Ruins has an odd time signature compared to most songs in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It runs at roughly 228 beats per minute with the following repeating pattern - 3/6, 3/6, 3/6, 3/8. That is to say, each main measure uses four bars; the first three of which use a 3/6 time signature, and the last of which uses 3/8.
"Ruins" runs at roughly 114 beats per minute and has an odd time signature compared to most songs in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. Although the song can be notated with just 6/8, the melody and percussion follow a structure resembling eight bars of 9/4 plus a single bar of 3/4. The song does not have any distinct sections—instead, the song's single section repeats with different instruments removed or added. The song is notable for its use of bell sounds and a synthetic choir for backup. One of the main instruments is a synthetic low flute-like sound similar in tone to Middle-Eastern instruments such as the [[Wikipedia:Ney|Ney]].
