Procrastination
Ruby Daun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I procrastinate on the daily
I can't get my homework done even though it's only one fucking page long
I sleep and I eat and in my free time I watch some TV
Now I feel bad it's kinda sad
I'm looking at myself and all I see is trash
I'm going round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round in circles
Slow like a turtle
I'm in a bubble
Fell in a puddle
Now I'm in trouble
Yeah I might double
And if I pass then it's a fucking miracle
It's nine o'clock, my phone is hot
Scrolling for eternity I gotta stop
They think I'm so productive that I'm so ambitious
Well I don't even wanna do the freacking dishes
I'm a teenager I'm allowed to be a failure
I guess I'll see you later
I'm going round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round in circles
It's turning purple
Slow like a turtle
I'm in a bubble
Fell in a puddle
Now I'm in trouble
Yeah I might double
And if I pass then it's a fucking miracle
I'm still sitting over here, music in my ears
Waiting around to hear that little voice in my head
Saying there's no use for tears
There's nothing left to fear
The good days will appear
Once you get off the internet
Get up
Get up
Get up
The song "Procrastination" by Ruby Daun is a humorous yet relatable take on the common struggle of procrastination. The lyrics delve into the reality of being lazy and struggling to get things done. The first verse sets the scene with the singer unable to complete a simple task, even though it is only one page long. Instead of working, they sleep, eat, and watch TV, feeling somewhat ashamed of their lack of productivity. The chorus paints a picture of going around in circles, never quite making progress, and feeling trapped as in a bubble. The imagery of turning purple and going slow like a turtle signifies the frustration and disappointment of not living up to one's own expectations. In the second verse, the singer acknowledges the pressure of being seen as productive and ambitious by others but admits to not wanting to do something as simple as the dishes. The bridge provides a message of hope that good days can appear once you get off the internet and take action. The song ends with a call to action, to get up and get moving.
One interesting fact about "Procrastination" is that it was written and recorded during the Covid-19 pandemic, reflecting the experience of many who found themselves with ample free time but lacking the motivation to be productive. The song was released on August 7, 2020, and gained popularity on TikTok and other social media platforms. Ruby Daun is a relatively unknown artist from San Diego, California, but her music has resonated with a wide audience due to its honesty and relatability. The song's playful and catchy melody, combined with its humorous yet poignant lyrics, make it a memorable and relatable tune. Another interesting fact is that the production of the song was handled by Nico Rebscher, a well-known German music producer who has worked with artists such as Lena Meyer-Landrut and Max Giesinger.
