Ruins
Eternal of Sweden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't let you know all the secrets,
Watch me have it all split by my hand,
Mother Nature raging with fury upon us,
Thunder and Lightning is coming our way
Seasons changing every hour,
no one'll tear us, fall in,
what have we done?
when our children's crying for some freedom,
begging just to wake up again.
Where will we go when everything's blown to pieces?
Nowhere! Ruins is all I see.
Moonlight shinning,
Feeding the flames that will burn you,
Voices keep calling out the names
Mental, Monsters,
No one can tell when they need you,
Laughing just by the eternal flame!
Seasons changing every hour,
no one'll tear us, fall in,
now it's time to act before we burn.
what have we done?
when our children's crying for some freedom,
begging just to wake up again.
Where will we go when everything's blown to pieces?
Nowhere! Ruins is all I see.
Seasons changing every hour,
no one'll tear us, fall in,
now it's time to act before we burn...
what have we done?
when our children's crying for some freedom,
begging just to wake up again.
Where will we go when everything's blown to pieces?
Nowhere! Ruins is all I see.
what have we done?
when our children's crying for some freedom,
begging just to wake up again.
Where will we go when everything's blown to pieces?
Nowhere! Ruins is all I see.
The lyrics to Ruins by Eternal of Sweden are filled with imagery of destruction and chaos. The first stanza talks about darkness falling and secrets being kept, while the singer watches everything around them fall apart. The lines "Mother Nature raging with fury upon us, Thunder and Lightning is coming our way" suggest a natural disaster is imminent. The singer seems helpless and unable to prevent what's about to happen.
The chorus of the song asks a series of questions, "what have we done?" and "where will we go when everything's blown to pieces?" The lyrics paint a picture of a world in ruin, with children crying for freedom and nowhere left to turn. The line "now it's time to act before we burn" suggests that the singer is still hopeful and believes that something can be done to prevent further destruction, but the sense of urgency is palpable.
The second stanza has more violent imagery, with moonlight feeding flames that will burn the listener. The lyrics mention voices calling out names and mental monsters, adding to the sense of chaos and danger. The eternal flame suggests that this is an ongoing cycle of destruction, one that can't be stopped easily.
Overall, the song's lyrics are haunting and powerful, evoking a sense of despair and hopelessness. The singer seems to be observing the destruction around them, unable to prevent it, but still holding onto a glimmer of hope. The song may be interpreted as a commentary on the destructive nature of humanity and the need for change before it's too late.
