Ambuletz
The Mars Volta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh lord, You've made it....
You wanna drag your vessel
You wanna hush your voices
You better drag your... you better hush your...
I'll pretend you're not around, I'll forget you
Just like everyone else, I'll forget you
Is there anybody around, I'll forget you
Just like anyone
Just because, just because, just because
Do you come here ohhh
Shiver around, shiver around
Oh Lord, oh lord, you've made it....
You wanna drag your vessel
You wanna hush your voices
...hush your mouth
The lyrics to The Mars Volta's Ambuletz are open to interpretation as they don't follow a specific storyline or theme. One way to interpret it is that it's about moving on from a relationship or a negative experience. The opening lines "Oh lord, You've made it..." could be interpreted as the singer acknowledging that they've made it through a tough time, and they're ready to move forward.
The lines "You wanna drag your vessel, You wanna hush your voices" could mean that the singer is telling themselves to hold back their feelings and desires in order to move on. They're essentially telling themselves to keep their emotions in check, so they don't get hurt again. The repeated lines "I'll forget you, Is there anybody around, I'll forget you" could be seen as a mantra, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that they're moving on.
