My Ruin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
DROWN YOUSELF IN ABSOLUTION
To excuse YOUR SINS
NOWADAYS it's easy to be swayed

POST NOISE REVOLUTION
Is there no solution?

The song "Post Noise Revelation" by My Ruin is a critique of the music industry and society's obsession with fame, money, and consumerism. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration with people who constantly seek new religions, beliefs, or trends to follow without questioning their own actions and morals. The band accuses the media of promoting a culture of superficiality and exploitation where videos cost millions of dollars and degrade women for the sake of entertainment. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "post noise revelation" to emphasize the idea of a wake-up call to the postmodern era's shallowness and lack of values. The singer asks if there is any solution to this problem or if it is too late to change the tide of corruption and madness.
The song's message resonates with the genre of post-noise or post-hardcore, which emerged in the 1990s as a reaction to the mainstream pop and rock music of the time. My Ruin was part of this movement, which emphasized the rawness, intensity, and experimentation of music as a form of expression and rebellion. The song also reflects the band's feminist and anti-establishment stance, as they criticize the media for perpetuating sexist and racist stereotypes and profiting from the exploitation of young people. In this sense, "Post Noise Revelation" is not only a song about music but also a social and political statement that challenges the status quo.
