That's the vibe the editing to the video gives and that's what I feel went through in the translation. If it was something more radical like "Clockwork Lullaby 7" being used in some areas of the SCP video, I've have a different opinion. But it looks more like a liberty in translation used for clarity of meaning to me.

Based on a thesaurus the "worn" and "rotten/falling" connotations are considered synonyms, hence why I brought it up. When I think of decay, I think of something wearing down over time, personally, regardless of circumstance. But that might not be as appropriate definition-wise as battered or beaten. I'm fine with any, but I feel the former works better overall.
