The Mary Onettes feat. Maria Usbeck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll keep the world I know
And this is where there I always go
And you wouldn't go there 'cause I was born
In the ruins of love, in the ruins of love
Do you ever fell that pain comeback?
The ghost's we were they call us back
Ruins we share, ruins we share, (keeps my heart awake)
Ruins we share, ruins we share, (slowly we will fade apart)
I wish we had a way to forget
And it's all in the ruins heart
You know we can't hide
It's what my life is all about
Can never say the words I need
But I keep my place inside
You wouldn't go there 'cause I was born
In the ruins of love, in the ruins of love
Ruins we share, ruins we share (keeps my heart awake)
Ruins we share, ruins we share (slowly we will fade apart)
I wish we had a way to forget
That it's all in the ruins heart
Everything is were born to be
It was all about tearing us apart
Everything is were born to be
It was all about tearing us apart
It's the ruins we share
Keeps my heart awake
Keeps my heart awake
It's the ruins we share
The Mary Onettes feat. Maria Usbeck's song "Ruins" explores the aftermath of a devastating romantic relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for what once was and the pain of remembering how things fell apart. The vocalist laments that even though they can't hide, they will continue to drive forward, holding on to the world they know. This world includes the ruins of love – a place where they were born and cannot escape.
The chorus of the song emphasizes this feeling of being trapped in the ruins of love. The ghosts of the past call them back, and although they wish they could forget, it's all in the ruins' heart. The repetition of the phrase "ruins we share" represents the idea that both parties are living with the aftermath of their relationship's destruction. The lyrics also suggest that this shared experience might be what keeps their hearts awake, even though they know that they will slowly fade apart.
Overall, the song's haunting melody and meditative lyrics capture the bittersweet feeling of wanting to move forward while also feeling stuck in the past.
