Rubik's Cube
Julian Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grow up
Time to put those big girl pants on
He hasn't changed and he won't
You gotta stay gone
He is who he is
Fuck is potential
You get what he gives, it's nothing special
Oh the truth is
Love is easy
It's not love if it's hard
Every time you let him back in
You're breaking your own heart
Quit breaking it
When he says "jump" you always jump
Through the highest rings of fire
Once, just this once call him out, he's a goddamn liar
He did what he did
Fuck his potential
You get what he gives, it's nothing special
Quit tryna figure him out, he ain't a Rubik's Cube
Oh the truth is...
Love it's easy
It's not love if it's hard
Every time you let him back in
You're breaking your own heart
Quit breaking it
Ever since you were a child, he made it clear you weren't worth his while
So you can walk yourself down the aisle
Towards the man who taught you that
Love it's easy
It's not love if it's hard
Every time you let him back in
You're breaking your own heart
Quit breaking it
In Julian Moon's song "Rubik's Cube," the lyrics convey a message of empowerment and self-awareness in a romantic relationship. The song addresses a girl who needs to face reality and make the difficult decision to move on from a toxic partner who hasn't changed and will not change. The lyrics emphasize that she deserves better and should stop trying to decipher his behavior like solving a Rubik's Cube.
The first verse encourages the girl to "grow up" and recognize that staying in this relationship is not healthy. It dismisses the idea of his potential, emphasizing that she should focus on what he actually gives her, which is nothing special. The lyrics suggest that she should stop trying to understand and make excuses for his actions because relationships should not be a puzzle to solve.
The chorus emphasizes that love should be easy, and if it's hard, it might not be love after all. Each time she lets him back into her life, she is only hurting herself, breaking her own heart. The lyrics encourage her to quit this destructive pattern.
In the second verse, the song urges the girl to stand up for herself and call out her partner's lies. She is reminded that he has shown his true colors and that his potential means nothing. The repeated line, "You get what he gives, it's nothing special," reinforces the idea that she deserves better than the minimal effort he puts into the relationship. The lyrics again stress that understanding him is unnecessary because he is not as complex as a Rubik's Cube.
The bridge of the song reflects on the girl's past, highlighting that the partner has always made it clear that she was not worth his time and attention. It implies that she should not settle for someone who has treated her poorly and should instead choose someone who appreciates her worth.
Ultimately, the lyrics of "Rubik's Cube" encourage the girl to break free from this toxic relationship and stop hurting herself. It emphasizes the importance of self-love and realizing that love should not be difficult or painful. Instead, she should focus on finding a love that is easy and fulfilling, where she doesn't have to constantly break her own heart.
