1. Ambrosia was a California, United States band formed by David Pack (guitars, vocals), Christopher North (keyboards), Burleigh Drummond (drums) and Joe Puerta (bass, vocals). On their self-titled LP in 1974, they blended quirky progressive rock with lush harmonies and scored hits with the offbeat song Nice, Nice, Very Nice and the ballad Holdin' on to Yesterday. Their subsequent albums focussed more and more on the pop ballads and less and less on the progressive elements, and while they had some success with singles, they called it quits after 1982's Road Island. Ambrosia re-formed in the late 90s and continue to tour and enterain their fans. A live CD Live at the Galaxy was released in 2002, and they are currently recording a new studio album that long time fans are hoping will be released in 2009.
2. Ambrosia was a Latvian hardcore punk band formed in Valmiera, Latvia in 2005.
The band has toured around Latvia and Estonia and became one of the best-known newcomers to the Latvian hardcore scene. Their music is also included on music compilation Latvian Hardcore Punk Volume 5.

Ambrosia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Better take what you can to feed it
In a world of hunger and greed
Lives a heart that's truly bleedin'
Now the question of me and you is just remainin' a mystery
I guess it just goes to prove that you never really did love me
So you might just ask your mama
Well, you might just ask your conscience
If I left you or you left me
Well, you say that you want somebody
Who's gonna treat you like a queen
When you don't even have the time of day
For the things that mean a lot to me
I hoped that we'd piece it together
And put an end to the misery
But these things take forever
And it never did occur to me
That you might go home to mama
And that's the way it'd be
Well, you might just ask your conscience
If I left you where you left me
You left me dancin' by myself, dancin' by myself
And I can't find no one else
Can't find no one else
You left me dancin' by myself, dancin' by myself
And I don't want no one else, yeah
Dancin', dancin'
So you might just ask your mama
If that's the way it should be
You might just ask your conscience
If I left you where you left me
You left me dancin' by myself, dancin' by myself
And I can't find no one else
Can't find no one else
You left me dancin' by myself, dancin' by myself
And I don't want no one else dancin'
And I can't find no one
Can't find no one else
The lyrics of Ambrosia's song "Dancin' By Myself" tells the story of a failed romantic relationship which was one-sided, leaving one of the partners in solitude. The singer of the song explains that in a world of "hunger and greed", they have found themselves with a "bleedin'" heart as their partner never really loved them. The question of the relationship's status remains a mystery to the singer, which suggests that their partner may have been ambiguous in their intentions, leading them on or giving them false hope.
The chorus repeats the line "You left me dancin' by myself," which serves as a metaphor for the loneliness and abandonment that the singer feels. The following verses suggest that the singer has put effort into the relationship, while their partner has not reciprocated in kind. The partner claims to want somebody who will treat them like a queen, but they do not make time for the things that matter to the singer or the relationship. The singer hoped to "piece it together" and "put an end to the misery," but their partner leaves them stranded and alone instead.
Overall, the lyrics express feelings of hurt, confusion, and rejection that come with a failed relationship. The singer is left feeling alone while their partner seems to have moved on without them. Through the use of metaphors and vivid descriptions, the lyrics manage to convey complex emotions and experiences that listeners can relate to in their own lives.
Line by Line Meaning
Whatever it is you need
No matter what you're looking for
Better take what you can to feed it
You should get what you can to satisfy that need
In a world of hunger and greed
In a society where there is poverty and selfishness
Lives a heart that's truly bleedin'
There are people who are struggling and hurting
Now the question of me and you is just remainin' a mystery
Our relationship is now unclear and unknown
I guess it just goes to prove that you never really did love me
This shows that your love for me was not authentic
So you might just ask your mama
Maybe you should seek guidance from your mother
If that's the way it should be
To see if this is the proper way to conduct ourselves
Well, you might just ask your conscience
Perhaps you should consult your moral compass
If I left you or you left me
To determine who was at fault for the breakup
Well, you say that you want somebody
You claim you desire a companion
Who's gonna treat you like a queen
Someone who will treat you with respect and admiration
When you don't even have the time of day
You don't have any time for me
For the things that mean a lot to me
For what is essential in my life
I hoped that we'd piece it together
I hoped we could work it out
And put an end to the misery
To conclude this period of anguish
But these things take forever
But these things can take a very long time
And it never did occur to me
And I never realized
That you might go home to mama
That you might go back to your family
And that's the way it'd be
And that would be the end of it
You left me dancin' by myself, dancin' by myself
You abandoned me, leaving me alone
And I can't find no one else
And I cannot find another companion
Can't find no one else
I am unable to find anyone else
And I don't want no one else, yeah
I don't want anyone else
So you might just ask your mama
So, you may want to ask your mother
If that's the way it should be
To see if this is normal or expected behavior
And I can't find no one
I am unable to find anyone
Can't find no one else
I cannot find another companion
You left me dancin' by myself, dancin' by myself
You left me alone on the dance floor
And I don't want no one else dancin'
I don't want to dance with anyone else
And I can't find no one
And I cannot find anyone else
