Destroyer - Rubies Lyrics

One of the most beautiful songs Dan Bejar has ever written

*waving in a modern way*

This is the first song of the first record I ever listened to on really good hash brownies 12 years ago at a boarding school during exam week I think I failed a couple. I love you Dan bejar you probably helped shape my life

very good! but painter in your pocket rules! (for me)

Typical Ruleshit

True writer, poet hard to find such writing.

his second best opening track next to NL...ahh, the hits a keep a comin

this song is a sneaky masterpiece. the lyrics are BOSS. cat is just so damn smart. oodles of meta

killed the American non-writers. Destroying Destroyer.

these lyrics are pretty ridiculous

Kyle Tomlinson your IQ might be a little low.

They are wonderfully ridiculous

and that's why they're amazing. It's like this one guy that said to me when I was DJing at a community college station and happened to play Thelonius Monk. "My 12 year old daughter could play that." I didn't have a chance to get into an argument with him, but my response would have been, "Maybe your twelve year old daughter could play this piece, but would she or anyone ever think about writing it?
Everybody's, like, "I could have..." but they never did, nor could have in the first place.

@John Montgomery LMAO

this is my favorite album of all time, such a masterpiece

Humming this song over and over... then forget it for a year.. then remember it -- and then its back full force. Every time it comes back it is so satisfying.

Same, singing every lyric, nostalgic af.

This was right before they started calling me, 'the sacrificial lamb,' and 'your gonna ride the unicorn through the storm' in 2005.

This was a super sad time.

I don't even want to listen to this. It makes me want to puke.

Bill and Ballmer, 2001-2007. Sergey Brin and Speilberg, 2008-2012.

is that an Atmosphere reference?

Don't worry about her
She's been known to appreciate the elegance of an empty room

oi migoooo

one of those albums that are pleasant and well made but forgettable though you still like them regardless

Not at all this masterpiece is burned in my skull

братишка actually this is a masterpiece for the ages

Well, great song!

I AM PROUD TO BE A PART OF THIS NUMBAH

Dueling cyclones jackknife
They got eyes for your wife and the blood that lives in her heart...

Cast myself towards infinity
Trust me, I had my reasons
Had a dress for every season, it was worth it
Pulled into town relatively free of hassle
Secured a room at the castle, it paid for itself
Checked out my surroundings, headed down to Thornton Park
Find your way
Discover that things are dark
Shadowy figures babbling on about typical rural shit
I wave bye to them in a modern way and increase my stay at the dock of the bay

Quiet, Ruby, someone's coming
Approach with stealth
Oh, it's just your precious American Underground
and it is born of wealth
With not a writer in the lot
Sapphires vie for your attention
Cheap dancers they mean well in their way
But Priest says - "Please, I can't stand my knees And I can't bear her raven tresses caught up in the breeze like that!"

Blessed doctor, do your worst
Cut me open, remove this thirst
Hidden, but near
A series of visions, I won't repeat them here
I won't repeat them here

Typical me, typical me
I gave my cargo to the sea
I gave the water what it always wanted to be

Look to the West!
"Ah, look, it's no contest" - Proud Mary said as she lit the fuse
"I wanted you. I wanted your blues"
Your Blues

"All good things must come to an end
The bad ones just go on forever"
Isn't that what I just said?
It is Now and it is Never
It is Now and it is Never
It is Now and it is Never
It is Now and it is Never

Don't worry about her
She's been known to appreciate the elegance of an empty room
Look, I made you this broom
A predicate warning to the sun -
"This Night advances on..."

The sketchy crowd shows me drawings, they're alright
An alternately dim and frightful waste
Now come on honey let's go outside
You disrupt the world's disorder just by virtue of your grace, you know...
I didn't want to go, but leave I must...
As gratifying as this dust was

Please don't wake me from this - my golden slumber -
I am proud to be a part of this number!

Man oh man, I'm really happy that I discovered Destroyer!

Tea for me please. Chin chin ... oh, and glad somebody's in.

so do i

This song has zero comments? Wake up everybody! Smell the coffee. Look around. You're alive.

No Shit!!!!
