Aaryan Shah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My eyes got used to the night
Don't try to change my mind
You're only wasting my time
I don't wanna stay in your life
And I don't want you in mine
Don't ask what you don't wanna find
Oh, why can't you look in my eyes?
Oh, don't you mistake my loneliness for love
You know that you'll never be enough
You won't understand the things I've done
You won't understand what I've become
There's too much pain I can't let go
Hidden in scars I'll never show
With you, I'm never on my own
But I know I'll always feel alone, oh
You don't know how far I'll go
To not spend these nights alone
There's no one I let too close
No one I trust anymore
I got no else to use
And you got nothing to lose
So go on and use me, too
Oh, but don't you mistake my loneliness for love
You know that you'll never be enough
You won't understand the things I've done
You won't understand what I've become
There's too much pain I can't let go
Hidden in scars I'll never show
With you, I'm never on my own
But I know I'll always feel alone
Always feel alone
No, no
Feel alone
The lyrics of Aaryan Shah's song "Ruins" express the feelings of a person who has given up on love and accepted loneliness as their only companion. The first verse describes the singer's resistance to change and not wanting anyone in their life. The line "Too blind to see the light" implies that the person is not willing to consider a different path. Their eyes have gotten used to the darkness, representing their familiarity with loneliness. The person warns others not to waste their time trying to change their mind because they have made up their mind already. They don't want anyone in their life and don't want to be in someone else's life either. The lyrics also express the desire to save someone else from living their lies. This line perhaps indicates that the person has been hurt in a previous relationship and doesn't want to hurt anyone else.
In the chorus, the singer warns their partner not to mistake their loneliness for love. They acknowledge that their partner will never be enough for them, and they won't understand the things they have done or the person they have become. The person admits that there is too much pain that they can't let go of, represented by hidden scars they will never show. Being with their partner prevents them from being on their own, but they still feel alone.
Finally, the bridge conveys a sense of desperation. The singer claims that they would go to great lengths to avoid spending nights alone. However, they can't let anyone get too close or trust anyone anymore. They feel like they have no one else to use, and the partner has nothing to lose, so they might as well use each other.
In conclusion, "Ruins" is a poignant song that expresses the desperation and pain of a person struggling to come to terms with their loneliness. The lyrics offer a glimpse into the singer's past and the scars they carry. The chorus conveys a sense of hopelessness, with the singer acknowledging that they will always feel alone.

So go on and use me, too
Use me to alleviate your own loneliness

This feeling will not go away
Feel alone
I cannot escape the feeling of loneliness and isolation

Aaryan shah in this song some lines are too emotionally intense and I wonder how you write the intensity so deeply 👇
There's too much pain I can't let go
Hidden in scars I'll never show 👇
Too blind to see the light
My eyes got use to the night 👇
With you I'm never on my own
But I know I'll always feel alone...
Your writing is as amazing as your vocal...add me in your fan list.

Pain comes from the sprit that tries to manipulate you, why give it a feel
Just woke up from a dream, there was a hellfire song the Spirit sang in beautiful sound it went on and on beautifully, and it rang out over an oven door "... one day, this will say, shut this door forever-more,"
It was a two minute sing, and that's all that I remember, but all I can say is wow: ) and okay
I woke up from a hellfire chorus to see, all is peaceful, on the earth
Beauty left the eye of the beholder when he saw truth
He preferred granite not sadness and later experienced treachery
Yet diamonds are still chocolate
Give granite
Stare at a rock
Look at Kings and Queens, they are rare among people
Behold beauty
And some are black widows that still want to eat their mate when their mate saw a black widow and left, though she had two eyes and 32 teeth, and still she comes after you
Been through 18 deaths no less and still she steals from my children after she used the courts to commit felony theft by deception and other multiple felonies, even daily stealing from my children
But some sweet girls you should take out for dinner
Everyone has a life, some many
Most realize it all was a mistake
