Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blur's song "Ambulance" exude a feeling of comfort and safety from the feeling of being scared. The repeated phrase "I ain't got nothing to be scared of" is sung in a calm and reassuring tone, as if trying to convince someone that they have nothing to fear. The lyrics seem to be addressed to a person that the singer loves, and the fact that they don't have to be scared implies that they will always be protected and loved.

The second part of the song shifts towards a more personal perspective, as if the singer is talking about their own life. The lines "I was born out of love, It's the only way to come into this world" suggest a belief in the importance of a loving upbringing. The line "I know I'm not all there, but I'm getting, getting, getting there" could be interpreted as an acknowledgement of personal struggles, but also a determination to improve and grow. Then, the singer directly addresses their loved one, saying "If you let me live my life, I'll stay with you to the end" indicating a desire for a continued relationship and support from that person. The song finishes with a repeat of "I ain't got nothing to be scared of," emphasizing the message of comfort and safety.

Overall, "Ambulance" is a comforting song that reassures listeners with its calming tone and lyrics about love and protection. It suggests that having someone to love and support you can alleviate fears and make life feel more secure.

“Ambulance” (救急車)

【歌詞和訳】

僕には恐るものが何もない
恐るものが何もない
恐るものが何もない
だって君を愛しているから

僕は愛から生まれた
それはこの世界に生まれるたった一つの方法
まだそこに完全に辿り着いたわけじゃないけど
どんどん近づきつつある
もし僕に自分の人生を生きさせてくれるなら
最後まで君のそばにいるよ
神様、わかるよ
僕はもうすぐ近くまで来てる
君にこのことを伝えたいんだ

僕には恐るものが何もない
恐るものが何もない
恐るものが何もない
だって君を愛しているから

恐るものは何もない
恐るものは何もない

恐るものは何もない
恐るものは何もない

One of the most moving songs ever made. When Damon sings "I was born out of love..." it's just with such a fragile honesty.

K-leb

This is one of those songs that must have really blown my 6-year-old mind when I first listened to it. I believe my stepdad was the person who brought Think Tank into the family, and it's been one of the cornerstone albums of my childhood that helped blossom my music taste and who I am today.

Believe it or not, but this was my basis on what I thought "Blur" was. Blur without the legendary Graham Coxon was who I thought the band was for a long time. This bleak, grey and red aesthetic still kinda pops up to the forefront of my mind when I think of "Blur", even though I'm now much more used to their britpop, guitar-heavy aspect.

Hearthing I honestly quite love this album, but it is a definite change of pace from their much earlier parts, so it's understandable that it's somewhat decisive.

I still play this song every couple of weeks, even after all this time because this album is a classic.

19 years old when this came out, then I found myself alone in a foreign country, had the CD in my discman all the time, used to listen to this track on repeat everytime I got nervous, on public transports, late afternoon walks, before I go to sleep.

I was 41 when this came out. This is the first time I heard any of it because I was such a huge Graham Coxon fan and didn’t want to hear a Blur without him. So far, so good

Yeah, the lyric “I was born out of love, it’s the only way to come into this word” is a really poignant and uplifting insight.

For me the song is a prayer. There's a section in the book "The End of the Affair" by Graham Greene where the female lead makes a promise to God that fundamentally changes her life. I've always thought about that when listening to Ambulance. The natural focus in Ambulance is on the words "I was born out of love It's the only way to come into this world." Yes lovely words but for me the key is the words that follow. "I know I'm not all there, But I'm getting, getting, getting there, If you let me live my life, I'll stay with you to the end, And I know, lord, I'm nearly there, I want to tell you this." A prayer. A promise of loyalty and change. Amazing stuff. My favourite song Damon, cheers dude.

So much more meaning than on the surface.
This album is slated so much but it has its own story and it’s own era and I’m glad they did this as a 3 piece stoned out of their heads on weed in Morocco.

On the copy of this album that I bought, in order to listen to this song, you had to hold rewind once track 1 started, until you got to the beginning of this song. I didn't even realize this song was on there! I'd never even heard of hidden tracks at the beginning of CDs, just at the end. So, technically, you had to listen to this song backwards first, every time you wanted to listen to it. Just made it all the more special.

Holy shh— That makes complete sense to me now. Although as a 6-y/o I was tripping.

My dad bought this album from HMV the year it came out, and I guess didn’t think much of it (at least not anywhere near as much as I) bc it came into my CD collection. And I remember listening to it start–finish in my bedroom, but there being a “song missing”. My favourite, I think I’d have said. Whenever I heard it (along w a few others on the album), it would have me crying, completely emotionally overwhelmed. But my folks must’ve thought I was being a foolish kid and didn’t believe me about this missing track! This has literally answered some deep-seated question, haha

But man oh man this album was some sort transcendental emotional awakening as a boy. Song’s exceptional

Así empieza uno de mis discos favoritos de Blur y que en su momento fue muy poco valorado. Todo mundo pensaba que con la salida de Graham Coxon este grupo no iba a ser igual y al contrario: Pareciese cómo si en realidad nunca lo hubieran extrañado.

Cos it's fucking excellent and it's a bit older. Even though to me as a blur fan since 93 this is 'late blur', it's even nostalgic to me. That's the Blur/Damon melancholy effect.

Well, it may not have been, but I do know that Think Tank was the first Blur album I listened to, and I assume that I was listening to it from the beginning when it was first played for me. I was only a kid, so I don't quite remember.
