Are You Ready
AC/DC/ACDC/ACDC/AC/DC/ACDC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Standing in the street
Hands outta line
Looking for some meat
She take you high
When you feel her sting
She make you fly
And you know you're coming
Who all need it who
Who all need it you
Who all need it, who all need it
You all breathe it, we all need it
Are you ready for a good time
Then get ready for the night line
She making eyes
At everything she meet
ain't it a crime
When she make you pump heat
She make you fly
Because that's her thing
She make you dry
And you know you're broken in
Who all need it, who all need it
You all breathe it, we all need it
Are you ready for a good time
Then get ready for the night line
The lyrics of AC/DC's song "Are You Ready" may seem to be talking about a woman on the prowl for a good time, but the band's iconic style of innuendo and double entendre suggests that the lyrics may be interpreted in another way. The lyrics, "Sweet apple pie, standing in the street, hands outta line, looking for some meat," could actually be a reference to drug use. Sweet apple pie is often used as a slang term for heroin, while the phrase "looking for some meat" could be interpreted as looking for drugs to inject.
The lyrics continue with the phrase, "She take you high when you feel her sting, she make you fly, and you know you're coming." This could be interpreted as the high that comes with drug use, followed by the feeling of coming down that leaves the user wanting more. The repetition of the phrase, "Who all need it, who all need it," is like a chant, reinforcing the idea of addiction and the need for the drug.
The chorus of the song, "Are you ready for a good time, then get ready for the night line," could be interpreted as a warning that drug use will lead to a spiraling lifestyle of waiting in line all night to get a fix. Overall, the lyrics of "Are You Ready" could be seen as a cautionary tale about drug use and addiction, disguised in AC/DC's signature style of rock and roll.
