FEVER
My Ruin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cut myself free
Now I'm somewhere else
I need to be
Wasted with no sleep
Forgot to pray Jesus
Can you hear me?
Nails keep pounding
Of what my questions left
And as I drown your mouth in red
You fear what I will ask next
I violate your faith
And wonder what you really taste like
Feel the sensation of depth
I lied
[Chorus]
Can't help me now
It's under my skin
Nowhere to go
But I can't give in
Can't help me now
I'm bleeding within
Nowhere to go
I'll never let you in
I have a fear of dying
I could
I could worship you
Make you behave
I'd tell
Tell you anything
Just to be saved
Baby, how's your faith these days
Do you feel safe?
Kiss me
Sunlight makes us sick
As nails keep pounding
You warp your legs around my mind
Ten times and hide in me
The darker that it gets outside
Your heats a 1000 degrees
I make you swallow spit
You're sick with it
You're sick from me
Don't say I didn't warn you
I tried
Can't help me now
It's under my skin
Nowhere to run
But I won't give in
Can't help me now
I'm bleeding within
Nowhere to go
I'll never ever give in
What god created me? (your god)
What god created us? (your god)
What god created this? thing called lust?
Your god created me? what god?)
Your god created us? (what god?)
Your god created fuck, your god!
Can't help me now
Its under my skin
Nowhere to go
But I won't give in
Can't help me now
I'm bleeding within
Nowhere to go
I'll never ever give in
I won't let you in
Won't let you in (let me in)
Won't let you in (let me in)
God won't let you
The song “Fever” by My Ruin is a powerful, intense rock song with dark, explicit lyrics that explore themes of self-destruction, lust, and unorthodox spirituality. The opening lines suggest a sense of self-harm as the singer announces their intention to cut themselves free, to go to a place they need to be. The following lines paint a chaotic picture of wasted nights, forgotten prayers, and pounding nails, imbuing the song with an apocalyptic, almost biblical feel. The lyrics suggest a sense of disillusionment with religion and traditional morality, as the singer appears to take pleasure in violating others’ faith, questioning their beliefs, and exploring their physical boundaries. The chorus emphasizes the theme of self-inflicted pain and the inability to escape it, suggesting that the only way out is to never let anyone in.
One of the most striking aspects of “Fever” is its raw, visceral language, which combines religious imagery, sexual innuendo, and violent metaphors to create a disturbing, almost hallucinatory effect. The use of repetition, particularly in the chorus, reinforces the sense of trapped, obsessive madness that characterizes the singer’s emotional state. The song’s sparse, heavy instrumentation, especially the pounding drums and distorted guitar riffs, complements the lyrics’ sense of urgency and despair, creating a sonic landscape that is at once chaotic and tightly controlled.
Overall, “Fever” is a haunting, disturbing song that explores the darker sides of human experience. Its lyrics and music paint a picture of a world teetering on the brink of collapse, where faith has lost its power and people are left to navigate their own darkness without hope of redemption.
Line by Line Meaning
I think I'll cut myself
I'm going to cut ties with my current situation
Cut myself free
I'm freeing myself from the restraints of this harmful environment
Now I'm somewhere else
I've found a new place to be, mentally and physically
I need to be
I require this new environment to thrive and survive
Wasted with no sleep
I'm exhausted from being in this unproductive and damaging place
Forgot to pray Jesus
I'm not reliant on religion to solve my problems
Can you hear me?
I'm opening up and reaching out for support and guidance
Nails keep pounding
The repetitive and painful experiences continue
You push your fingers into holes
You're trying to fill the gaps and answer the questions I have
Of what my questions left
Of the gaps and uncertainties that I have not yet resolved
And as I drown your mouth in red
As you offer me blood in a desperate attempt to satisfy me
You fear what I will ask next
You're afraid that I'll ask something that you won't be able to answer
I violate your faith
I challenge and question your beliefs and values
And wonder what you really taste like
I'm curious about your true intentions and motives
Feel the sensation of depth
I'm experiencing a profound understanding and realization
I lied
I wasn't being completely honest with you
[Chorus]
Refrain from the previous lyrics
Can't help me now
I'm beyond help and support
It's under my skin
This situation has become an integral part of me
Nowhere to go
There is no escape from this situation
But I can't give in
I refuse to surrender to the negativity
I'm bleeding within
I'm suffering internally
I'll never let you in
I won't allow you to cause me more harm
I have a fear of dying
I'm afraid of being consumed or overwhelmed by this situation
I could
I'm capable of giving in or surrendering
I could worship you
I could submit to your will and beliefs
Make you behave
I could control and manipulate you
I'd tell
I would say anything to accomplish my goals
Tell you anything
I would lie or manipulate you to get what I want
Just to be saved
In order to escape from this harmful situation
Baby, how's your faith these days
I'm curious about your beliefs and values
Do you feel safe?
Do you feel secure and confident in this situation?
Kiss me
I want to form a connection with you
Sunlight makes us sick
The brightness of the outside world is painful and overwhelming
As nails keep pounding
The negative experiences continue
You warp your legs around my mind
You're trying to influence and control my thoughts and actions
Ten times and hide in me
Recurring and persistent influence trying to take over my personality
The darker that it gets outside
The more negative and hostile the environment becomes
Your heats a 1000 degrees
Your intensity is overwhelming and stifling
I make you swallow spit
I make you nauseous and uncomfortable
You're sick with it
You're negatively affected by this situation
You're sick from me
You're negatively affected by my presence in this situation
Don't say I didn't warn you
I had forewarned of the possible negative consequences
I tried
I had attempted to change the outcome
What god created me? (your god)
I'm questioning the existence and nature of a higher power
What god created us? (your god)
I'm questioning the divine creation of humanity
What god created this? thing called lust?
I'm questioning the morality and origins of the human desire for pleasure
Your god created me? what god?)
I'm questioning the existence and nature of a higher power
Your god created us? (what god?)
I'm questioning the divine creation of humanity
Your god created fuck, your god!
I'm rejecting and rebelling against the conventional beliefs and values of society
I won't let you in
I'm refusing to allow you to affect me
Won't let you in (let me in)
I'm afraid of being vulnerable and exposed
Won't let you in (let me in)
I'm afraid of being consumed or harmed by you
God won't let you
There is a higher power that will protect me from harm
