Ambler: Searching for Home Amidst Memories
Lyrics
Do you know where you are
Asking about the current emotional or mental state and awareness of one's surroundings.
When you're so alone and
Expressing a feeling of loneliness.
The memories pass you by?
Reflecting on memories passing by and possibly being ignored or overlooked.
Are you near or far
Questioning the proximity to or distance from a familiar place.
From the only home that you've never know
Referring to a home that holds significance but has never been experienced.
So cry, cry as the years go by
Encouraging the expression of emotions and acknowledging the passage of time.
Is there something you left there?
Inquiring if something important was left behind in the mentioned place.
A mother holds her child for the first time
Describing the profound moment of a mother holding her child for the first and last time.
And the last time...
Highlighting the finality of a significant moment.
In Ambler
Referencing the location "Ambler" as a setting or symbolic place.
Do you wish you could find a severance from
Expressing a desire for a break or separation from overwhelming emotions.
All the tears that drench your soul?
Questioning the possibility of finding relief from intense sorrow.
Is it all in your mind or is there something else
Raising the possibility of undisclosed feelings or experiences.
That you've never told?
Suggesting hidden aspects of one's life that have not been shared.
So try, try push the pain aside
Encouraging efforts to overcome pain and suffering.
Can you turn it around
Pondering the ability to change the situation when emotionally connected to a place.
When your heart's still in that town?
Exploring the challenge of moving on when the heart remains attached to a particular town.
This is goodbye for the last time...
Acknowledging a final farewell to the mentioned place.
To Ambler
Reiterating the significance of Ambler as a place being left behind.
Will the morning see what you were meant to be
Pondering if the future will align with one's intended destiny.
Will you finally find some peace of mind
Questioning the possibility of finding peace of mind in the future.
You always push and shove
Describing the struggle for maternal affection and love.
For a mother's love
Highlighting the inner conflict and the dual nature of one's thoughts.
But your double mind says that
Expressing a conflicting self-assessment of being okay despite challenges.
You're just fine
Describing a sense of isolation with nowhere to go and no familiar faces.
And now there's nowhere to go
Expressing loneliness and emotional pain.
And there's no one you know
Emphasizing the solitude of being left alone with internal struggles.
And you're left all alone with the pain inside
Highlighting the enduring emotional pain.
Until you look to the sky
Encouraging looking towards something greater or spiritual for solace.
Until you lay down your pride
Encouraging humility and letting go of pride.
The place where your hurt was born
Connecting the source of hurt to the place of birth and suggesting its impact on the heart.
Is where your heart will die
Stating that the place where one experienced pain is where the heart will cease to feel.
Do you know where you are?
Repeating the initial question about awareness of one's current location.
...you're in Ambler
Reaffirming the presence in Ambler.
