Abandoned Pools - Ruin Your Life

"Ruin Your Life" by Abandoned Pools from the album "Humanistic," out now
www.amazon.com/Humanistic-Aban...
Lyrics:
Time to give it up
No one needs this any day
Your life's a half-filled cup
You'd never drink from anyway
Well I say
And if you want me to, I'd love to ruin your life
There's nothing else to do
Start a new
Ruin your life
Time to light the fuse
And watch your whole world come undone
Chaos soon ensues
Blow it all to kingdom come
Nice one
And if you want me to, I'd love to ruin your life
There's nothing else to do
Start a new
Ruin your life
Say goodbye
Day after day you never ever crack a smile
You know it's easier to die
It's up to you
And if you want me to, I'd love to ruin your life
There's nothing else to do
Start a new
Ruin your life
And if you want me to, I'd love to ruin your life
There's nothing else to do
Start a new
Ruin your life

This one was also tricky but I think it explores themes of dissatisfaction, self-destruction, and the desire for change. The lyrics depict a sense of resignation and hopelessness, with lines like "No one needs this any day" and "Your life's a half-filled cup / You'd never drink from anyway." This suggests a feeling of being stuck in a rut or trapped in a life that lacks fulfillment.
The chorus, "And if you want me to, I'd love to ruin your life," is intriguing as it portrays a willingness to embrace chaos and disruption as a means of breaking free from monotony or unhappiness. This could suggest a longing for change, even if it comes at the cost of upheaval or destruction.
The verses further emphasize this theme, with lines like "Time to light the fuse / And let your whole world come undone" and "Blow it all to kingdom come." These images evoke a sense of recklessness and abandon, as the protagonist considers the idea of dismantling their current life in search of something new.
The bridge section introduces a sense of resignation, acknowledging the difficulty of finding joy or satisfaction in life. Lines like "Day after day you never ever crack a smile" highlight the monotony and emptiness that the protagonist feels, suggesting that they may feel powerless to change their circumstances.
Essentially I think it offers a poignant exploration of the desire for change, even if it means embracing chaos and uncertainty. It captures the frustration of feeling trapped in a life that lacks meaning or fulfillment, and the longing for something new, even if it comes with its own challenges and consequences.
Or maybe it's about suicide, with the protagonist fed up with their meaningless life and wanting to "Start anew" by killing himself.
