Answer 1

What is ripper up of reason if what I heard is right ?

It's someone who rips up reason.

It's intended as a metaphor of some kind. Your guess is as good as mine as to what is the intended literal meaning.

What is perennial scissor of the day if what I heard is right too?

I heard this as "seizer of the day", meaning one who seizes the day.

"Seize the day" is the conventional English translation of the Latin phrase carpe diem, originating with (as I quickly google) the poet Horace.

It is usually interpreted to mean to make the most of a moment or of an opportunity.
