]
[Instrumental break]
I see it from the start
Continuation of expressing initial insight and emotion
From the bottom of my heart
Reaffirming the depth of emotion from the beginning
Hope you find another way before the ruin makes its mark
Repeating the hope for a different path
I see it from the start
Reiterating the continued insight and emotional connection
From the bottom of my heart
Reemphasizing the desire for an alternative before ruin
Hope you find another way before the ruin makes its mark
Repeating the hope for another way to avoid ruin
I see it from the start
Continuation of expressing initial insight and emotion
From the bottom of my heart
Reaffirming the sincerity and depth of emotion
Hope you find another way before the ruin makes its mark
Reiterating the desire for a different outcome before ruin
I see it from the start
Emphasizing the continued insight and emotional connection
From the bottom of my heart
Repeating the hope for an alternative path
Hope you find another way before the ruin makes its mark
Final reiteration of the wish for a different outcome before ruin
