Gary Numan - 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 a darkness
My name is Ruin, my name is evil
My name's a war song, I'll 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, a sorrow in darkness
I'll show you Ruin, I'll show you evil
I'll sing you a war song, I'll sing you a new war
I'll show you Ruin, I'll show you broken
I'll show you shameless, I'll tear your world open

    Gary Numan, like David Bowie and very few others, remains relevant because he keeps reinventing himself. Although the influence from his collaborations with Trent Reznor are evident, he pulls it off without sounding like he's merely copying.

  21. B.... l....

    Freakin 🔥 of a song.

  22. Z.... w....

    This tune has more levels than a multi storey car park!!!!

  23. M.... P....

    We Are One

    In the deep blue oceans
    Monsters sleep

    On the moon
    Birds live
    That have died to soon

    You have mistaken
    Your reflection for you

    People see the cover
    Don’t know the other

    Seeing with half an eye
    We live
    To die

    When people tell the truth
    They lie

    In less than a year
    The hard drive is full
    We become the tool

    They tell you that Jesus died
    For you
    But wasn’t he killed
    By those who rule

    Never a crime what they do
    But what you do
    They guilt you
    Till your black and blue

    But there’s another world
    Its true
    For me and you
    I’ve been there
    Its all new
    The past be gone
    There is no wrong
    Jesus is there
    Together they sing a song
    Altogether
    We are one

    If they ever make the Mistborn Trilogy novels into a movie, I would highly recommend this song to be the theme for it.

    Muito boa música. A batida é boa. Muitos artistas ficam presos no passado e não se atualizam. Você não !! Muito bom. Parabéns!! Ainda mais sua fã!!

  45. G.... C....

    In 1979, at the age of 25, I became a lecturer at West Sussex Ccllege of Design. My memory of that time was that there was a completely obsessive band of 'lookalike' Gary Numan students who carried cassette recorders that played 'Cars' etc as they moved as one around campus. Today, for some reason, I decided I would see what the leader of Tubeway Army was up to. 'My Name is Ruin' was my first second and third play. It's better than the first wave of GN in my view AND absolutely contemporary/NOW in sound and feel. Hats off to Gary Numan for evolving and staying relevant!

  46. s.... m....

    the future of is daughter is traced... (musique / song... )

  47. s.... ....

    I looked up the song cars on spotify and then checked out his discography and saw so many albums! I was curious about what his newer (2000 and up) stuff would sound like and it blew me away! I'm a HUGE NIN fan and feel silly that I barely knew Gary at all. Actually that's an understatement. I knew 2 songs of his and didn't even know his name until 2 days ago!!!!!

  48. A.... G....

    I'm back listening to this again - there's still nothing out there to match this man's style and presence.

  49. L.... P....

    As the Moshiach ben Yosef who has already ignited the Wars of Gog v Magog, one could say "my name is ruin." THE TIME IS NOW. THE FINAL DELIVERANCE OF ERETZ ISRAEL AND THE REDEMPTION OF THE JEWISH KEHILLAT (COMMUNITIES WORLDWIDE) HAS ARRIVED. I PRECEDE THE TRUE MOSHIACH BEN DAVID, WHOM I INTRODUCE WITHIN THE SACRED PRECINCTS OF THE CITY OF DAVID, JERUSALEM. IN THE MEANTIME, "I SING A NEW WAR..."

  50. J.... G....

    Great track haunting and mysterious gary at his best this track rocks and great vocals by persia

  51. J.... E....

    Been a fan since 79, Gary just keeps producing the best stuff. Love it and as said here elsewhere it's a shame that real creators like him rarely get a mention on TV or radio. The man's a national treasure.

  52. M.... B....

    Only one word: GREAT!!! Thank you for your inspiring Music! I love you , Gary <3<3<3 ;-D

  53. J.... ....

    "Let the three horns dissolve and the little horn rise!" "the time is here! \o/ "

  54. J.... ....

    In The District Of Columbia we got a saying "God judges our enemies, WE arrange the meeting!"

  55. J.... ....

    "2/3rds are his enemies almost everyone you see. they will all betray us just wait" "and i will wait for the day burning like an oven where all evil doers and all causes of sin melt in his wrath" "i will join the fallen angels and wipe out the 2/3rds i will get my revenge again and again"

  56. M.... P....

    When The Sun Rise


    Evil bee steals pollen from a flower
    or maybe
    it supposed to


    Cactus has needles
    Rose has thorns
    A bull has horns
    Flesh is torn


    Rain storm
    Ice storm
    Hail storm
    Wind storm
    Normal
    Is a storm


    Green eyes
    Blue skies
    We all hide
    Behind a disguise
    One day
    The sun will rise
    It will be the death
    of all lies

  59. J.... ....

    "i travel the world with a heartache of stone you never see me cus i'm always alone" - ministry - O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! matt 23:37

    I'm a huge fan of yours, Gary, and veteran (back to the first game) Fallout player. Please know that it's a compliment from me when I say that your song and video make me think of happy times playing Fallout New Vegas. Persia is a lovely girl and has a beautiful voice.

    The Iraqi mobile units are about to go truly mobile...as good Shiites maybe they could hammer out a grand alliance with the Sunnis to pursue an age old dream against a common enemy, or OBJECTIVE. "I'LL SHOW YOU VENGEANCE...I'LL SING YOU A NEW WAR..."

  75. L.... P....

    The Iraqi Shiite Mobile Units are about to strike hard. ..against ISRAEL and there IS nothing Russia can do about it....Perhaps the Shiite mobile units will be stopped by the entrenched SUNNI ISIS...OR ITS NEW MANIFESTATION..."I'LL SHOW YOU VENGEANCE. I'LL SING YOU A NEW SONG. I'LL SING YOU A NEW WAR..."

    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 beg forgiveness, they knew
    When I beg for mercy, they knew
    When I beg 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, no one is calling
    My name is ruin, my name is heartbreak
    My name is loving, but sorrows and darkness
    My name is ruin, my name is evil
    My name's a war song, I sing you a new one
    My name is ruin, my name is broken
    My name is shameless, I'll tear you wide 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 loving, and 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

    The kaleidoscope landscape shots are super bad ass and I love it, the song isn't that bad either, but the faux military high fashion tactical look is poser as fuck and needs to not be a thing...

    J.... ....

    Its exactly like mad max in a way🤔

  91. R.... b....

    Genius man. He keeps getting better and better as time goes on!

  92. J.... M....

    How does he still look so young? Ahhh yes virgin blood

  93. p.... v....

    basically copying NIN.

    p.... v....

    The other way around...Gary was putting music out when Trent was still on the nipple!

    p.... v....

    lmao imagine thinking Gary Numan was copying NIN. I'm sure they bounce ideas off of one another occasionally tho.

  94. J.... M....

    Poor girl, she is not quite sure what this is. Having a daddy that goes into a strange dark mode to be able to create/destroy

    J.... M....

    Do us all a favour & go eat your own head.

    J.... M....

    Haha what are you 78 years old? Get off the internet Janne fossil

  95. H.... B....

    This is so Nine Inch Nails like, does Reznor have something to do with it?

  96. R.... ....

    Hmm...getting a little Mortiis vibes from this =)
