TØP TUESDAY: RUBY EXPLAINED
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- "Ruby" is one of the sweetest, deepest Twenty One Pilots songs of all time. The lyrics will truly make you feel something.
In this song, Tyler Joseph tells the story of a young girl that he and Joshua Dun know from their church. "Ruby" has Down Syndrome, but that doesn't keep her from being the sweetest, most joyful "angel" she can be. Tyler and Josh love her, and so they wrote this song about her. Enjoy my explanations of the meaning of the lyrics of "Ruby" by Twenty One Pilots.

I feel like "sha da dee da dum" is a "I can't explain that to you in a way you understand, I have a way I understand it but you have to find how you understand for yourself".
That makes sense!
To my sound like "sha la la" thats a hebreic* word
Kind of like what kitchen sink talks about maybe.
Hey everyone! Thanks so much for watching and commenting what we should explain next week! I love you all!
I just wanted to say this, but no offense if you liked this song, but I didn't. I thought the lyrics hardly made sense (and I'm half-Christian) and the music was *so* annoying. The buzzy, frenetic synthesizer always sticks in my head and drives me crazy! And also, why is Tyler Joseph so obsessed with this little girl? He sings about her like he's a stalker and wants to rape her, because she's so beautiful and amazing, even though we as the audience can't even see her.
Also, f*** Tyler's screaming like a maniac. Really? *"YOU'RE AN ANGEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLGAXNGNAPZLGIKELMNGIWIOLGKO!!!!!!!!"* Stop screaming, you creeper!
Elebrony he can’t get it cross that she’s an angel.
Message Man!

General Stievous I tried to explain it...
General Stievous It is such a great song!
yes!!
YES ONE OF MY FAVS
ITS MY FAV SONG BY TØP PLEASE
What does "The Judge" mean?
I love that song. I really want to explain this one. This is my official vote!
BlA_ZeR Edits yes! I love that song. Basically the best from Blurryface. It's up there with Goner for sure.
The Pop Song Professor So you're digging in to this song next!? Awesome!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!! To me it's about God being the "Judge", I think I'm right but I just never know!!
Well it'd be nice if I could, but I will try to respect the vote.
*TRUCE* OR *BE CONCERNED*
N Marshall truce is the second best song friend please is best
Warning ⚠️ this is an opinion is not fact read at own risk warning ⚠️ my grammar sucks
truce is self explanatory lol
About the room being red, I agree with your explanation and besides the methaphorical meaning, I've always connected it to the literal meaning of Ruby: the colour of the stone.
Also, I think it may mean that she owns the room she walks in, with her arrival it turns to red. Her uniqueness makes her stand out anywhere.
Loving your interpretations, I'd love to see The Judge next!
I never quite grasped what it meant when he said “tell our dad I’m sorry” but when you explained it, it hit me right in the heart and I cried a bit.
Dang son
Do The Pantaloon or Hometown plssss
Hometown!
I didn't know that this song was about a little that they knew. That's so cute!!!
I love this song so much, and I love that part where he is screaming too.
Hometown next?
I thought aha da dee dah dum sounded like a hyper feeling, so at that time when he was feeling depressed, low, and tired she showed him energy and made him feel better
Idk...
Edit: I love your channel ughhhh. I really like the Christian side too because it's just really nice idek why
Cool, thanks!
please do trapdoor by TWENTY ØNE piløts you are the best 😁
Not today maybe?
That's a good one.
The Pop Song Professor hometown
o ms believer PLEASE i wont stop until you do it
jolaine2312 help me get the pantaloon up and I will help you with oh miss believer
Yasssss please
Yaayyyyyyyy! Please do Clear next!!!
I love your videos. Do you think you could do "Clear?"
Also, could you possibly start doing lyric analyses of songs by Cavetown? To start, I would suggest "we're alive."
You. Are. A. Genius
Aw, thanks!
Do "Ms. Believer" !
(unless you already have, I haven't watched your channel for long so I don't know what you've done)
Haven't yet, but I hope it gets voted for soon!
ruby makes me cry bc it reminds me of who would've been my sister, but there was a miscarriage and she was never born. screaming "tell our dad i'm sorry, you're an angel" is so cathartic because it gives me peace to think that she's in heaven. anyway that's how i interpret the song, i think it's a really cool example of how their music can mean something totally different to the listener but still be incredibly powerful.
My son has down syndrome and my daughter and I LOVE Twenty One Pilots. I think you are right on. I always hear that my son is an angel from God and has a special connection with Him. We just seen them in concert and came across this song last night. Very meaningful.
Imagine if Tyler names his future child ruby 🥺
I'm so glad we're on the same page in regards to the verse where he talks about the red paint! I always thought I was being weird because people said it was just a reference to her name.
Tell me where are you from/shada-dee-da-dum
Tell me where am I from/shada-dee-da-dum
I think this highlights the contrast between the seriousness of his questions and the innocence of her answers. Our introspective nature leads us to have big questions, Tyler's being about faith generally. Now listen don't get me wrong on this: I sense him being almost envious of her "unawareness". Is our reflectiveness a blessing? Or is it a curse for our sin?
Let me know what you think
*Get's the notification and comes to see the video one minute after it's out*
Nice!
I really appreciate your TOP explanation videos, it makes their music that much more awesome. It shows that Tyler pours his heart out into his songwriting, and he's what inspired to want to become a song writer. A song off Blurryface I would recommend you to explain would be message man.
Thanks for the suggestion and kind words!
Goner or not today would be amazing!
I'd love for you to do Clear. I think it's about Tyler hiding his religion within his music, but i'd love to hear what you think about it
I'm getting it confused with another song right now, but I think you're right. In any case, it's soooo good.
glowing eyes !!
Can you do Addict with a Pen pls?? thx dude
Please do Fake You Out.
It's my favorite TOP Song.
From what I understand about Tyler's song writing process which is very little. It sounds like he writes the songs in poems than puts a beat to them so I think he had a TON of the albums songs long before they were ever released on any CD. That's just my opinion please nobody kill me please 😬
Katherine Weaver yeah, there was no phun intended.
The part of the song lyrics
"That shade has turned to red"
I think the colour change from pink to red, represents the true love and affection for Ruby.
Please do Fake You Out!!!!!
Drown for the next week ?
Ensino yessss
Ensino PLEEEZ
YES OML
Yes!
YES!
Love this song!
Please do Clear next :)
Ruby is my neice. Her dad is my brother. She's doing great and is now 13 years old. Spot on about the room color.
When I think of the words "Sha da de da dum," I think of tons of people dancing in a field of grass, all laughing. I have no idea why.
hey do lane boy or the judge
Please do clear!! I heard it's about Tyler's religion in his song, but it is so tough to understand! Thank you! Love the channel!
The down syndrome keeps her innocent, her being a little more simple of mind makes it easier for her to maintain her innocence. While Tyler, or us, are conflicted with doing what is right and wrong cause we're plagued imperfection constantly sinning everyday. Maybe she's an inspiration because even with her disability shes maintains her innocence, while Tyler being of full sound and mind still struggles. Seeing her innocence as perfection the only way to describe her is as an angel here on earth.
This actually made me tear up. I didn't realize what the song was about, but now that I know it's so beautiful
Can you do message man
Migraine please!
do hometown pllease!!! I am begging you!!
Slow town!!

"...One of the best twenty one pilots songs of all time. I know I say that every time but it's always true."
HAH
*subcribes*
Welcome!
Goner (Blurryface version)
Good suggestion!
blurryface version?
@@Julicxre yeah. Look up the Goner music video.
Please do doubt. I am just interested to see the way you think of it
Wow, this video revealed so much more of the song's meaning to me... I'll definitely think more when I hear it again. Thanks!
Ruby in all honesty is my favorite Twenty One Pilots song, it's so pure and deep song
Not sure if you saw it but I posted something on patron helping you explain a few lines in the second rap of old to sleep because you said that you didn't know what it meant. But if you haven't you should go look at it and tell me what you think
Ah, yes, I remember reading/seeing it. I responded now, but basically I think you're spot on and will try use that in future discussions of Ode.
TB saga
Omg do Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance pleaseeee, people have to know the real meaning of this amazing song, thank youuu, lots of lovexxx
That would be such a good one!
The 6 dislikes are from Warner
From Blurryface you should do Fairly Local, Hometown or Polarize.
Hometown!!
I literally saw this notification and i cried . Im not really sure why, but your videos literally make me so happy . like i dont know if it's because your voice and choice of words is like asmr or if its just lyric explanation videos or what but I'm-

Will continue to do so!

THanks!
God put his message in about every good song...To me...Ruby Tuesday means Rapture Tuesday in which the bride of Christ will be taken up to heaven....Ruby like a birthstone....to be reborn in heaven with God and the Bridegroom Christ....This September 11 is a Tuesday....and an important feast day for Israel....and the time is about perfect...
