Destroid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Replaced with new technology
New generation networks
Complex of information society
We are the hunters and their prey
We are new men with new machines
Everything must be seen
Re-civilize our breed
Connect us with modern strategies
Old ideals are falling to pieces
We're left with absolute visibility
We are the hunters and their prey
We are new men with new machines
Everything must be seen
Until there is nothing in between
The lyrics to Destroid's song Ruins tackle the increasing dominance of technology in our lives and the consequences that come with it. The opening lines suggest that while we used to hold onto memories and images of the past, we have now replaced them with new technology. The following lines elaborate on this idea by mentioning the rise of new generation networks and the complex information society that now governs us. The lyrics suggest that technology has become an all-consuming force that is reshaping humanity as we know it.
The chorus of "Ruins" repeats the idea that we are now hunters and their prey. This can be interpreted as a commentary on the ways in which technology has both empowered and enslaved us. The lyrics suggest that we are now new men with new machines, but this advancement has come at a cost. The constant need for visibility and the obsession with seeing everything have left us with nothing in between. The song's lyrics imply a warning of sorts; that we must be careful not to lose ourselves in technology and always remember what makes us human.
