Everything's Ruined
Daiquiri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Than we had planned
Capital from boy, woman and man
We were like ink and paper
Numbers on a calculator
Knew arithmetic so well
Completed what was assigned
We had to multiply ourselves
A bouncing little baby
A shiny copper penny
And he spent himself
Would not listen to us
But when he lost his appetite
He lost his weight in friends
Baby became a fat nickel so fast
Then came puberty, exponentially
Soon our boy became a million
People loved him so
And helped him to grow
Everyone knew the
Thing that was best
Of course, he must invest
A penny won't do, no (x4)
And he made us proud
He made us rich
And how were we to know
He's counterfeit
Now everything's ruined, yeah (x8)
The song Everything's Ruined by Daiquiri talks about the negative consequences of success, the greed for wealth and how it can lead to the ruin of a family's values and principles. The lyrics begin with the exposition of success through hard work and dedication. The singers achieved their goals in life and were successful in all their endeavors. However, with the next verse, the song shows how success can lead to greed and the obsession for even more money.
The bouncing baby represents the new generation, who comes into the world without any preconceived notions of success or failure. However, in this case, the youngster becomes obsessed with making more money and spends it all on materialistic earthly pleasures. Friends leave the person as soon as the wealth leaves him, showing the superficial relationships that people form with others based on their wealth.
Line by Line Meaning
Things worked out better
The situation improved beyond our expectations
Than we had planned
It was not according to our original plan
Capital from boy, woman and man
We invested and put in our best efforts to multiply our wealth
We were like ink and paper
We were a perfect match working seamlessly together
Numbers on a calculator
We were very good at managing finances
Knew arithmetic so well
We were well-versed with financial calculations
Working overtime
We put in extra effort
Completed what was assigned
We accomplished everything that was expected of us
We had to multiply ourselves
We had to expand and grow as a family
A bouncing little baby
Our son was a happy and energetic child
A shiny copper penny
Our wealth started with small beginnings
And he spent himself
Our son lived extravagantly and wastefully
Would not listen to us
Our son did not heed our advice on money management
But when he lost his appetite
When our son experienced hardships, he lost his motivation
He lost his weight in friends
Our son lost the support of his friends when he lost his wealth
Baby became a fat nickel so fast
Our son became wealthy very quickly
Then came puberty, exponentially
Our son's wealth grew rapidly during his teenage years
Soon our boy became a million
Our son became a millionaire in a short period of time
People loved him so
Our son was loved for his wealth and status
And helped him to grow
People assisted our son in his financial ventures
Everyone knew the
It was common knowledge
Thing that was best
The most important aspect
Of course, he must invest
Our son was expected to invest his wealth wisely
A penny won't do, no (x4)
Investing small amounts of money will not yield high returns
And he made us proud
Our son's success made us feel accomplished and happy
He made us rich
Our son's wealth made us affluent and prosperous
And how were we to know
We were unaware of what was to come
He's counterfeit
Our son's wealth was not legitimate and was obtained through fraudulent means
Now everything's ruined, yeah (x8)
Our family's finances and reputation were destroyed due to our son's illegal actions
