Live in Life
The Rubens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out of my mind, I'll be outside
Saying what I want, tryna pick a fight
You could not care, did you bat an eye?
Icy cold pride
Looking at your phone, looking for a ride
Guess I'm really done this time
Guess I'm really done this time
A purple sunset, just a taste of the weather
The air is dense as my back sticks to the leather
Pull up and stall, I keep my beer in the cellar
The year was good and all in all I'm alright
Forget her
It's not the way you mix up all of your letters
It's not the page but there's some beautiful errors
These scenes at night are shocking, shaking me now
I'm great I'm good but I might need talking down

Out of my mind, I'll be outside
Looking for you in a different life
You came out feeling like a princess right?
Perfect awesome right
Baby I'm fine, kinda want to die
And I kinda want to live in life
Think I'm gonna live in life, life, life

The truth is out that I have truly lost it
The music's loud but there's no tune, I don't want it
Who's using who and got their hands in whose pockets?
I've never known just how to mask all of my problems
Choosing moods my face is frozen fast and
Boots and shoes left with the coats and hats and
Have you seen my heart tonight (not tonight)
You seem to be the guilty type, alright alright alright

Out of my mind, I'll be outside
Looking for you in a different life
You came out feeling like a princess right?
Perfect awesome right
Baby I'm fine, kinda want to die
And I kinda want to live in life
Think I'm gonna live in life, life, life

Tonight I'm on the highway with wind
And the sky and the lights off
And the right song
Tonight I'm going sideways I'm in
It's my time, it's the last stop
Got to get off

Out of my mind, I'll be outside
Saying what I want try to a pick a fight
You could not care, did you bat an eye?
Icy cold pride
Looking at your phone, 'ooking for a ride
Guess I'm really done this time
Pick me up a Gemini
I, I

Out of my mind, I'll be outside
Looking for you in a different life
You came out feeling like a princess right?
Perfect awesome right
Baby I'm fine, kinda want to die
And I kinda want to live in life
Think I'm gonna live in life, life, life

If the end of the world (out of my mind, I'll be outside)
Gets me close to you (looking for you in a different life)
(Baby I'm fine, kinda want to die, and I kinda wanna)
(You came out feeling like a princess right?)




Well, baby I'm finished (kinda wanna die)
(Think I'm gonna live in life, life, life)

Overall Meaning

The Rubens's song "Live In Life" depicts the story of a man who feels fed up with his current situation, and struggles to find his place in the world. The first verse sets up the scene with a feeling of frustration and rejection, as the singer tries to provoke a reaction from the person he is addressing. He feels ignored and insignificant, as the other person scrolls through their phone looking for a ride, which leads him to wonder if he even matters to the world. The chorus highlights his desire to change his life and live it to the fullest, despite feeling overwhelmed and lost.


As the song progresses, the singer's mood changes as he reflects on the beauty of the world around him, taking in the sunset and the warmth of the weather. However, he still struggles with his feelings of loneliness and desires a new start in a different life, wishing to feel like a "princess", i.e., loved and valued. He realizes that he needs to face his problems head-on rather than mask them and that he wants to get off the metaphorical highway he is on. The final part of the song is a hopeful affirmation that he will survive, and it is time for him to live in life.


Overall, "Live In Life" is an exploration of the ups and downs of human emotions, and the various struggles that make us feel lost, overwhelmed, and isolated, as well as the courage needed to overcome them.

What a journey of a song.........
I listen
I pause
I get emotional
I think of what I have lost
I think of where I am..........

Then I listen again and get taken away......

Out of my mind I’ll be outside
Saying what I want trying to pick a fight
You could not care did you bat an eye
Icy cold pride
Looking at your phone looking for a ride
Guess I’m really done this time
Guess I’m really done this time

A purple sunset just a taste of the weather
The air is dense as my back sticks to the leather
Pull up and stall I keep my beer in the cellar
The year was good and all in all I’m alright
Forget her

It’s not the way you mix up all of your letters
It’s not the page but there’s some beautiful errors
These scenes at night are shocking shaking me now
I’m great I’m good but I might need talking down

Out of my mind
I’ll be outside
Looking for you in a different life
You came out feeling like a princess right?
Perfect awesome right
Baby I’m fine
Kinda want to die
And I kinda want to live in life
Think I’m gonna live in life, life, life

The truth is out that I have truly lost it
The music’s loud but there’s no tune i don’t want it
Who’s using who and got their hands in whose pockets
I’ve never known just how to mask all of my
Problems
Choosing moods my face is frozen fast and
Boots and shoes left with the coats and hats and
Have you seen my heart tonight
Not tonight
You seem to be the guilty type
Alright alright alright

Out of my mind
I’ll be outside
Looking for you in a different life
You came out feeling like a princess right?
Perfect awesome right
Baby I’m fine
Kinda want to die
And I kinda want to live in life
Think I’m gonna live in life, life, life

Tonight I’m on the highway with wind and the sky and the lights off
And the right song
Tonight I’m going sideways I’m in it's my time it’s the last stop
Got to get off

Out of my mind
I’ll be outside
Saying what I want try to a pick a fight
You could not care did you bat an eye
Icy cold pride
Looking at your phone
Looking for a ride
Guess I’m really done this time
Pick me up a Gemini
I, I

Out of my mind
I’ll be outside
Looking for you in a different life
You came out feeling like a princess right?
Perfect awesome right
Baby I’m fine
Kinda want to die
And I kinda want to live in life
Think I’m gonna live in life, life, life

If the end of the world gets me close to you
