After 2 months of songwriting and rehearsing, the band decided to do things differently – realising they didn’t quite fit the Indie buzz – the band decided to take their commercial music straight to the people – The summer ‘07 Rubylux took to the streets… They were sending over 300 people home with a CD after each impromptu street performance, each time gaining bigger crowds. The band have hugely expanded their fanbase, and have even gained ad synchs in Europe, America, Asia and Australia.
With a vast array of influences, Rubylux have set their sights on making their own mark on the music scene. As dedicated songwriters they value a pop hook, strong melody and big chorus leaving the impression of longevity with everyone that hears them. With a new live show, many new songs and studio time in the pipeline, sights have been firmly set ahead and expectations high…
What You Need
Rubylux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's do all the things we say we're gonna do and not leave them lonely,
On the side, of our lives,
Just wasting time, just wasting life.
It's what you need,
It's in the air we breathe,
It's what you need,
Switch off the lights, I don't wanna see the road ahead.
I'm saying from now that I'm breaking out for the highs that we've just left,
On the side of our lives,
Just wasting time, it's just wasting life.
It's what you need,
It's in the air we breathe,
It's what you need,
It's what you want it to be.
Don't be so patient now,
This world is reaching out
You'll still be waiting for tomorrow, forever tomorrow.
Kick off your shoes, let's go and make a memory.
It's what you need,
It's in the air we breathe,
It's what you need,
It's what you want it to be.

Line by Line Meaning
Kick off your shoes, let's go and make a memory.
Let's create a memory together by doing everything we've talked about but never done, instead of leaving those things unfulfilled and wasting our lives away.
Let's do all the things we say we're gonna do and not leave them lonely,
Let's follow through on our promises and complete the things we talked about doing, instead of abandoning them and leaving them unfinished.
On the side, of our lives,

Just wasting time, just wasting life.
By allowing these dreams and promises to go unfulfilled, we are simply wasting our time and ultimately wasting our lives.
It's what you need,
Taking the time to create memories and fulfill our dreams and promises is what we truly need in life.
It's in the air we breathe,
This need for meaningful experiences and fulfillment is a fundamental aspect of human nature, present in the very essence of our being and surroundings.
It's what you want it to be.
We have the power to shape our experiences and dreams into what we want them to be, and we should strive to do so.
Switch off the lights, I don't wanna see the road ahead.
I refuse to be held back by the fear of the unknown or the uncertainty of the future. I am ready to embrace the present moment and make it count.
I'm saying from now that I'm breaking out for the highs that we've just left,
I am determined to break out of the monotony and boredom of everyday life and pursue new and exciting experiences that I may have overlooked in the past.
Don't be so patient now,
There is no time to waste by being patient or complacent. We should take action now to create the experiences we crave and fulfill our dreams.
This world is reaching out
The world is constantly offering new opportunities and experiences for us to grasp and take advantage of.
You'll still be waiting for tomorrow, forever tomorrow.
If we continue to procrastinate and put off experiencing life, we will be stuck in this pattern forever and never truly appreciate the present moment.
