Ambulance
Dreams in the Shadows: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'Ambulance'
Lyrics
I don't know if I can find a way to keep
I am uncertain if I can find a solution to retain
All the secrets that you told me in your sleep
All the confidences you shared with me while you were asleep
And I'm amazed that you still find the space to dream
I find it surprising that you still manage to imagine
In the shadows of a town made out of thieves
In the shadows of a town built by dishonest individuals
Who would drown the sound of history repeating
People who silence the echoes of history repeating
With the ambulances screaming up the street
Amid the noise of ambulances wailing down the street
So sing to me
Therefore, sing to me
Don't let me fall asleep to the sound of cold machines
Prevent me from falling asleep to the noise of cold machines
Or the smell of gasoline
Or the scent of gasoline
Or the weight of destiny
Or the burden of fate
Don't make me wait
Do not delay
I've been waiting here all night
I've been patiently waiting here throughout the night
I've been waiting my whole life
I've been waiting for my entire life
Somewhere the ghosts of factory workers dance
Somewhere, the spirits of factory workers engage in a dance
With the ghosts of kids who never had a chance
With the spirits of children who never had an opportunity
And we still hear it out our window every night
We still hear this scene outside our window every night
