Song Description
'Among the Ruins' is a piano-driven song that evokes a sense of melancholic beauty and introspection. It explores themes of loss, survival, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit amidst desolation, blending elegant melodies with moments of dramatic intensity. Delicate piano motifs echo the fragments of something once whole, gradually building into a sweeping, emotional climax that feels both intimate and epic, as undertones of melodica and oboe fill out the track's sonic landscape. For anyone navigating the aftermath of personal storms, 'Among the Ruins' is a journey through what remains when everything else falls away.

Lyrics
We're no one's monkeys
We're no one's junkies
We are the light among the ruins
We are the weirdos
You keep the kudos
The dust has settled among the ruins
We are the animals
The verdict's unanimous
Our life's officially in ruins
Come on, you freaks
Come on, you geeks
Today we're rising from the ruins
So here we are and we're back for good
And there's no one out there to let us be misunderstood
And you're still away but we're wide awake
And there's nothing left for you to break
We are so faulty
That we are perfect
Just like true love among the ruins
We are such losers
That we're the winners
When nothing's left among the ruins
We refused to be used
Got abused by our muse
Till she made us her amusers
We got left behind
But never lost our mind
Contrary to the rumours
So here we are and we're back for good
And there's no one out there to let us be misunderstood
And you're still away but we're wide awake
And there's nothing left for you to break
You to break
You came and went, we got away with it
You left a mess, we got away with it
You raised hell, we got away with it
Oh, you left us scars, we got away with it
Now here we are and we're back for good
And there's no one out there to let us be misunderstood
And you're still away but we're wide awake
And there's nothing left for you to break
For you to break
We're the outsiders
A bunch of spiders
That spin their web among the ruins
And we are rising
We are surprising
We live the life you never ruined
