Bnny’s Everything performs a progressive sentimental serenade

Released as one of four singles prior, “Ambulance” opens the album with ambient guitar strums before Viscius’ delicate whispers emerge to say, "When I see an ambulance / I close my eyes.” Serving as a testament to haunted romance - a recurring theme throughout - "Ambulance" seems to fully capture the sorrow as Viscius closes her eyes to block out the real-life triggers which conflict her emotions.
