As the opener to Purity Ring’s third studio album, WOMB, “rubyinsides” describes the unequal distribution of healthcare in the United States.
[Verse 1]
Some people lie and believe
They'll never die
There is no value in youth
Unless it is wise and kind
As much as I am myself
This is a matter of wealth
Arrows of emeralds
Lead in our minds unfold
[Pre-Chorus]
Lest we forget regret
Foraging treasures left
This is temporal
All we have is our temperament
[Chorus]
If I could, I would let you see through me (You see through me)
Hold our skin over the light to hold the heat (To hold the heat)
Flood the halls with ruby insides 'til we spill
Wonder what it feels like?
If I could, I would let you see through me
[Verse 2]
Moisture from their breath
Covers to bring our death
The warmth of their health hovers
To keep us unwell
Be well
[Pre-Chorus]
Lest we forget regret
Foraging treasures left
This is temporal
All we have is our temperament
[Chorus]
If I could, I would let you see through me (You see through me)
Hold our skin over the light to hold the heat (To hold the heat)
Flood the halls with ruby insides 'til we spill
Wonder what it feels like?
If I could, I would let you see through me
[Outro]
If I could, I would let you see through me
If I could, I would let you see through me
Flood the halls with ruby insides 'til we spill
Wonder what it feels like?
If I could, I would let you see through me
