Violet
Ambulance Son Lyrics

His liver damaged in the wreck
The person's liver was injured during an accident

The windshield shattered
The glass at the front of the vehicle broke into pieces

All for an instant fleeting like cars from the street
It happened quickly and was over in a moment, like cars passing by

Cat tops spin across the highway and horses die in backseats
There is chaos and destruction on the road, including the death of horses in cars

Don't blink now
Pay close attention to what's happening

I know I can't talk man, but I understand
Even though I can't communicate verbally, I empathize with you

Any way I look at him my love, you've got to come back soon it's not fair
No matter how I view the situation, it's unfair that you're gone and I want you to return

They choke your neck with a seatbelt that meant to help
The seatbelt intended to save lives is causing harm

Break it apart
Separate it into pieces

Misunderstand me
Don't get the wrong idea about what I'm saying or doing

Flash this evening on the sky screen
Remember this moment, picture it in your mind

Drive to Vegas and get yourself hitched
Go to Las Vegas and get married

If I live through my imperfections - two glass decades and you're still angry - I don't want to be your friend anymore
If I survive despite my flaws and you're still upset with me after many years, I don't want to maintain our friendship

We turned a wheel that raised a wall and made this living world turn red
We caused something terrible to happen, causing destruction all around

But I'm not scared
Even though things are frightening or difficult, I am not afraid

I pulled my arms from the fence where I leapt
I freed myself from the difficult situation I had been in

Violet...
A word that inspires memories or emotions

Like rain returning (...Violet...) back to the earth from a cloud
Returning to something familiar or comforting

Falling down makes you squint as it hits your glasses lens
When things fall apart, it can be painful to confront them

I set a trap, caught myself
I created a harmful situation for myself

So I surrender
I give up or admit defeat

That's what I did
I surrendered to the difficult situation

It wasn't there
Something that was expected or hoped for was missing

No, no, n-n-no, it wasn't there
Repeated emphasis on the absence of what was sought after

I looked, I looked
I searched and searched

I looked everywhere
I searched everywhere for what I wanted

The girl I lived for Saturdays she watched this brilliant star grow faint
Someone I cared about watched as something once bright and beautiful became dull

But it's not there - It's not there
Emphasis on the absence of a desired object or outcome

I made this light to give to you
I created something special to share with you

No matter what you do
I will continue to care for you regardless of your actions

I've been storing up these words to pour like rain like peace upon your perfect head
I have been waiting for the right moment to tell you something kind and comforting

Illuminate you, stardrenched lover
I want to shine a light on you, my beloved

She wore a charm (She wore a charm)
The person wore an item of jewelry believed to bring good luck

A necklace that you had tied (She tied it)
A necklace that was worn and tied by someone else

Before that night I drowned you in a reservoir
Before a tragic ending, there was a time when we were together

And all the world a twirling top - it will be yours to stop
The world spins on despite its chaos, but you have the power to make it stop
