For This Cause Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Calling out for somebody to help me
Find a pulse in the cold of your skin now
Losing hope still I'm praying
While I'm waiting for the ambulance lady
She flies with a hope to save me
From the thought of losing you like you lost me
No I'm never letting go
We're rushing like a cold winters day down the stairs now
As the wheels roll on in up the drive way
Moving fast lifting slow being careful
Finding hope still I'm praying
While I'm waiting for the ambulance lady
She flies with a hope to save me
From the thought of losing you like you lost me
I'm never letting go of you, no I'm never letting go
Here you are miss ambulance lady
Take care fix her up for me
Don't you dare tell me I can't come with you
I'll never leave your side again, no I'm coming for the ride
No I'm coming for the ride
And I'm never letting go
No I'm never letting go
Whoa
They're cutting all your ties
That take away your life
And putting back in place
What you put out with all your lies
While I'm waiting for the ambulance lady
She flies with a hope to save me
From the thought of losing you like you lost me
I'm never letting go of you, no I'm never letting go
No I'm never letting go
No I'm never letting go
I'm never letting go
The song "Sirens" by For This Cause is a powerful ballad that tells a heart-wrenching story of someone finding their loved one in their room unresponsive, and their desperate fight to save them. The first verse describes the horrifying moment of discovery when the singer wakes up to find their significant other not breathing. The second verse shows the urgency of the situation as they rush down the stairs to meet the ambulance that has arrived to help. The chorus captures the sentiment of the whole song when the singer promises to never let go of their loved one as they fight for their life.
The verses are anchored by the repeated refrain "While I'm waiting for the ambulance lady, she flies with hope to save me," emphasizing the importance of being able to rely on others for help in difficult situations. The bridge is a plea for someone who has been living a dishonest life to make amends before it's too late. Finally, the song ends with the singer declaring their unwavering love and commitment to never letting go of their loved one.

Calling out for somebody to help me
I cry out for help, calling someone to help me with you
Find a pulse in the cold of your skin now
I try to find a pulse in your cold skin
Losing hope still I'm praying
Even though I feel hopeless, I still pray for your recovery
While I'm waiting for the ambulance lady
While waiting for the paramedic to arrive
She flies with a hope to save me
She comes quickly with the intention of saving you
From the thought of losing you like you lost me
I fear losing you just as you lost me
I'm never letting go of you, no I'm never letting go

We're rushing like a cold winters day down the stairs now
We move quickly, like a cold winter day, down the stairs
As the wheels roll on in up the drive way
As the ambulance arrives and heads up the driveway
Moving fast lifting slow being careful
We move quickly but carefully, taking care of you
Finding hope still I'm praying
Even though I am hopeful, I still pray for your recovery
Here you are miss ambulance lady
The paramedic, who is a woman, arrives
Take care fix her up for me
Please take care of her and help her recover
Don't you dare tell me I can't come with you
I insist on accompanying you in the ambulance
I'll never leave your side again, no I'm coming for the ride
I vow to never leave your side again and am determined to be with you in the ambulance
They're cutting all your ties
The medical team is removing all the devices connected to you
That take away your life
These devices are not helping you and may be harming you
And putting back in place
They are replacing them with something better
What you put out with all your lies
They are replacing these harmful devices with something that will help you recover from the harm you caused yourself through your lies
No I'm never letting go
I will never let you go
