Ruin
Pain Confessor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She shines my will to fight
There's an island in my sea of emptiness
She wants to keep me ashored, so I go...
There's a roomful of best intentions
Hopelessly scenting funeral song
It doesn't matter, it's on now
Burning my pain of solitude
I've travelled over the long distance
Far beyond the wounds of dark days
I've screamed the songs of broken hearts
On the verge of rude awakening
This poetry of ruin swaying on
Ripping my guts so violently
I've been waiting for so long
That song to end, kill the white noise in my head
Night and day, my enemies scar me
Now I face my anguish alone
A thousand stings cutting my chest
Guiding my rage against me
There's a poison pillow in my bed
Stealing my dreams away
Lying awake and hating the sleep
It holds me until I drift away
This poetry of ruin swaying on
Ripping my guts so violently
I've been waiting for so long
That song to end, kill the white noise in my head
Night and day, my enemies scar me
Now I face my anguish alone
A thousand stings cutting my chest
Guiding my rage against me
Night and day, my enemies scar me
Now I fight my anguish alone
A thousand stings cutting my chest
Guiding my rage against me
A thousand stings cutting my chest
Now I face my ruin alone
The song "Ruin" by Pain Confessor talks about the struggles of a person who is going through a difficult time in their life. The first stanza addresses the hopelessness that the person feels as they see a 'crimson star' in their sky tonight, which symbolizes the pain that they feel. Even though there is an island in the middle of their sea of emptiness, they end up feeling as though they are isolated and alone. The second stanza talks about how the person has gone through a lot of pain and heartbreak but is still standing. They have screamed about their anguish and the poetry of ruin in their life. The third stanza refers to the person's enemies, who are constantly scarring them, causing them to feel helpless and alone. The fourth stanza talks about a poison pillow that keeps stealing the person's dreams away, leaving them to face their anguish alone.
Overall, the song is a representation of the struggles that people go through when they feel like their world is falling apart, and they are left to deal with it alone. It is a story of someone who is fighting an internal battle, trying to keep their head above water and make sense of the chaos that surrounds them.

There's a crimson star in my sky tonight
A symbol of hope shines in my dark world tonight
She shines my will to fight
That symbol of hope gives me strength to keep going
There's an island in my sea of emptiness
An oasis of comfort exists amid my overwhelming loneliness
She wants to keep me ashored, so I go...
Despite the comfort, I must continue on my journey
There's a roomful of best intentions
People around me try to help, but their efforts are ultimately futile
Hopelessly scenting funeral song
Their attempts are like a perfume on a corpse
It doesn't matter, it's on now
Despite the failure, I must continue to face my pain head-on
Burning my pain of solitude
I must confront the overwhelming pain of loneliness and isolation
I've traveled over the long distance
I have gone far beyond my darkest days
Far beyond the wounds of dark days
I have overcome the scars of my past
I've screamed the songs of broken hearts
I have expressed the pain of those who have been hurt the same way I have
On the verge of rude awakening
Almost ready to accept the harsh reality of my situation
This poetry of ruin swaying on
The destruction and pain I feel is like a piece of art
Ripping my guts so violently
The pain is so intense it feels like it's tearing me apart from the inside out
I've been waiting for so long
I have been suffering for a long time
That song to end, kill the white noise in my head
I long for the pain to stop and for peace to finally come to my mind
Night and day, my enemies scar me
My pain and suffering haunt me constantly
Now I face my anguish alone
I must confront my pain by myself
A thousand stings cutting my chest
The pain I feel is like a thousand sharp needles piercing my heart
Guiding my rage against me
My pain is leading me to be angry at myself and my situation
There's a poison pillow in my bed
Even my rest and sleep are filled with pain and suffering
Stealing my dreams away
My pain is robbing me of hope and aspirations
Lying awake and hating the sleep
I cannot find peace even in my own bed
It holds me until I drift away
Even as I fall asleep, my pain continues to hold onto me
Now I fight my anguish alone
I must battle my pain and struggle by myself
A thousand stings cutting my chest
The pain still pierces at my heart
Guiding my rage against me
My anger and frustration are still directed at myself
Now I face my ruin alone
I must confront the consequences of my pain and move forward alone
