The World We Made

Ruelle's song 'The World We Made' delves into the darker aspects of human nature and the consequences of our actions. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where secrets and visions haunt us, and an 'animal inside' drives our behavior. This metaphorical 'animal' represents our primal instincts and darker desires, suggesting that these elements are an intrinsic part of who we are. Despite the chaos and moral ambiguity, there is a striking lack of regret, indicating a numbness or acceptance of this twisted reality.

The recurring phrase 'It’s in our blood' emphasizes the inescapable nature of these traits. The idea that these characteristics are embedded in our very being suggests a sense of inevitability and permanence. The repetition of 'no escape, can’t outrun' reinforces the notion that we are trapped by our own nature, unable to break free from the cycle of behavior that defines the world we have created. This world is one of power struggles and predatory behavior, as highlighted by the lines 'Pray on the powerful' and 'We run with the wolves in the shadows.'

The song's chorus, 'This is the world we’ve made,' serves as a stark reminder of our collective responsibility. It suggests that the state of the world is a direct result of our actions and choices. The repetition of this line throughout the song underscores the weight of this realization. Ruelle's haunting vocals and the atmospheric production further amplify the song's dark and introspective tone, making 'The World We Made' a powerful commentary on human nature and the consequences of our actions.
