If you know the song, my hat comes off to you, dear festingo fan. If you do not know the song
EDUCATE YOURSELF!!!!

Written in December of 2009,The Ambiguous Song is arguably the most popular festingo song ever composed. It is also one of my personal favorites because of its tremendous power and emotional energy. And the crowd goes crazy over it. But do they really know what it's about? Most Festingo originals are pretty straight forward (Sasquatch is about the struggles of a modern sasquatch. Pirate song is very much about pirates.) so that people can relate and easily access the fun. The lyrics to Ambiguous, however, are hazy, confusing and....ambiguous. And that's the point.
Like most songs we write, this one started as a joke. Drummer, Chris Ruffini was known to throw the word around like candy. "My you look ambiguous today!" He woukd say. "I'm feeling pretty ambiguous right now."
It didn't make any sense, and it was hilarious. Especially when people didn't know what the word meant. We were working on a beautiful new chord progression at the time, but no one could figure out what to write it about. (You can hear one of the first run throughs of this progression during the intro of our 2009 Christmas Special on youtube!). And so Chris Ruffini, being the comedian that he is, said it should be about ambiguous. We laughed at the idea, but then started fooling around with some possible lyrics. And they stuck.

We start each morning with the setting of the sun,
can't say when it's over, but we all know when it's done
Take it or leave it, it's all just the same
we can either win of lose in this God forsaken game

CHORUS: But don't you know life's a bit ambiguous
We'll never know what will become of us
And don't you know life doesn't make much sense
It's all he same, despite the difference

Walking the distance, destination not in sight
they say that life's a bagel, so let's all just take a bite
Smoke in the distance, and fire in the sky
we can only ask ourselves why? why? why?!
(CHORUS) (SOLO) (CHORUS)

We end each day with the rising of the sun
Can't say when it's over, but we all know when it's done....

The lyrics don't make any sense. Waking up when the sun goes down? Going to sleep when it rises? What's this about smoke in the distance? Who says life's a bagel?
Exactly.
It's written to make you confused. It's written to be ambiguous. The lyrics describe the title. But why? The chorus explains the verses. What does it matter what the words say, we don't know anything anyway. It's existentialism at its finest. Life doesn't make any sense, so why should we?
If the world opperated on simple laws and cycles, and everything was predictable than maybe our music would be too. But honestly, nonsense is way more fun.
