The Half
Ruben Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I do a whole lotta things that are wrong and I know that I do
But my head has been in overload,
Overload, overload, overload, overload, overload
Overload, overload, overload, overload, overload, overload
You've got your opinion, but you don't know my past
You don't know the half
You don't know the half
You don't know the half
I'm not that cold
I just don't use my words in the way that you do
I've learned to grow
But I still feel the lows a little different than you
And it puts my head in overload
Overload, overload, overload, overload, overload
Overload, overload, overload, overload, overload, overload
You've got your opinion, but you don't know my past
You don't know my reason
You don't know the half
You don't know the half
You don't know the half
You don't know the half
And I can try to put it in words for you
And serve it on a silver plate
I can write it on a thousand pages too
But still
You'll have your opinions, 'cause you don't know my past
And you don't know my reasons
You don't know the half
You don't know the half
The song "The Half" by Ruben is a reflection of the struggles that he faces in expressing himself to others. In the song, Ruben speaks to the difficulty he has in being understood, despite his efforts to communicate. He acknowledges that he says and does things that are wrong, but he feels that others do not truly understand him. The repetition of the word "overload" throughout the song puts emphasis on the overwhelming feeling that Ruben experiences when he tries to communicate his thoughts and feelings.
Ruben also addresses the idea that others may have an opinion of him, but they do not have full knowledge of his past or the reasons behind his actions. He emphasizes this point by repeating the line, "You don't know the half" multiple times throughout the song. Ruben feels that he has learned and grown from his experiences, but his emotions may still be different than those of others, and this can cause further misunderstandings.
The last section of the song is Ruben's attempt to explain his perspective to others, but he acknowledges that even with all the words and pages used, others may still not understand. The song speaks to the idea that sometimes people struggle to express themselves and be understood, and how this can impact relationships and interactions with others.

Hey Ruben! When is the live part 3? Cant believe I missed the two others live, so I definately will not miss part 3. You should make some advertisement for yourself, cause YOU are the best thing ever! (Im Norwegian, but since everyone should be able to understand, I write in english). 😉

It shouldn’t be surprising since Norwegians learn English and Sami at school...
