By Distant Cousins
Today I take my own advice and make the most of it
Too many times my choices have been guided by my fears
Into the dark and unknown water I will sink or swim
Like a blade of grass reaching for the sun, I'm ready to begin
I keep on climbing
Up against the wind
Tonight the sky is calling
Are you ready?
Are you ready
To fly on your own
The streets below were cold and crowded I asked my way around
The loudest truth I ever heard was the softest sound
When you whispered in my ear, first time I could see
I was looking everywhere, you're right here next to me
-Chorus
Today I take my own advice and make the most of it
"Are You Ready" by Distant Cousins is a song about taking control of your own life and facing your fears head-on. The first verse highlights the importance of making choices based on what we really want instead of being guided by fear. The phrase "into the dark and unknown water I will sink or swim" is a metaphor for taking risks and the uncertainty that comes with it. The image of a "blade of grass reaching for the sun" suggests that we must be like plants that grow upward no matter how difficult the circumstances are.
The chorus is an invitation to leave behind our fears and embrace the unknown. The line "up against the wind" evokes the idea of a struggle against the odds, which is what makes the experience of flying on your own so exhilarating. The words "the sky is calling" suggests a sense of adventure and unlimited possibilities that await those who are brave enough to take the leap.
In the second verse, the lyrics take a more personal turn. The streets below are described as "cold and crowded", which is a metaphor for feeling lost and disconnected in life. The loudest truth, however, was a "softest sound" that came from someone close to the singer. The person's whisper represents a moment of clarity that allowed him to see things in a new way. The final line "you're right here next to me" implies that the answers we seek are often closer than we think.
Overall, "Are You Ready" is a motivating song that encourages listeners to take control of their lives and not be afraid to take risks. It reminds us that even if we fail, there is always the possibility of learning and growing from our experiences.

SPOILER
It's a possibilty that what I read on the "leaked script" is true then
Toothless and the other dragons will actually leave berk and go to the hidden world. And based on the trailer the "bearded hiccup" is when toothless came back to the surface to make hiccup see his babies or hiccup visited toothless. Idk if it's real but it's what I read on the leaked script of httyd 3.
