Ruby Red
Fading Sunset: Jann Arden's Ruby Red Reveals Unspoken Longings
Lyrics
You don't know me
Feeling unrecognized and misunderstood
You don't own me
Asserting independence and not being possessed
You don't show me
Expressing a lack of attention or affection
That you love me like no other
Desiring a unique and unparalleled love
You don't hold me
Not receiving physical closeness or comfort
You don't know me
Reiterating the feeling of being misunderstood
You don't love me anymore so
Stating that love has diminished or disappeared
Go
Encouraging the partner to leave
You don't need me
Pointing out a lack of necessity in the relationship
You can't see me
Indicating an inability to perceive or understand
You don't please me
Expressing dissatisfaction with the partner's efforts
You don't want me to be happy
Implying a disregard for personal happiness
You don't hear me
Not being heard or listened to
You don't feel me
Not feeling emotionally connected
You don't love me anymore so
Repeating the absence of love in the relationship
Go
Reiterating the suggestion to leave
You don't know me
Emphasizing the lack of understanding
You never knew me baby
Highlighting a historical lack of knowledge
You never told me
Not being verbally assured of love
That you loved me when we lied in bed
Recalling a lack of expression of love in intimate moments
You'll miss me
Predicting the partner's future regret for the relationship
You'll never kiss these
Anticipating the absence of future physical affection
Lips of ruby sunset
Describing the lips with a metaphor of a ruby sunset
Red
Reiterating the color red, possibly symbolizing passion or intensity
