Ruin
Distinguisher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got to deal with what I've got
The ruins of my heart crushed to dust
I've got nothing left other than
I've reached it
No more pretend
I've been cast off the deep end
You've caused my soul to feel less than pertinent
This pain, embodied suffering
It's time for me to feel something
Now that you're on the outside
You can look to see the ruin in my eyes
You can crack my shell all you want
But I'll rebuild in the end
Take what I've got
It'll be okay (give up)
Eventually (give up)
But for now (give up), I'll deal with the rot
Rot
It'll all be okay eventually
I have to deal with what I've been dealt because
This pain, embodied suffering
It's time for me to feel something
Now that you're on the outside
You can look to see the ruin in my eyes
I feel it taking over me
Abandoned, no one hears my plea
This burden, more than I can bear
I'm living in the ruins of my despair




For now,
I'll deal with what I've got

I have to face my current circumstances


The ruins of my heart crushed to dust
My heart has been broken beyond repair


I've got nothing left other than
All that's left is emptiness


I've reached it
I've hit rock bottom


No more pretend
I can no longer fake my emotions


I've been cast off the deep end
I've been pushed past my breaking point

You've made me feel insignificant and unimportant


This pain, embodied suffering
The pain I feel is overwhelming and all-consuming


It's time for me to feel something
I need to allow myself to feel my emotions fully


Now that you're on the outside
Now that you're no longer with me

You can see the damage you've caused me


You can crack my shell all you want
You can try to break me even more


But I'll rebuild in the end
I will find a way to heal and overcome


Take what I've got
Take everything I have left


It'll be okay (give up)

The weight of my pain is overwhelming


I'm living in the ruins of my despair
My pain has left me feeling destroyed and hopeless


For now, I'll deal with what I've got
For the time being, I'll have to cope with my current situation
