Beneath The Surface
Demons of Ruby Mae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Always wanted want he couldn't get
Was a man who hated his own fortune
Spending his life living through regret
Cos he never realised what's important

Could you bear
Could you bear my love
Could you bear
Could you bear my love

Just the same in everything you do
Did you really think that they'd take notice
They just have to take one look at you
And they'll soon scratch beneath the surface

Could you bear
Could you bear my love
Could you bear
Could you bear my love

Could you bear
Could you bear my love
Could you bear




Could you bear
Could you bear my love

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of Beneath The Surface by Demons of Ruby Mae tell the story of a man who has always desired what he couldn't have. Despite his fortune and his accomplishments, he finds himself dissatisfied and living in a constant state of regret. The lyrics suggest that the man never truly appreciated what was important in life, which ultimately caused his unhappiness. The chorus poses the question, "Could you bear my love?", as if asking whether someone could handle the weight of another's love and the vulnerabilities that come with it.


The second verse speaks to the idea of someone being the same in everything they do. They may think that they are blending in and not standing out, but the truth is that people will always find a way to scratch beneath the surface and see beyond the exterior. In this way, the lyrics suggest that true connections are made when people allow themselves to be vulnerable and show their true selves.


In summary, Beneath The Surface by Demons of Ruby Mae is a song that explores the theme of vulnerability and the idea that true connections are made when people allow themselves to be truly seen.


Line by Line Meaning

Always wanted want he couldn't get
He desired things that were out of his reach


Was a man who hated his own fortune
He despised his own luck and circumstances


Spending his life living through regret
He has spent his entire life with the burden of remorse for missed opportunities


Cos he never realised what's important
Because he never understood the significance of what mattered


Could you bear
Can you handle


Could you bear my love
Can you accept my affection


Just the same in everything you do
You exhibit uniformity in your actions


Did you really think that they'd take notice
Did you genuinely believe they would recognize you


They just have to take one look at you
All they need is a glance at you


And they'll soon scratch beneath the surface
And then they will expose what lies beneath your exterior

Always wanted what he couldn't get
What's the matter hating years of fortune?
Spending his life living through regrets
See, he never realized what's important

You bend you bend my love
You bend you bend my love


[Electronic break]


Just the same in everything you do,
Did you think that they'd take notice?
They just have to take one look at you
And they'll soon scratch BENEATH THE SURFACE

You bend you bend my love
You bend you bend my love
You bend you bend my love
Could you bend my love?!
