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 split up in September 2011 and played one-off reunion show in July 2014.

Runnin' Away
Ambrosia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything was right
All the years we spent in love
Just to end one night
A lot of things are closin' in on me
She's gone, and I'm in misery
There's no place that I can really be
[Chorus]
So I'm runnin' away
I have got to be alone
I'm runnin' away
It makes no sense at all
Think of the summers when I held you here
All the dreams we'd planned
Afternoons we spent alone
I can't understand
A lot of things are closin' in on me
She's gone, and I'm in misery
There's no place that I can really be
Out into my own
[Chorus]
All I really want to know
What it is that makes love grow
Still inside me it remains
I never spend a day
Without wondering how I'll make it alone
[Chorus x 3]
The lyrics of Ambrosia's "Runnin' Away" express the feeling of being trapped and in pain after the end of a relationship. The first stanza recalls a time of happiness and love, where everything was right and they spent years together. However, it all ended abruptly one night. The second stanza's lyrics reflect the current state of the singer, feeling that the walls are closing in and that there is no place to go, except out to their own. The chorus repeats the phrase "runnin' away" as a way to escape the pain and confusion, even if it makes no sense at all.
The third stanza expresses the love that remains, wondering what makes it grow and acknowledging that it remains inside the person, even though they are alone. The final chorus repeats the need to be alone and continue to run away from the pain that arises from the memories of the past relationship.
The song encapsulates the turmoil and desperation of someone who is struggling to move on after a breakup. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who wants to escape, yet still craves and misses the love that once was.
Line by Line Meaning
Think of the summer when I held you here
Remembering the joyful moments of the past
Everything was right
All was perfect during that time
All the years we spent in love
They cherished long period of being in love
Just to end one night
All the love they shared was over in just one night
A lot of things are closin' in on me
There is a sense of losing control due to different life circumstances
She's gone, and I'm in misery
The separation from the loved ones causing deep sadness
There's no place that I can really be
No place seems comfortable; nowhere to call home
Out into my own
Left with only oneself and one's own thoughts
So I'm runnin' away
Wanting to escape from the current situation
I have got to be alone
Expressing the need for solitude to think and reflect
It makes no sense at all
Feeling lost and not knowing what to do
All the dreams we'd planned
Remembering the beautiful dreams of the future they shared
Afternoons we spent alone
Reminiscing the quality time they enjoyed together
I can't understand
Unable to make sense of what went wrong
All I really want to know
Desire to understand the essence of love
What it is that makes love grow
Trying to understand the mystery behind the growth of love
Still inside me it remains
The love that was shared still resides within
I never spend a day
Every day is filled with thoughts of the past love
Without wondering how I'll make it alone
Uncertainty about the future of being alone and coping with it
