Ruined
Poema Arcanus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is the same story every night
Your body demands its dose
A dose paid by your work
All your money is transformed
In junks , alcohol and drugs
But you need so fucking more
Chorus :
Selling your body and brain
Stealing to your best friends
You're a slave of this shit
A puppet in a circle of decay
Now your friends have gone
Leaving you alone and poor
This that begun like a game
Is now the controller of your pain
The lyrics of Poema Arcanus's song "Ruined" tackle the issue of addiction and how it takes control over one's life. The singer starts by painting a picture of someone who has lost control of their mind, and this happens every night. Their body craves a drug, which they can only pay for by working hard. However, they use all their hard-earned money to buy drugs and alcohol. They need more and more of it because they are ruined to the core.
The chorus is a stern warning to those who might fall victim to addiction. The singer warns that once someone becomes addicted, they sell their body and brain just to satisfy their cravings. They steal from their best friends and become slaves to their addiction. They are puppets in a circle of decay. In the end, their addiction costs them their friends and leaves them lonely, broke, and in pain. The song serves as a cautionary tale to anyone who might fall victim to addiction.
