@Destini No, she was not talking about Ruby in Armed and Ready. She was talking about Blake. Focus on the context of the lyrics:

"But there's no waking from this nightmare The stage is always set The place I can't forget The hidden eyes, that I can feel there

My eyes are open wide I'm racing to her side There's nothing that I won't do for her But this is not a dream My mind repeats the scene I can't forget it and it's torture

That was before But not anymore"

Th first set: She's talking about how she has nightmares about the moment Adam cut her arm off.


 * "There's no waking from this nightmare" - The nightmare she has, and the fact that it's based on something that really happened, so even when she wakes up, the reality is still there.


 * "The stage is always set, the place I can't forget" - The cafeteria, in which it happened.


 * "The hidden eyes that I can feel there" - Adam's eyes are hidden behind a mask.

The second set:


 * "I'm racing to her side" - She's still talking about the nightmare/memory, not present day. In this context, she is talking about Blake, not Ruby. Back in Heroes and Monsters, she was running around trying to find Blake, and then she rushed into the cafeteria to save Blake.


 * "But this is not a dream" - Again, she's still talking about the nightmare/memory. This part of the lyrics is all in present tense because she's reliving it in her mind.


 * "My mind repeats the scene" - Again, reliving it in her mind. Her mind is repeating the "scene", the memory of when Adam cut her arm off.


 * "I can't forget it and it's torture" - Still talking about the night Adam cut her arm off.

And the third set:


 * "That was before" - Referring to the memory.

So, no, she's not talking about Ruby in Armed and Ready. Armed and Ready is completely centered around the memory of Adam cutting her arm off while she tried to protect Blake and how she has gotten back on her feet and moved forward from that. It has absolutely zero to do with Ruby.
