My Name Is Ruin Lyrics
When they called me broken, I knew
When they called me evil, I knew
When they called me ruin, I knew
I would always find my way to you
When I begged forgiveness, they knew
When I begged for mercy, they knew
When I begged for nothing, they knew
I would always find my way to you
My name is ruin, my name is vengeance
My name is no one, and no one is calling
My name is ruin, my name is heartbreak
My name is lonely, my sorrow's darkness
My name is ruin, my name is evil
My name's a war song, I sing you a new war
My name is ruin, my name is broken
My name is shameless, I'll tear your world open
When I called you poison, you knew
When I called you shameful, you knew
When I called you a liar, you knew
I would always find my way to you
I'll show you ruin, I'll show you vengeance
I'll show you no one, and no one is calling
I'll show you ruin, I'll show you heartbreak
I'll show you lonely, in sorrow and darkness
I'll show you ruin, I'll show you evil
I'll sing you a war song, I'll sing you a new one
I'll show you ruin, I'll show you broken
I'll show you shameless, I'll tear you wide open
When they called me evil, I knew
When they called me ruin, I knew
I would always find my way to you
When I begged for mercy, they knew
When I begged for nothing, they knew
I would always find my way to you
My name is no one, and no one is calling
My name is ruin, my name is heartbreak
My name is lonely, my sorrow's darkness
My name is ruin, my name is evil
My name's a war song, I sing you a new war
My name is ruin, my name is broken
My name is shameless, I'll tear your world open
When I called you shameful, you knew
When I called you a liar, you knew
I would always find my way to you
I'll show you no one, and no one is calling
I'll show you ruin, I'll show you heartbreak
I'll show you lonely, in sorrow and darkness
I'll show you ruin, I'll show you evil
I'll sing you a war song, I'll sing you a new one
I'll show you ruin, I'll show you broken
I'll show you shameless, I'll tear you wide open

In keeping with the theme of this album (songs from a broken world), I think the "you" in this song is the devil or destroyer of worlds (even God). The singer has realized by his nature that he is drawn to this evil figure.
great song been a long time fan and the last ten years have been his best
This is a very dark song about the intrinsic evil of humanity and the discovery of the darkness that lurks within us all. Finding my way to you is the discovery of (this person) acknowledging his/her depth of evil and then the wonderful promise to unleash it. \nThis could be my new walk out song!! Brilliant.
This is written about relationship toxicity and falling in love with the absolute worst person for you. Its about their eventual betrayal, which was certain, and the Hell of retribution unleashed on them for revenge.......all the while knowing it would end like this.
