Night Ruiner
Daiquiri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There it is, there he is, now I have to go
Turn around disappear really have to go
Make a line to the door tapping on my arm
Turn around blank faced
Everything is wrong
Maybe if I'd asked, I would blame myself
But I didn't ask, go bother someone else
Give you an inch, you take all night
Night ruiner, parasite
Venus fly traps they catch prey the same as you
They show more compassion than you ever do
Holding on tight squeezing tight never loosen grip
Jaws that close jaws that work with or without lips
I spend too much time trying to pretend
Best to not engage, your wrath it knows no end

Scarier that STDs and easier to catch
Wrong place wrong time
All you need to contract trapped
Eye contact leaves you terrified




Living in terror
Terrified

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Daiquiri’s “Night Ruiner” depict a situation in which the singer encounters someone they do not want to interact with. The opening stanza details the singer’s initial reaction to seeing this person - they want to disappear and distance themselves as quickly as possible. This person seems to be an unwelcome presence, and the singer refers to them as a “night ruiner” and a “parasite”. The second stanza reveals that the singer did not engage in conversation with this person and would rather blame themselves for their discomfort than give the other person the satisfaction of bothering them. The third and fourth stanzas use vivid imagery to compare this person to a Venus flytrap and emphasize the singer’s fear and anxiety when around them.


The lyrics of “Night Ruiner” seem to describe an encounter with someone who may be clingy or overbearing. The singer seems to feel trapped and helpless when around this person, and decides that the best course of action is to avoid them altogether. The use of imagery such as “jaws that close” and “living in terror” serve to amplify the sense of entrapment and unease that the singer feels. Ultimately, the lyrics seem to suggest that sometimes it is best to disengage from people who are not healthy or positive influences in our lives.
