Judging from the description the song appears to switch from Ruby and Summer's perspective accordingly, accenting Ruby's grief and Summer's regret. as shown by the words "all of the joy i had known for all my life was stripped away the minute that you died"

Yang says in "Burning the Candle" that she does not think that Ruby understood about Summer's "death" (that is still in speculation, but  [sadly] is highly likely) but the lyrics make it seem that Ruby understands exactly what is going on.

The song parts that relate to Ruby's perspective are likely from her grieving period as Yang also say's "she was really torn up about it" without the occasional cuss words.

Summer's relative parts in the song say that she didnt want to leave Ruby alone in "This world of Madness" and " Want you to know that for eternity i'm shattered" just wishing she could just explain herself.

So i think that you are asking, "if Ruby understood what was going on, why is she so innocent and cheerful?"

Well i think that she is basically putting on a brave face the entire time and now it has become second nature. and while she knows that people die, she is no stanger to violence and killing as she seems to enjoy fighting, besides she is young and just because she has gone through trauma it does not mean that you have to become an emotional wreck or brooding pessimist.
