How to navigate disaster
Sweetheart, come undone
I'm handing you the dagger

The lyrics to Ruby Haunt's song Destroyer use the metaphor of handing someone a dagger in order to confront a disaster or overwhelming issue. The singer admits that this is something they themselves could never confront, therefore, they are entrusting the task to their partner. The use of the word "sweetheart" adds a personal and intimate touch to the lyrics, and the repetition of the word "destroyer" in the chorus emphasizes the weight and gravity of the task at hand.
The instrumental break after the first verse provides a poignant moment for reflection on the lyrics, before the repeated calls of "destroyer" pick up the pace and intensity of the song again. The use of a simple, repetitive chorus communicates a sense of urgency and intensity in the situation being addressed.
The lyrics to Destroyer could be interpreted in various ways depending on the listener's personal experiences and worldviews. It could be seen as a call to action in the face of adversity, an admission of vulnerability and reliance on a loved one, or a metaphorical exploration of the destructive power of love.
