The message isn't "you can never save yourself." She's saying, "Save yourself by asking God to save you." There's a lot of hope in this song. |

|
The narrator lives her life in fear, due to a past filled with regret and secrecy and a present that she doesn't feel she is in control of. She has either been alienated by those she once knew or has alienated herself from them, an incredibly hopeless state and feeling. I get the impression that she doesn't know who she is anymore. She lives in darkness, seeking any colorful glimmer of hope that comes her way. She isn't singing, "I need yourself!" She is singing, "I need your self!", because she doesn't feel as if she can be who she truly is without this other person in her life. This person she is singing to gives her an identity, something she doesn't feel she has on her own. She has secrets and she is willing to divulge them to satisfy her desires, but only covertly. It is clear that the narrator wants this person in her life, as friend or even a lover, but she isn't willing to out right say what it is that she wants from this person. She portrays herself as a mystery, and maybe that's all she will ever be: to herself and others. The music is absolutely gorgeous. I've had this song in my head all day. I thought she was singing, "commit yourself!" instead of "I need your self" and I was just repeating that mantra over and over. It really helped get me through the day. What's better than commitment, right? I'm kinda disappointed that the words in this song aren't as positive as I first thought. |

| Doves – Ambition Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
The sound of this song is so interesting in comparison to the title. You'd expect a song called 'Ambition' to sound a bit more...ambitious! But what we hear is regret, melancholy, and defeat. This song is not about the 'thrill of the chase', so to speak, but the consequences of getting exactly what it is that we want. The 'you' in this song has discovered the down side to chasing after his or her worldly goals. While striving for the fleeting contentments that our societies provide us, we easily forget about the things that truly matter in this life. To the narrator of this song, what matters most is love. Due to his ambitions he has lost touch with the love in his own heart. He fears that he may never find it again, though he still searches and remains hopeful that he will find it again. This song is a beautiful, (but achingly sad,) warning to the listener to hold firmly to the meaningful things we always had, and not pursue the things that are easily lost. Ambition cuts you down. |
