In the realm of pop-rock, few songs capture the essence of unrequited love as poignantly as this particular track. The lyrics of "Ruby" by Kaiser Chiefs portray a protagonist caught in a whirlwind of emotions, fundamentally rooted in an intense infatuation for a woman named Ruby. Throughout the song, he questions Ruby's awareness and reciprocation of his feelings, echoing sentiments familiar to anyone who has ever experienced one-sided love. The repeated refrain "Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya" amplifies his longing and desperation for her acknowledgment. Furthermore, the lines "Due to lack of interest / Tomorrow is canceled" depict his apathy towards life without her affection. This song effectively encapsulates the tormenting uncertainty and profound impact that unrequited love can have on an individual's psyche.
Ruby
Lyrics
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Let it never be said that romance is dead
'Cause there's so little else occupying my head
There is nothing I need, 'cept the function to breathe
But I'm not really fussed, doesn't matter to me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Know what your doing, doing to me? (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Due to lack of interest
Tomorrow is canceled
Let the clocks be reset and the pendulums held
'Cause there's nothing at all, 'cept the space in between
Finding out what you're called, and repeating your name
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Know what your doing, doing to me? (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Could it be, could it be that you're joking with me
And you don't really see you with me?
Could it be, could it be that you're joking with me
And you don't really see you with me?
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Know what your doing, doing to me? (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Know what your doing, doing to me? (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
