Letterbox Ross
Ambleside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
feeling cornered by these expectations
no motivation, we keep tracing backwards
giving up and finding desperation fills our lungs
but we wont get lost, no we wont get lost
All it takes is one step forward
Your path is your own foot steps
The signs to find your own way
Will always be in front of you
here at the point of unknown possibility
will you choose to live your life, held back by barriers
the world around you is on your side
things can get better if you try, things will get better if you try.
Your life, your choices
Your future's in your hands
Surround yourself with those that keep you in the state of mind
that living positive will make a change
Follow the sound of my voice
can you block out the noise of every regretful choice?
Here in the pure air, away from cold death stares
lets move forward, stay on track
be strong, never looking back.
In Ambleside’s song, “Letterbox Ross”, the lyrics talk about the struggles of feeling vulnerable against the world’s expectations. The singer feels cornered, trapped by the weight of these expectations, with no motivation or ability to move forward. The song explores the personal journey of overcoming these barriers in order to find one’s own path in life. Despite the desperation that fills the singer’s lungs, they refuse to give up and become lost. Instead, the lyrics encourage taking one step forward, acknowledging that one's path is their own, and that the signs to find one’s own way will always be in front.
The song also acknowledges the reality of the unknown and the possibility of barriers that may slow us down along the way. Nevertheless, it encourages listeners to surround themselves with positivity and to be strong, always moving forward and never looking back. The final lines, “Here in the pure air, away from cold death stares/Lets move forward, stay on track/Be strong, never looking back,” emphasize that it’s important to free oneself from negativities and to focus on the future.
