Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Why don't you open up me tall
I am ready, I am ready for a fall
Instead of carving up the wall
Why don't you open up me tall
We are ready, we are ready for the floor
I can't hear your voice, do I have a choice?
I'm hoping with chance, you might take this dance
I can't hear your voice, do I have a choice?
(You're sinking below, I'm using my force)
I'm hoping with chance, you might take this dance
You're my number one guy
Instead of carving up the wall
Why don't you open up me tall
I am ready, I am ready for a fall
Instead of carving up the wall
Why don't you open up me tall
We are ready, we are ready for the floor
I can't hear your voice, do I have a choice?
(You're sinking below, I'm using my force)
I'm hoping with chance, you might take this dance
You're my number one guy
Number one guy
Number, number, number, number, number,
One, one, one, one, one guy
(Number one guy) Stand carving up the wall
(One, one guy) Why don't you open up at all?
(Number, number, number one)I am ready, I am ready for a fall
(Number one, number one) Stand carving up the wall
(Number one, one, one) Why don't you open up at all?
(Guy, guy) We are ready, we are ready for the floor

The lyrics to Hot Chip's song "Ready for the Floor" seem to be about a person who is ready to take the next step in their relationship. The repeated phrase "Do it now" and "Say it now" suggest an urgency to express their feelings and take action. The lines "Instead of carving up the wall / Why don't you open up me tall" could be interpreted as a metaphor for breaking down emotional barriers and allowing oneself to be vulnerable.
The repeated line "I can't hear your voice, do I have a choice?" could suggest a fear of rejection or not knowing where they stand with the other person. The repeated line "You're my number one guy" reinforces the idea that the lyrics are directed at one specific person.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of someone who is ready to take a risk and pursue a deeper connection with someone they care about.

@thegrinderman1090
I want to publicly apologise for not giving this song the respect it deserved when it was being played at all the 2008 indie discos. I was blind, but now I see.
@elenawinchester2032
Perdonado 😂
@thegrinderman1090
@elenawinchester2032 Thank you, Sister 🙏
@secretjazz93
2008 indie disco was amazing and honestly it still slaps!! vintage synths funk guitar and lyrics about love and casio
(hot chip's "over and over")
@AdrianLopezpuntocom
Never too late
@thegrinderman1090
Was into the more punky dance stuff like Crystal Castles and The Rapture, and thought I was too cool for this sincere cheesy synthpop 🙄 Little did I know, sincerity is the coolest thing there is!
@tehdopefish
I am so glad this was uploaded in better quality! It's so much better when you can actually hear all the synths.
@NEFARIVM
FINALLY WE CAN ENJOY IT AS IT SHOULD BE IN HIGH QUALITY NOT IN 360Pp
@flaxhorizon
720p has not been considered HQ since around 2013...
@NEFARIVM
@@flaxhorizon but it's still better than what we got before
