Ruin
Wesenwille Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here it stands in utter denial
Stranded where opinion trumped fact
Lost amongst the ruins
Where all hope was abandoned

It collectively celebrated
Those who proved least competent
Degenerates in adoration of being force-fed

With cravings for quantity over quality

Why adopt the burden of another,
When one might bathe in profusion?
Why end this lineage,
If continuance bears such gratification?

An ever-waltzing marriage of illiterate minds
Dancing in dissonance, flowing with rhythm nor melody

Passing down an ancient message
Its content shred with every passing cycle

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Wesenwille's song "Ruin" delve into the themes of denial, incompetence, and the degradation of quality in society. The opening lines speak to the state of denial, where people are standing and refusing to acknowledge the truth. This denial is fueled by the prioritization of opinion over fact, resulting in a situation where hope is abandoned and ruins prevail.

The following lines bring attention to a collective celebration of those who are least competent. It criticizes a culture that glorifies individuals who are force-fed with shallow and materialistic desires, valuing quantity over quality. The lyrics question why someone would choose to burden themselves with someone else's problems when they could instead indulge in excess. This leads to a reflection on the continuance of a lineage, suggesting that the pursuit of gratification may overshadow the importance of ending a cycle that perpetuates negativity and degradation.

The final lines describe a society characterized by illiterate minds, dancing out of sync with each other, lacking harmony and melody. It implies that an ancient message, perhaps one of wisdom or enlightenment, is being passed down through generations but is constantly getting diluted and losing its essence with each passing cycle.

Overall, "Ruin" criticizes the state of society where denial, incompetence, and the pursuit of quantity over quality have created a culture of shallow gratification and lost wisdom.
