Deadborns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
late at night
I see you like a ghost
I know it’s gonna be alright
Everything that you told me
You know I never spoke a word
What’s the point of a secret
And I'm losing my mind
And I'm losing my mind
Caught off guard
I wasn't ready
now the time has come
it's getting heavy
You wait so long
for it to happen in a flash
The hand I'm dealt
you know I don't have a chance
And I'm losing my mind
And I'm losing my mind
The lyrics from the Deadborns' song "Ruins" are about a person who is reflecting on their situation as they look out of their window late at night. They see someone who appears like a ghost, but somehow this person brings some comfort to the singer as they feel like everything is going to be alright. The lyrics continue to explore the idea of secrets and how they don't make sense if they have already been heard. The singer seems to be struggling with their situation, perhaps something has caught them off guard and they were not prepared for it. They know that the time has come, and the weight of the situation is getting heavy on them. They feel like they have been waiting for something to happen for a long time, but now that it's here, they feel like they don't have a chance.

From my window
Looking out of my window
late at night
During the nighttime hours
I see you like a ghost
I perceive you as if you were a spirit
I know it’s gonna be alright
I have faith that everything will turn out fine
Everything that you told me
All that you shared with me
You know I never spoke a word
You are aware that I never divulged anything
What’s the point of a secret
What is the reason for keeping something private
if it's already been heard
if it has already been made public
And I'm losing my mind
And I am going insane
Caught off guard
Taken by surprise
I wasn't ready
I was unprepared
now the time has come
Now is the moment
it's getting heavy
It is becoming burdensome
You wait so long
You have been waiting for so much time
for it to happen in a flash
For it to take place rapidly
The hand I'm dealt
The cards I have been given
you know I don't have a chance
You realize I have no opportunity
And I'm losing my mind
And I am going insane
