LYRICS
[Verse 1]
I know that I can't have it all
But without you I am afraid I'll fall
I know I’m playing with your heart
And I could treat you better but I'm not that smart
When it comes to love, you’re an easy fight
A flower in a gun, a bird in flight
It isn't fair and it isn’t right
To lead you on like it’s all alright
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I played with your heart
And I could treat you better but I'm not that smart
You still mean everything to me, to me
But I wanna be free
[Chorus]
I'll ruin, yeah I'll ruin you (I'll ruin)
I've been doing things I shouldn't do (things I shouldn't do)
Yeah, yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
[Verse 2]
It’s difficult to move on
When nothing was right and nothing’s wrong
You still can't look me in the eye
Cause you've been bitten once and now you're twice as shy
I've had my share of beautiful men
But I'm still young and I want to love again
It’s difficult to say goodbye
And easier to live a lover’s lie
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I've tried to say
Babe, I'm gonna ruin you if you let me stay
You still mean everything to me, to me
But I wanna be free
[Chorus]
I'll ruin, yeah I'll ruin you (I'll ruin)
I've been doing things I shouldn't do (things I shouldn't do)
Yeah, yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
[Bridge]
It doesn't feel right and it doesn't feel fair
When I’m planning to move on and you're still standing there
Don’t wanna keep a secret but I don't know how to keep it fair, yeah
[Chorus Variation]
I'll ruin, yeah I'll ruin you (I'll ruin)
I've been doing things I shouldn't do (things I shouldn't do)
But I don’t wanna say goodbye (goodbye)
But baby I don’t wanna lie
To lie, to lie to you
I’m a ruin
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah

[@rightwerk]

People who say "why isn't Marina famous" annoy me. She is famous. She has her own little fan base. She's not COMMERCIALLY famous (in the US at least), I'll give you that. But I think you'd be surprised. The other day, I'm A Ruin was #2 on iTunes. That's all of her fans buying the song.

[@sandraidk8474]

AMEN🙏

[@auroraande13]

..

[@audreyxatomic]

Well, I think she was kind of "big" briefly when Electra Heart came out, she attracted a lot of teenage fangirls with that album.. But I don't think she will care that some of them have been weeded out by now. Obviously Marina IS famous, but I like that she's not a mega star. If she wanted to be a huge star, I'm sure she would be.

[@CitizenofChromatica]

I am just happy that she's underrated. That makes her special and only people who understand the meaning of her songs love her songs.

[@audreyxatomic]

SupremeHeaux lol plus makes it easier if you want to buy concert tickets XD

[@CelestialDraconis]

Am I the only one that absolutely loves that gold "glitter" in the caruncle of her eye? It's so strangely attractive, she looks like a greek goddess or something.

[@sheila6186]

No, I absolutely love that gold glitter in the caruncle of her eye too! :-) I have attempted to recreate that look on my own eyes many times. I fucking love it.

[@rtchuu]

Celestial Dragon “Greek gold rush” am I right?

[@blessmeachoo6233]

what makes it better is that she is greek

[@Han-ez7pd]

She IS a greek goddess

[@RhiannTaylor]

Lmao caruncle that’s a sick word

[@demiboyjake6369]

i like how most singers play the victim in songs like this, yet marina is different; she takes the role of the offending, not the offended.

[@herttamatildaaa5051]

And it makes the song even more relatable. This is truly a masterpiece

[@victorkendyaogakidonascime9779]

If you pay attention to other music of hers, she plays both roles, like, Lies she is the offended and in I'm A Ruin she is the one that offends.

[@gustavosaggese525]

@@victorkendyaogakidonascime9779 Yes! That's what I've always thought.

[@zoltan_takacs]

As someone who recently broke up with his bf I really appreciate music that’s from the dumper’s perspective. We (dumpers) are going through some shit before pulling the plug and after too. So it’s nice to see that I’m not alone when having mixed feelings ending a relationship that had no future.

[@CTH9821]

this song slowly became one of my all time favourites. it carries so much emotion and really strikes a chord with me. not ashamed to admit i've cried to this song.

[@viviandarkbloom4248]

I'm actually crying while writing this comment

[@sppbunkown8262]

[@almadaao]

Martin i feel yoy :')

[@StrongImaginationA]

I immediately liked this song, but it's amazing how it becomes evenmore powerful over the years. The album as a whole had to grow on me though. It's a lot, you know? Not in a bad way, but every song is very laden with emotion and it takes a while to wrap my head around it.

[@luizalopes6357]

Martin its Just so nostalgic and new wave ar the same time ♡

[@jonbehere]

It really fascinates me how Marina isn't 'huge', you know? Like she has solid talent, song writing and an actual personality. It's so interesting. There's something about her that doesn't quite fit into the mould. Is she alternative-pop? I dunno. She's so great.

[@jonbehere]

Actually I've probably just answered my own musings, in that commercial success equals very different things? Though that's not saying the musical giants don't have any of the above. Hmm.

[@rawrimmakitteh1446]

Probably because she's independent and makes music that inspires her and really takes time to cultivate her craft instead of producing crappy songs that get stuck in your head while prancing around provocatively for attention.

[@emmahagerty5919]

jonbehere I completely agree. These pop songs are just stupid lyrics and auto tune. Yes she may use auto tune but it's not overwhelming. I wish smaller bands like this and Regan and Sarah (and more) could be popular without being completely exploited to pop and fame and snottiness

[@WoodRatGirl]

It's sad manufactured world still. I agree #jonbehere

[@tootleturtle1511]

People complaining about her 'cheap' 'crappy' videos are totally wrong; instead of creating high budget videos which just look fake, Marina is embracing the visual side of music - the beauty of moving with the beat, lighting that matches the song and silks flowing in time with the song. If you need a scripted video with a story for every song, you can't be appreciating the music fully. All her videos have something to do with their songs - even if they don't 'explain' them in full detail. In the end, its the song that counts, not the video.

[@lonniegabbie]

People who hate it because they don't get it aren't that smart. +Tootle Turtle

[@Holocat999]

The reality is that they don't have (or they don't wanna put) money in music videos anymore... You gotta be creative instead! I agree with people who find old Marina's videos better than the Froot ones, but we haven't seen all of them yet, and I'm glad she's doing videos for almost all of her songs so...

[@Sampsonay]

I hate those artificial looking, scripted music videos that seem to be every where now a days. Marina does a very good job staying away from falling in that category, but that doesnt mean she is perfect either. I love how she doesnt have to strip down of her clothes or shake her bump to attract people's attention. I love how she can entertain us by just being herself on screen, using her own artistic vision and not the one set by the today's low standard society. But im going to be honest, most of her FROOT music videos have felt like the same thing over and over again. I see her either posing or waving her arms around while singing to the camera. It's pretty to watch and all but i feel like the visuals just are not as rich and unique to the eyes as the sound is to the ears. The music videos for Oh No and Primadonna were just absolutely stunning to watch, they both grabbed my attention within the first few seconds and it stayed that way till the very end. I know making a music video isnt exactly a piece of cake, but i just hope we get another Primadonna or Oh No for this album :D

[@tadeufranca9353]

Disagreed.

[@cbaxtianful]

This is the way you drag the basics, pretty good.

[@annsolito]

A fact that nobody ever mentioned: Marina is, besides from her other outstanding talents, an amazing dancer. There is not so much explicit movement here but she definitely feels the music with every fibre of her body. It's also visible on her other videos.

[@zariaa6260]

annsolito true!! I think I read somewhere she went to dance school.

[@dgk6661]

Has anyone played the Froot album on repeat during a road trip. I did it and to be honest it made my trip more memorable for me.

[@lo4029]

Froot makes everything more memorable because of how beautiful it is

[@unshaveddave1775]

I've listened to it for about a year basically day by day and it was awesome. Made me happier. BUT I WANT "IM NOT HUNGRY ANYMORE" TO BE RELEASED SO IM UNGRY DUHHH

Also, those of you complaining about the camera quality, what kind of shit phone are you watching from? I'm watching from my damn TV and it still looks great.

[@lonniegabbie]

Someone complained that they hated this video because they don't like jellyfish. I'm actually questioning humanity right now. xD Those jellyfish and just the visuals in general looked so fucking beautiful, I just watched it from my tv too, it looks amazing.

she's pretty popular in the UK. But yes you are partly right. But she inhabits a different universe from many mainstream pop acts.

[@vincentescolano2578]

I hear her on the American radio she also plays a lot in the mall.

[@scarredxangel]

Keith Bate I've not heard her on the radio since Primadonna. She's completely underrated. She's so much better than today's "mainstream" artists.

[@keithbate9405]

Cece Cheung She played at Loolapoolza in Brazil recently and went down a storm. Wonderful live version of my fav track ever by her "I'm a ruin" Think she is building a world wide fan base. But she will never be as popular as the Katie/Gaga crowd

[@R0ndras]

Keith Bate because she doesn't promote herself with stupid stuff like strange costumes and bad behavior. People want that now, not her.

[@raffishizing]

And They say she sings like a dork. And sometimes she does. But even granting Them their point, she's the best dork to happen to pop music in at least 20 years.

[@jessicav5989]

I was 15 when this came out and I remember listening to it religiously with little to no thought about what her lyrics meant. Fast forward 5 years and I'm 20 now. I understand every single word. I have loved. I have cheated. I have lost. I have had my share of beautiful men. I have done THINGS I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE. I AM A RUIN but the beauty about MARINA is that she shows you it's okay to be a ruin. We're not perfect. We are young and stupid. MARINA found the exact words I was looking for but was too afraid to say them myself. I was hurting him and I knew it but it was just so much easier playing this lovebird facade than walking away. He left me, he was much tougher than I was and although it was hard, it was the best thing that could've happened to me. If you TRULY LOVE someone, never do anything to hurt them. Karma will get you. I learnt the hard way.

[@olympiaelda1121]

But did you truly love them than? If you truly love it is never too late. You can be melancholic about the chances lost or build up yourself and take a chance on love again.

[@chelzyramirez3663]

THANK YOUUUU

UGH THIS SONG MAKES ME EMOTIONAL!

[@dannyk7226]

vulnerable, raw, poetic

[@JamesHaroulakis]

I'm proud to be a diamond. Because Marina is awesome, and her fan base can actually brush negativity off and thus aren't easily provoked by random hate. Also, diamonds can understand the difference between an informed a opinion and hate, and respond accordingly. Thus, diamonds are one of the classiest fan bases.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@yeshuaolguin4441]

I remember coming back from the grocery store & this song came out, i was in a (what i thought) great relationship.. I had called my boyfriend at the time and told him to give it a listen, at the time he & i were having problems & once he heard the song he completely broke down and had apologized to me for everything he'd done to me, and he promised me he would change for the better, he ended up leaving me a week later. He was & I believe still is, the love of my life, i don't know if he'll ever come back to this video and maybe catch my comments, but i'm sorry for anything i've done to you Chris. I love you.

Happy 8 years old I'm a ruin and FROOT. ❤🎉 I MISS this era. Album roll out was fantastic, music was one of a kind.

[@genesis.6679]

crying to this song because my boyfriend is a wonderful man, yet I don't think I can giving into the love I used to feel for him anymore. And i feel so guilty because I'm trying to elongate the relationship to see if I start feeling love again but deep down I know that this is not going to work out and I'm scared to break his heart because he loves me so much

[@isabelgalicia3207]

This song represents me a lot, I had to break with my irish boyfriend (we were together for 7 years, starting age 19) I was falling apart to a point of no return, we both suffered a lot, maybe he did suffer more than myself :( (its always being said that the person that doesnt expect the break suffers more). He meant a lot to me then, he still means a lot to me, but its a different kind of love/affection. Dont be afraid of choosing what your heart tells you to do. Sometimes relationships can be saved but sometimes don't

[@zoltan_takacs]

Girl, I’m going through the same. But I already made up my mind and decided to end it. Feel shit atm so tell me how do feel 6 months in?

"I'll ruin you" is the hottest pick-up line ever tbh

[@jeppisrockcity]

Simply genius! Pop music at is best. Marina is up among the big pop divas

[@ilovemygps]

Marina is love. Marina is life.

[@angel23824]

This video is like a mix of Frozen by Madonna & Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush and I love it.

[@Kkatss]

Kate Bush is so important

[@xyxytxv]

this video was inspired on Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush and Frozen by Madonna, two legends and amazing artists as well, Marina is following their paths, I'm so proud! 💎👑

[@feji7994]

Thank u..u have sense

[@arielmagne5713]

Con razón me recuerda la canción Frozen, mi tema favorito de Madona, y esta de Marina

[@silviaspatola8295]

Great voice. And not to mention, how beautiful she is

[@ladyrapunzilla1143]

There are no naked girls, no fast cars, no swimming pools. HOW DOES THIS VIDEO WORK?! I love it!

[@nikk345]

Finally got to see Marina live. When she did this song she prolonged the "Yeahh, yeahhh, Ahh Ahh, yeaahh yeahhh, oooh oooh" part and got the audience to keep repeating it. Was class.

[@camilocatanoagudelo5095]

This song is very significant for me, since I was going through a moment of loneliness and despair and that's when I met the song, I already liked songs from Marina, I'm not a robot, shampain, valley of de dolls, froot, but I loved this song since I heard it, and since then it reminds me of a bad moment in my life but I overcame it and “I'm the ruin” accompanied me in my loneliness and while I was supposing that bad moment, that's why it brings me so good memories and I LOVE it , thanks MARINA!

[@BrendaMelissa]

I FUCKING LOVE HER STYLE. EVERYTHING ABOUT HER IS JUST TOO UGH! I LOVE HER 😢😢

[@8BitDylan]

Dear lord. I hope to some day be as amazing as Marina. This was such a beautiful music video!

[@TheMadonnaTours]

love it

[@playmobil48]

very frozen-ish isnt it?

[@somrazy3]

playmobil48 yes but good unlike lady gogooa copying attempts

[@xaethan777]

somrazy3 why so much hate on gaga? she loves madonna why you can't see it

[@Milovetic]

***** HAHAHAHA She loves Madonna and then gets all passive-aggressive when it comes to anything M-related. I know M is not precisely a gold coin and has bashed her for a while, but when she tried to make up for it everything Gaga did was get mad and ignore M's attempts pretending she was mocking her. Ultimately, Gaga must love Madonna or at least appreaciate her in some form since she finds lots of inspiration in her. I just like how Gaga is becoming a more mature artist and I feel like she's doing something on her own recently and not relying that much on publicity stunts, scandals and 'homaging' other artists.

[@xaethan777]

you're so wrong that you feel you're right

[@SaBiNuKi]

Somehow she reminds me of Kate Bush in this song. Can’t stop listening to her voice. So colorful and full of great energy ❤

[@AlexFroot]

I've been a marina fan since start of her career. but u know what this video reminds me of madonna's Frozen Music Video

[@DancewithSHINee]

Omg I love how simple yet symbolic the videos are *~* Well done, Marina♥

[@javythebest1]

One of her best songs ever. I really love this.

[@jimjam8323]

Criminally underrated song

[@stephc4114]

Missed this song. Beautiful💔

[@Maryan_002]

This song hits hard

[@guzlew2714]

Te amo Marina! Gracias por venir a Argentina!!

[@katydoherty7733]

Marina's videos are NOT boring. I think this was really cool and interesting to watch, and it went really well with the song. I also think it's fitting because Marina has a very unique sound, so her videos should be unique as well. Just because her songs are different doesn't mean they're bad; in fact, they're amazing. So why are people saying that a video without a "story" is bad? It's cool and unique, and I love how the video just follows the song's story, while most big artists today have songs that just go along with their videos.

[@caitlinthain6268]
