Elliot said that “Rubies” was originally written for a movie, however the movie ended up rejecting this song. Rubies is about wanting to fit in and changing things about yourself to make friends to fulfill you instead of trying to find happiness with yourself.
[Intro]
I'd kill to fit in, now there's blood on my hands
'Cause I only like my rubies red
[Verse 1]
I've been window shopping
But I've got a heart that copies my empty pockets
And I can see the glisten
It's like a chandelier for my darkest thoughts
And part of me knows it's my fault
I just can't make any friends
Guess I'm a kleptomaniac
'Cause I'm not afraid to take them
If I can hold 'em even when I'm old
I can carry 'em straight to the grave and that makes me insane
But I'll never be lonely and if it's all the same
But I'll nеver be lonely
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'll takе all your friends, all your cars, all your love
And oh, all the diamonds too
[Chorus]
I'd kill to fit in, now there's blood on my hands
'Cause I only like my rubies red
They'll all adore me once they see my trophies
I only like my rubies red
You can bury me with all my gems
I'll take them with me to the end
At least I can grin as they nail down my coffin
I only like my rubies red
[Verse 2]
Brag about your friendships
But loneliness invades every space
And while you hoard relationships
That fill the emptiness
Cut me red-handed with glass that's embedded
Reminiscent of the friends I've collected
Already said that I'd kill just to get 'em
So don't be surprised that I'd die to protect them
(Rubies) Give 'em to me
(Rubies) Give 'em to me
(I don't need rhinestones)
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'll take all your friends, all your cars, all your love
And oh, all the diamonds too
[Chorus]
I'd kill to fit in, now there's blood on my hands
'Cause I only like my rubies red
They'll all adore me once they see my trophies
I only like my rubies red
You can bury me with all my gems
I'll take them with me to the end
At least I can grin as they nail down my coffin
I only like my rubies red
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (I only like my rubies red)
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (Rubies, rubies, rubies)
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (I only like my rubies red)
Oh, oh
