Ruined
Unveiling the Soul's Struggle: Tribal Seeds' 'Ruined' Reflection
Lyrics
Said you’re ruined little girl
Addressing someone as 'ruined' due to external influences
Said you’re ruined by the world
Stating that the person has been negatively impacted by the world
Lost in your diamonds and pearls
Implies being consumed by material possessions without real value
Little value in this world
Highlighting the lack of importance of material things in life
If I was a big shot man, girl
Speculating on how the person might behave if the singer held a higher status
You would give me your world
Implies the person would give everything if the singer had more influence/power
But since I am a humble man
Not receiving attention or recognition due to being humble
You won’t give me a word
Person's reluctance to engage or communicate due to singer's humble nature
Well stray by the little and you will fall
Warning about the consequences of straying from what truly matters
Nowhere to run with your
Feeling trapped or cornered, with no escape
Back against the wall
Feeling pressured or in a difficult situation
Tonight, tonight you must fight
Encouragement to confront challenges
You must fight yeah
Reinforcement of the need to confront challenges
Well self realize what you really are
Encouraging self-awareness of true identity
A beautiful queen who has been robbed
Recognizing the person's inherent beauty despite being exploited
From I and I yeah from I and I
Reiterating the idea of being robbed, likely of self-worth
I say self realize darling
Emphasizing the importance of self-realization
What you really are baby
Reaffirming the person's true identity amidst feeling robbed
You have been robbed sadly
Expressing sadness at the person's loss of their former glory
From all your glory
Reiterating the person's loss of greatness or significance
I beg you self realize what you really are
Continued emphasis on self-realization
A beautiful queen who has been robbed
Reiterating the beauty and the sense of loss experienced by the person
From I and I yeah from I and I
Reinforcing the feeling of being robbed, this time from a personal perspective
And if you stray by the little
Repeating the warning about straying and its consequences
Then you will fall nowhere to run with your
Reiterating the feeling of being trapped or cornered
Back against the wall
Recalling the feeling of pressure or difficulty faced
Tonight, tonight you must fight
Reinforcement of the need to confront challenges, echoed from earlier lines
You must fight yeah
Reiteration of the necessity to face difficulties
