This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Ambulance X extracts several consultants
From the slow gumming death at the office orifice.
Ambulance why imprisons the sigh of the recent amputee
And dumps her in the xylophone trees.
Ambulance X scours the tanning complex for Repunzels
Rotting in their skin cooking coffins.
Ambulance why drops the body off at the door step.
Ambulance X pulls you out of the party
And rubs your freckles like a DJ to his records
But Ambulance why teaches you the word goodbye
And cuts your hands to show you where you stand,
Under the monolith of what is love and what is scam, what is sun and what is tan.
The Ambulance Angels pull up to your doorstep
The sirens flash emergency,
"You'd better come quick."
The Ambulance Angels chisel a crack in your mouth,
And then they paint a landscape with your regret and shouts.
Roll tape and decode the moans,
Ventilate the scandal from these locked up mouth holes.
You'll never see your wife
And children again so tell us what it was going Through your head,
When you looked into their eyes
And said "no thanks i'll take the hooker instead"
You'll never see that office again
so when the nurse amputates both of your thighs
come a little bit closer to the mic
and tell us what you miss more your desk or the hungry sky.
The Ambulance Angels pull up to the graveyard,
and leave you there bubbling broken sonnets and shards.
The Ambulance Angels notify your next of kin
and show them the scrap book of your operation:
His head was a faucet leaking love, laughter and lies:
All his secret wishes, all his world famous sighs.
Before you remember, Oh yeah, before you give in,
Just remember we're coming back for your children.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Wow, no one has said anything about this song yet. I like it.
great song. fav song of the album.
''No thanks I'll take the Hooker Insted'' best part of the song! Much love for the Blood Brothers! <3
It's amazing. Lyrically it's so amazing...but vocally it shows how beautifully they juxtapose melody and chaos
anyone know the background in this song?
this song is the one that got me hooked on the Blood Brothers... pure genius
i think the blood brothers are an acquired taste. i mean i think they are fantastic but my boyfriend says this was the first song he downloaded and he hated it.
oh well. i love the lyrics.. they're so random!
This song makes me wanna dance.
New video to this song. It's GREAT. It's just as artistic as the song itself... If you read through all of their lyrics for their albums, especially Burn Piano Island, Burn you notice the Blood Brothers take on a bit of a progressive edge. The Ambulance Angels are in a way like his punishment for everything he did wrong. He gave up on the things that mean most to him, family, job, for his dirty fantasies. I honestly can't decipher the meaning of most of the Blood Brothers songs since it's quite metaphorical, though.
wow this song is amazing.. i don't think i could ever get sick of it. but onthestereo's right.. it is an acquired taste. when i first heard the song i was didn't care for it much, but after hearing it a few times i couldn't go back.
"Ambulance X scours the tanning complex for repunzels rotting in their skin cooking coffins."
thats great.. just because i am OPPOSED to tanning. and i love the last chorus. i just want to dance.
well anyways. as far as what it means. ambulance X is obviously doing the rescuing, while ambulance Y is reporting the bad news.
maybe i'll add more later.
